jenkas Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi I am wondering if anyone can tell me how you go about getting prescriptions for this once I arrive, and the cost? In the UK Thyroxine prescriptions are free, but I know this wont be the case in oz. Thanks Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkinella Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi Jane. Check out the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and search by name. Depends on dosage. You would have to get prescriptions from a GP. Jxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Register with a Dr and you will get a repeat prescription. 200 x 100mg tablets cost $23.98 so not too expensive for Thyroxine. You will probably find you get Eutroxsig, is just the brand name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleylass Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yep, I get Eutroxsig, and finally get my 200mcg all in one tablet which saves a bit of cash! Paid just under $30 for over 6 months supply :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
