Highlights from this day
  • bpc_sceptic — cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision 19:03
  • bpc_sceptic — how long is the nhs specialist weight management wait where people are, mine was quoted at two years 19:13
  • dublin_dose — off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence 19:39
  • nhs_pathway_nell — wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand 19:45
  • dublin_dose — there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now 19:49

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

is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers

vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax

update from 2 months ago: my clinic price went up by €240 and the supply steadied in the same month

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