  • vacuum_vic — the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria, someone check my working 18:55
  • maintenance_mo — i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them, i have it written down somewhere 18:58

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 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

off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence, happy to be corrected

follow up the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing

the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter

the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
