Injection Prescriptions and Invicorp in the UK
Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2025 6:43 pm
I live in Northern Ireland. I was prescribed Caverject/Alprostadil in a different European country. My prescription works in Northern Ireland (UK), but it will soon expire.
Can anyone tell me is it easy to get an injection prescription in the UK, via NHS, or even privately?
(I first thought getting the prescription off an NHS doctor would be best because I'd be able to get a pre-payment prescription discount with an NHS prescription, but I also found a pharmacy that gives a generous discount if you bulk buy with a private prescription).
Also does anyone have any experience with Invicorp? I'd like to try it. I can order shots on a website but would prefer to get a prescription. I'm wondering if it's any better than Caverject, or should I just stick to the Caverject?
