UK site ?

[Mollie24]

Is this a UK site not that I dont want to see posts from around the world but confusing when hearing about medication as some not available in the UK xx

Hello, yes this is a UK site but much of the information is the same across the world.

You may find the same medications under a different name.

If you Google the generic name, it will bring up the commercial names.

Obviously too the welfare and benefit systems are different but we welcome any and all members from across the world.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mollie24 I agree with bluebell99 it might be worth googling for information on generic names of medication the information is pretty much the same around the world.

Our mother site is probably good to look at:

fmauk.org

Good luck my friend.

Hi Mollie24

Although FMA UK is a UK site, many of the forum are based overseas i.e. the MS forum is based in the US. I agree completely that many of the drugs, albeit the same medications, do have differing names to the UK versions.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Americans go by the trade names of their medications, but here in Britain we use the Generic names. It can get confusing to those not familiar with various types of medication.

Hi Midori thank you so much for the explanation as I was unaware of this my friend. I truly hope that you are well today?
