  Only aware of Spain. I did ask in Italy last year but was told that it required a prescription.

Hello ladies.

I know this is slightly off topic but I saw a news item about people in the UK buying hormones online. They were people who were transitioning but because the wait for clinic consultations is between two to four years they are buying the drugs and self medicating. The reporter had the hormones analysed and they were the genuine article.

Take care ladies.
