Highlights from this day
- gall_bladder_gav — 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 18:31
- gall_bladder_gav — the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing, ymmv 18:34
- private_script_pri — 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 18:36
- no_appetite_nia — the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me 18:47

anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round

[edited]ok so i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
ask your gp
slightly off topic but how much do the online clinics actually check
just a letter
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
[edited]scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
