RE: Prescriptions from the UK

[Guest guest]

Dear Value Pharmaceuticals,

Thank you for your response. However, I remain confused!

If we can buy prescription drugs from other Internet Pharmacies

in the US without a prescription, what is the regulation that has been changed? There

is no problem with importing medicines for personal use in the UK, as far as I

can see it, none of the law has changed, neither has it changed in US. Can you

please clarify which particular regulation is upsetting you that is not,

apparently, affecting other pharmacies?

The Bill talks about importers and exporters. I have read

the Bill and it seems to intend to regulate import of prescription drugs into

the US and not the export of these drugs. By importers the bill is referring to

importing drugs in the US, and by exporters it is talking about entities that

export drugs to the US (many US Internet Pharmacies do the opposite). Value

Pharmaceuticals would be considered an exporter under this Bill if you have

customers in the US.

The Bill also talks about Internet sites. Again it seems

to regulate transactions within the US and not exporters. For example it

requires a prescription from a physician licensed in the US. How could that

possibly apply to an individual living in the UK?

Furthermore, as far as I am aware, this Bill has not yet been

approved and passed into law. When it is passed into law, it seems like

it would not go into effect for another 90 days after that. I don't see

the significance of January 10th.

As you can see, I need clarification in detail as to why you now

require a prescription to ship to your UK customers, so that I can let our 2717

members know the true facts. This must include the particular regulation in the

Bill that you say has been changed, so we can put this in perspective.

Hi Sheila

We will still need a prescription even to ship to the UK

now. For all Countries regulations are changing.

Please

can you let me know if residents of the UK can still purchase the generic

Armour Thyroid without the need for a prescription issued by their doctor.

Problems in the UK do not allow doctors to write prescriptions for natural

thyroid extract. I run Thyroid Patient Advocacy and an Internet Thyroid Support

Forum and I have just over 2710 members, the majority of who need NDT and buy from

your pharmacy. I need to be able to reassure my members that their ordering

will not be affected for those in the UK.

Many

thanks
