Dhea

[Celloheggy]

Anyone manage to get DHEA on an NHS prescription. Wondering whether I should try get GP appointment or not waste my time and just buy it?!

Thanks lovely ladies x

Hiyah

GP's won't prescribe it as it has not undergone testing/ recommendation by NICE. You cannot buy it in UK shops, the only place to buy is online via US stores that deliver to the UK.

Thanks Caroliono4!! Yes I’ve been told to order from US, I won’t bother my GP then, thanks for the advice x

Hi. It’s quite expensive to buy online and can take a bit of time for delivery. We were lucky enough to go to America in February and picked it up very cheap in Walmart! If you have any close friends/family/colleagues it may be worth asking them to stock up if possible? You can order online and have them delivered to hotels or villas etc. Alternatively if you know someone living out there (long shot I know!) but they could maybe order them and send across. I believe they worked wonders for my with an AMH of 3! Not proven though but I swear by them. Would say they are worth the money online if your unable to get them direct 👍xXx

Good idea, have some distant cousins in the US, but I don’t want to explain why I want DHEA! 😂, All ordered, hopefully it won’t take too long to get here x

Hello

I'm a pharmacist and it isn't actually a licensed drug so unfortunately you cannot get a prescription for it.

Hi Emma. Do you know if it’s possible for me to get Utrogestan 200mg on prescription via my gp please? Thank you 😊xXx

Hiya Holly

I've done a little research and it is categorised as 'less suitable for prescribing'. This means that I doubt you're GP will be willing to prescribe it as it doesn't have a lot of evidence behind it so the NHS wouldn't fund it. You could potentially get it on either a private prescription-so you'd have to pay, or via a specialist fertility doctor.

Sorry its not better news.
