Pharmacies abroad

[Goldengirl01]

I believe some pharmacies have stopped accepting prescriptions from Uk. Emails are now invalid. I have tried 2 emails and found no replies then realised one was in junk folder saying email doesn’t exist. I think they are delaying because of brexit so I have lost one private prescription already. I can only speak for 2 but there may be more.

I wouldn't know if pharmacies in other EU countries have already stopped filling UK prescriptions as part of Brexit preparations but, if that is the case, they should tell you so. Are you sure you have the right contact info, and that the email address has not changed since you last contacted the pharmacy in question? Informing you of their shipping policy is common courtesy and I cannot imagine any pharmacy unwilling to do that.

Invalid emails have nothing to do with Brexit.

It could be that they have closed down that once working email for that reason. I have emailed 2 separate pharmacies and have had no reply from either.

Dustpan, are you referring to those German pharmacies mentioned on TUK website? thyroiduk.org/tuk/treatment...

[Goldengirl01 in reply to RedApple]

I was referring to Germany and I have now received a reply accepting my prescription. The other never replied

Are these pharmacies you have ordered from in the past or have had recommended to you? I know some members here order T3 from Germany using a UK prescription so maybe you could ask specifically for advice about pharmacies in a given country shipping T3 or NDT or whatever it is you want to order. Then, members could recommend a given pharmacy and that might make it easier for you.

Again, even if they've stopped shipping to the UK they should tell you so, so the fact that you've had no reply so far either points to the email getting lost in cyberspace or them not having had time to get back to you.
