Verification log updated: ERP — evidence added, status unchanged.
unrelated but i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
ni has its own rules

has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing

as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
that was 2024
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
ok so 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
i paid $120 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
member reported only
supply was upstream

cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
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
