you need to go to your doctor and ask for it or look at the ldn trust for ways you can obtain a prescription for it.

Do you have to get a letter from your doctor or can they just do it for you ?

I’m not sure I get a script of consultant an post it every 6 mths you’d need to ring and ask advice they might be able to do it without letter good luck

it's a prescription drug. you need a doctor to prescribe it. You should talk to your GP first about it and make sure that they are aware and support your treatment.

LDN is not a cure, does not help everyone and only has a little bit of clinical evidence behind it.

Dickson Chemist have a factsheet that you can print off and take to your gp; which contains information on how your gp can prescribe ldn. My gp writes me a private prescription which i then send to dicksons. xxx

How much does the GP charge for private prescriptions ?

My gp doesn't charge me ... they have said it would cost me £5 in the past ...but in 5 years I've never had to pay. Xxx
