- VialBot — New independent result logged — WXT, lot A-2601, purity 99% (Medutest). 19:38
- bea_reconstitutes — 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 20:06
- triple_ag_tom — right so scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait cheapest legitimate route i found was a… 20:13
- bea_reconstitutes — 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 20:20
- deadspace — follow up i have never been asked for id at a pharmacy for this and other members here have, so it seems to be down to the individual pharmacist 20:49
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
supply was upstream
is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
prices have moved since
i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
just a letter
mine was 18 months
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
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
right so scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
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

unlicensed isnt illegal
scotland differs
snapshot not fact
as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
that was last year
🙏1❤️6
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word
a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
member reported only
everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it
follow up i have never been asked for id at a pharmacy for this and other members here have, so it seems to be down to the individual pharmacist

bea_reconstitutesa member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which…
northern ireland has two sets of rules doesnt it, how does that work in practice
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
*PeptideMeter not the other one
anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out
quick one anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
ask your gp
the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter, your mileage will differ
private clinic quoted me £185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
coming back to this ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect
[edited]is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk
update from 22 months ago: my clinic price went up by €38 and the supply steadied in the same month, your mileage will differ
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago
coming back after 16 months, is the nhs picture any better
