Re: Shortage of Medecines

I did and dismissed the dangerous stuff as unworthy of an answer. Get your prescription meds abroad ? what sort of idiot would do that ? on line ? again too dangerous to contemplate.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

What sort of idiot would put their life at risk just because of a rule or law?

There are plenty of reputable and very large online pharmacies Julie, that's a fact. Equally the street pharmacies in every major European city are reputable outlets. I'm wondering where you actually think your Meds originate from.

Either way, if you have life affecting Meds and are finding these kind of lame excuses not to get hold of a backup stock of them then you are very foolish.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

How are you getting these meds without prescriptions ? You are ignoring the point that the GPs will not write scripts for them so will be buying blind from illegal sources as legal ones only fill prescriptions.

You cannot stock pile prescribed items no matter where you fill the prescription. You are talking dangerous rubbish.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

Like I told you. Many sites and pharmacies will forego prescriptions depending on what it is.

For example if you want a basic backup stock of antibiotics in case of some apocalyptic event, or even if you just don't want to go to a GP, you can get them very easily. Antibiotics are like paracetamols, widely available.

Of course YOU have to be educated and understand the different antibiotics and how they are to be used and any contraindications with anything else etc etc

But make no mistake, it IS easy to get hold of such Meds WITHOUT any prescription.

You can whinge all you like about dangers and tittle tattle but the facts are that you CAN get prescription Meds without prescriptions from various places. Just do your research.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

Probably easy to obtain if you are willing to take the risk of what is actually in the drugs you are purchasing.

Even generic drugs can look different in different brand names.

Only recently it was big news about some drugs containing cleaning fluids, and faeces and other dangerous things.

How many of ordinary folks have the knowledge and/or equipment to test the contents are what they say on the packet?

I have bought dog meds from a trusted online pharmacy I have dealt with for years, but they would not sell without me sending them the prescription first.

Any firm selling prescription drugs and not asking for the prescription I would avoid like the plague.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

Exactly mups it's so dangerous to suggest people do this, they need a proper pharmacy to test them all before they take them or they could be taking anything. Any where offers prescription drugs with no prescription should be avoided at all costs.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

Right so explain to me how you have been testing the meds you have been given to ensure they aren't full of cleaning fluids. . .


It's laughable.

The prescription is a bit of paper that tells someone whether YOU are entitled to have those Meds.

The prescription has no impact on the safety or efficacy of the medication itself which will have been purchased in bulk by the health service likely from foreign parts.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

That doesn't deserve a proper answer sorry you have pretty much lost the plot there. If you truly believe the NHS is giving us drugs untested and full of faeces etc none of us here can help you.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

To be honest Julie, I don't give a toss what anyone else thinks, least of all someone totally unqualified.

I make my own decisions on what I do, and always have done.
If I did need advice, I would go to someone who knows what they are talking about.
End of.

Re: Shortage of Medecines

And by the same token, if you think big business online pharmacies or regular street pharmacies abroad are selling untested drugs full of faeces then equally no-one can help you. They would be out of business extremely quickly if their products were not genuine.

In the end, you are looking for excuses to not do your research and to not do anything proactive. I have told you plainly and honestly that you CAN buy meds without prescription over the internet from reputable businesses.

Once again, understand that the prescription has NOTHING to do with the medication itself. The prescription is just authority for you to have a medication, nothing more.

So what you are attempting to assert here is that medications bought in the UK are somehow more superior, more safe, more trustworthy than medications bought in say France, or Germany, or Spain, or Portugal or Italy and so on.

Your stance is frankly absurd
