the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
off label is different

supply was upstream
member reported only
what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
scotland differs
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria

just a letter
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention, from memory
that was last year

did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
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
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out, not advice obviously
that was 2024
mine was 18 months
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
update on the earlier thing coming back after 6 months, is the nhs picture any better
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
