Highlights from this day
how much do the online clinics actually check
📈17✅16
is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
*Medutest not the other one
scotland differs
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, not advice obviously
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end

an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024, your mileage will differ
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing

anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
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, i have it written down somewhere
private clinic quoted me £72 a month, is that about right or am i being had

i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out
