I've never known of anyone to be entitled to free prescriptions for ADHD. Where does she live and does she have health insurance?

I'm not a good resource then. I live in the States. I know there are several UK folk on here, though, so maybe they can chime in with information. I'd also maybe check out the parent forums on this site as well. healthunlocked.com/adhd-par...

No, you don’t get free prescriptions for ADHD. You only get medical exemption certificates which entitle you to free prescriptions if you have certain conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, severe epilepsy etc. She might be able to apply for free prescriptions on the basis of low income though if she is a student but you would have to look that up because I’m not sure how it works.

Not what you're looking for?
