Where do you source your drugs from? UK, Private Prescription.

Hello!!

I’m back on the steroids (and a host of other concoctions) for treatment of my super-active NKCells.

Previously I had bought my drugs directly from the clinic, but wondering if I can save some money sourcing the drugs myself with a private prescription?

Do you have any recommendations for decent (UK based) pharmacies who are cheaper than the clinics?

Thank you!

Nodded xx

I’ve heard that Asda pharmacies offer a good price on IVF meds, I believe they offer them at a reduced price as part of their CSR agenda - although that could have changed? x

Hi Nodds. It will depend on the medication you need so it’ll be worth calling a few different places. We ended up using stork. For the drugs we needed, the price was the same as ASDA, Lloyds pharmacy and boots. Stork delivered next day free of charge which made things so much easier. Other people find Stork much more expensive and save hundreds elsewhere. My advice is call a few different places and see where works best for the medication you need. Good luck xxx

Hi I used Asda, they do ivf meds at non profit prices and are generally very quick and helpful, I did use Superdrug once as their prices worked out well in comparison to Asda for the drugs I needed on that particular cycle but they were a nightmare to deal with when there were issues getting some of the things I needed so wouldn’t personally use them again. Clinic and stork prices were double the cost for what I needed. Ring round for a few quotes and see where is most convenient and cost saving for you, good luck x
