Highlights from this day
- retention_time — off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence 00:18
- knees_first — slightly off topic but anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next the pharmacy gap in my area lasted about six weeks when i went… 00:49
- knees_first — what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria… 01:42
- vacuum_vic — genuine question 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… 01:52
- private_script_pri — ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect 03:09
supply was upstream
ring more pharmacies

vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax, i think
how many pharmacies do people ring before giving up for the day

northern ireland has two sets of rules doesnt it, how does that work in practice
slightly off topic but anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
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

scotland differs
prices have moved since
ireland is separate
genuine question 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
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
just a letter

wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
