what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
prices have moved since
📈16🔥18✅10
everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy, take that with a pinch of salt
[edited]unlicensed isnt illegal

Digest for the week of 2024-12-08 has been published.
scotland differs

quick one gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
supply was upstream
ok so did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing

ring more pharmacies
mine was 18 months
unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
🔥1
anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
sorry to jump in how long is the nhs specialist weight management wait where people are, mine was quoted at two years

the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
follow up anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
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
snapshot not fact

a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
