i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy

is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement

🎉1🙏18

the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria

anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying

just a letter

PP

genuine question coming back after 19 months, is the nhs picture any better

[edited]

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

anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england

AN

the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me

the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee

wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand

is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers

AN

cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision

unlicensed isnt illegal

snapshot not fact

nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england

ST

as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight, from memory

ST

while im here the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter, anyway

NP

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