- reship_rita — what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word 20:59
- void_volume — everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it 21:07
- void_volume — i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them 22:06
- void_volume — slightly off topic but a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us 22:07
that was last year
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
unrelated but is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
ask your gp

what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
update on the earlier thing 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
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
i paid €120 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
follow up the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria

i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out, your mileage will differ
i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
