the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
the private quotes i collected last spring ran from about 130 to about 250 a month depending on dose, and that will have moved since, for what its worth

ireland is separate
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
mine was 18 months
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out

for the archive unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved
i paid £55 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them

supply was upstream
scotland differs
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
prices have moved since

anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
that was 2024
how much do the online clinics actually check
i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
off label is different
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it

that was last year
unlicensed isnt illegal
pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention, i have it written down somewhere
northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current
everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
quick one what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
ask your gp
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
ring more pharmacies
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
the pharmacy gap in my area lasted about six weeks when i went through it, and it was member reported as nationwide at the time
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
