Post by: borchesterlass on August 21, 2014, 10:24:47 AM

i have to spend a while in the Us this Autumm, does anyone knoe if you can buy Vagifem 10mg over the counter , i have a prescription for it in this country but it is always a hassle gettting in from GP and doubt he will give me more than one months supply.

I think it's prescription only but I'm sure your GP will give you extra if you explain the situation. They do that for every other drug so I don't see why they wouldn't for this one?

Ask for the amount you need. I went travelling for 6 months a few years ago and went loaded up with enough medication to get me through.

Never over the counter.  Bring extra.  I'm in US.

Do ask for the amount you need.
You should be OK you're going away, for goodness sake.
Not certain, but don't think it's even available on the internet.
Enjoy the trip.

I always get a six month supply as standard. Just ask for what you need.
