Privately Prescribed Medications

We are finding that we have lots of patients who are obtaining medication privately that we haven't been informed about. This can be dangerous (for example, some HRT/contraceptive medications do not work when taken in conjunction with weight loss injections).
 
Please make sure we are aware if you are taking any medication prescribed by a private provider. 
 
If you are being prescribed weight loss injections and are taking HRT or hormonal contraception (mini pill, combined pill, depo injection, implant or hormonal coil) then it is very important to discuss this with your private prescriber.
 
The best way to inform us of your private medication is to send an e-consult via our website.
