how to get a private prescription?

[Magpie5]

As cheaply as possible! At the moment it is costing me £120 for a 3 month prescription

It is dependent on what medicine you want a prescription for.

For NDT ERFA

you can get a private prescription from Roseaway labs. You need to register and book an appointment with their prescriber on line and provide proof of your diagnosis and a recent thyroid test result. You will have a short consultation with her then she can prescribe. The consultation costs £30. Medication costs depend upon the drug. I have compounded levothyroxine, this is the only form of medication that I can tolerate. This costs me £75.00 for 100 tablets.

thank you. I have started down the path of getting quotes from Roseway as their prescriptions are so much cheaper (£55 for the first one). But their prices for ERFA are much more expensive than Smartway, and it looks as though I probably would be allowed to get the prescription fulfilled elsewhere. So it doesn’t looks as though it’s going to be any cheaper. It’s going to cost over £200 for 3 months, which I can’t afford

Just in case your post attracts a personal message from a scammer I will post the usual warning about being very wary.

NDT is simply the most expensive option. You could also consider switching to Levo+ T3 combination therapy which would work out an awful lot cheaper.

20mcgThybon Henning tablets = approx 60p each.

⚠️ IMPORTANT! When you receive a message with a recommendation, please do not assume it is genuine!

Scammers are joining the forum on a very regular basis and messaging members with their assertions that they have successfully purchased xyz medication from zyx source.

First, do check the profile of the member that sent you the message. (You can find their profile by searching for their name in the member list here healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Are they a long term member with an active forum posting history? (Just be cautious and check with admin)

Or are they a recently joined member with little or no posting history? (Do be very suspicious and check with admin)

**** Scammers even join our forum and post a 'fake' story about their thyroid journey, that includes mention of self sourcing their thyroid meds. This is to encourage members to ask them where they purchase their medication without prescription.****

-------

Once you have what you think may be a genuine recommendation, you are strongly encouraged to message an Admin to ask whether the admin team have any feedback on the source you've been given.

Please also tell admin the member name/s that messaged you so that we can check them out if necessary.

Admins are not allowed to recommend sources, but we can tell you what, if any, feedback we've received about the source you've been given.

⚠️ Don't part with your much needed money until you are as sure as you can be that the source is genuine.
