unlicensed isnt illegal
snapshot not fact
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now

i paid €38 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
update from 24 months ago: my clinic price went up by £38 and the supply steadied in the same month, ymmv
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria

is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
that was 2024
