LDN is a prescription only product and the suppliers are best found from the person issuing your prescription. Dicksons in Glasgow is one such supplier and the ldnresearchtrust may be a better source of info.

Thanks Des, what I'm not understanding is if it's prescription only. Why would the poster need a supplier. Wouldn't they be getting it via a prescription already from their GP if they need this kind of medication? Just asking.

desquinn, this not entirely true. It is a prescription item as many others but I was getting it for a long time without prescription...my question is where I can get it from? I know Discksons but I was getting it cheaper...

I believe buying prescription medication without a prescription is illegal in the UK and is certainly not advised. Its also not something the charity can support the idea of.

"For prescription-only medicines, an online pharmacy must receive a legally valid prescription before dispensing the medicine. This means you'll either need a paper prescription or an electronic prescription via the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) from a GP or another healthcare professional"

"It can be difficult to distinguish between registered online pharmacies and other commercial websites. The voluntary General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) internet pharmacy logo scheme identifies legitimate online pharmacies that have joined the scheme, so you can be sure you're buying safe and genuine medicines online.

You can also use the GPhC's register to check if a website is run by a registered pharmacy that meets UK standards and is legally allowed to sell medicines to the public.

Dizzytwo, gps do not like prescribing it...even if they do...it is a long process...there are many suppliers who would send it without prescription. I just need to find a new one:)

I am locking this thread as it suggests the purchasing of prescription medication without a prescription.
