Highlights from this day
- vacuum_vic — anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england 13:17
- bea_reconstitutes — 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 13:20
- gall_bladder_gav — genuine question is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing 15:18
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee, i have it written down somewhere
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy
slightly off topic but whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk
[edited]snapshot not fact
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
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

as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
private clinic quoted me £185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
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
member reported only
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
i paid £120 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
genuine question is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
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 - 260the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing, ill dig out the number
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
ask your gp
supply was upstream
