Highlights from this day
- belfast_bac — border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door the tier 3 referral needed my gp to… 21:39
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2601. Nothing logged either way. 21:45
- swab_dry_first — has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this 23:13
- nhs_pathway_nell — for the archive 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, thats just me 23:58
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2601. Nothing logged either way.
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
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
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
private clinic quoted me €185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
slightly off topic but the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter
ring more pharmacies
slightly off topic but did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
i paid $94 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
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
follow up anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
that was last year
coming back to this driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me
supply was upstream
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
😂3📈6
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
scotland differs
for the archive 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, thats just me
