ni has its own rules
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

Recon calculator: 10mg in 5ml = 8mg/ml.
anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024

while im here the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention

just a letter
unrelated but border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door, we shall see
supply was upstream

mine was 18 months
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
private clinic quoted me £185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
off label is different
ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect, thats just me
anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
prices have moved since
[edited]ireland is separate

*PeptideMeter not the other one
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260northern 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
