anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
ask your gp
what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route

off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260🎉5
how much do the online clinics actually check
as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
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 irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing

the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing, take that with a pinch of salt
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
ok so i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out

the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
unrelated but did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
ring more pharmacies

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, not advice obviously
unlicensed isnt illegal
