Buying Simvastatin online

[Budlet]

Does anyone buy Simvastatin online, and if so, which company do you use. I am currently paying £7.65 a month as my doctor will only prescribe one month at a time, but this is going to be costly. Thanks in advance.

£7.65 per month is not expensive, is it worth risking dodgy pharmaceuticals for the sake of saving a couple of quid per month at the most?

it's probably v annoying tho seeing as that simvastatin costs the NHS less than a pound a month

Cutting off nose to spite face? just regard the NHs's enormous profit at your expense as a contribution towards your health care.

We have something similar, sqad - the GP can prescribe for say 6 months, the precription is lodged with the chemist and they will dispense to you one month at a time. Having said that, when I go to the GP for my repeats of statins, they always give 2 boxes (56 days) but I am monitored at least once during that period.

Profit, jomifl - I see no profit in the overall picture, otherwise we wouldn't be so overspent and my skilled colleagues losing their jobs in cutbacks.

boxy....yes....I feel that it is a good idea....time saving for the GP and also for the patient.

i don't get how the NHS makes a profit *Chortlesplutters* i have never heard anything so ridiculous. Did you see my post about my very small county and what they spent on drugs in a year?
