If you pay for NHS prescribed HRT medicine 3 or more times in 12 months, an HRT PPC could save you money.

Each item on an NHS prescription usually costs £9.90. You can buy an HRT PPC for a one-off payment of £19.80 (the cost of two single items).

The HRT PPC covers an unlimited number of certain HRT medicines for 12 months, regardless of why they are prescribed.

The HRT PPC does not cover all HRT medicines. Check if it covers your HRT medicine.

Yes if only NHS would prescribe for me, £250 every 2 months for HRT plus similar for thyroid meds is a killer

🤔 You have HRT prescribed privately.. It’s possible this link might be less expensive.
