Highlights from this day
  • group_buy_gwen — how much do the online clinics actually check 20:31
  • group_buy_gwen — ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect 20:43
  • gall_bladder_gav — how many pharmacies do people ring before giving up for the day a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience… 21:45
  • group_buy_gwen — the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing 21:47
  • gall_bladder_gav — the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee 22:29

update from 3 months ago: my clinic price went up by €38 and the supply steadied in the same month

gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
