Does anyone who is on steroids carry a card? If so, where does it come from? Hospital, GP or chemist?

I have 2 I got my first one when being discharged from a stay in hospital. The second I got from the chemist where I get my medication, so if you need one I imagine your chemist will supply one. Hope this helps xx

I think mine came from the chemist too, but if they don't have them, they will certainly tell you where you can get one, I should think. Pharmacists are generally a mine of useful information - I try to stick with the same one, partly because it's a small local business in my case, but also because they do seem to get to know me and my medications, and check up on things.
