Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — 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 19:07
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 98.6% vs 99.2%. Within expected range. 19:40
- sharps_bin_sid — i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy 21:14
the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me
check, dont trust me
genuine question wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee

genuine question the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england

cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
coming back after 3 months, is the nhs picture any better

is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
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
ireland is separate
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it, ill dig out the number
scotland differs
mine was 18 months
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
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
what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
ni has its own rules
off label is different

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
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy

as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
how many pharmacies do people ring before giving up for the day
i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
