Prescription from abroad

1 Reply

Hi Ladies,

I have a question. For my next cycle, my doctor has said that he really thinks I need estrogen patches and/or viagra to get my lining thicker. Unfortunately, they are not available where I live in the Middle East. Do you know is it possible to take a prescription from a doctor outside of EU to a pharmacy in the UK and have it filled? I'm only going to be back in the UK for a few days so trying to plan it in advance in case I need to preorder etc. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks

Claire

I am not sure. With my clinic in Spain they just sent the prescription and then I ordered the drugs (pharmacy or stork or asda). You could try calling them to see if they would accept the prescription. Either that or get a family member to speak with a dr here if the pharmacy option doesn't work. Hopefully someone else can be more helpful x
