Hi there.
Can it be true that Utrogestan is finally approved in all regions of Scotland on the NHS?
I have not heard any news / social media reporting the below change so maybe it has yet to happen?
I am yet to achieve it and paying privately for it plus for private consultations.
Be good to learn whether you have managed to get especially if in the Lothians.

Any information gratefully received. Sorry for going on about it again. 😢

Yes it was approved in December last year and is hopefully making its way into local formularies :)

Yes!
At last it is!
I was prescribed it last month! (My surgery had taken me off it in 2020 and I've had to source it myself since then as no other prog suited me - they didn't tell me it had been brought back though, it was when I visited for something else related to my peri that the GP casually mentioned it had been reallowed) I would never have known!
They took it off me in 2020 because apparently it was 'dangerous' and I could no longer be allowed to have it because of that - I argued that everywhere else in the Uk was allowed to use it and throughout the world and you could buy it - to no avail... They denied it but we ALL know it was because of price ;) )
Anyhoo yes.
Yet to get hold of any in any pharmacy yet though :( (West Lothian) Good job I have a supply that, as I say, I had been forced to buy privately to keep me going until it comes into stock
But yes - great news at last!
