ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect
as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
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
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

ask your gp
that was 2024
private clinic quoted me €185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
mine was 18 months
ireland is separate
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
