well i tried to register. i got the message we don't ship to ur country. and i mean plain aspirin.
i saw the propranolol. slows down heart. i did a lengthy questionnaire. then they delete my application cuz they insist on contacting my US doctor first to see if i can have a propranolol script.
i know some places just say that. but i get the feeling its a beyotch to even get a non controlled med such as propranolol. i guess its controlled now.
anyone else have good luck? but methinks u gotta let them talk to ur doctor in some fashion.

ok, they seemed rather steadfast that of course they dont prescribe meds many of us need to the US. but, they encourage u to try an accepted method. propranolol. then u spend an hour trying to fill out address cuz it wants a UK road. a UK county. and, after making me answer as to my entire history, they state: you must agree to let us contact your US doctor to see if we are "allowed" by him to write a propranolol pill. u kidding me? this had to be done BEFORE we even set up the consult with UK doctor.
shame. but, i shudder to think of the reasoning as to why plain ole aspirin cannot be mailed to me in US. even with a doctor script they cannot do it. PKs. Cherry cough drops. A tad bit anal retentive or overly cautious, but its good for the UK people.
Seriously correct me if I misread the gobbledigook. Been searching as so many lost vendors. And many are not coming back (the vendors.)
Feel free to speak up if you know a viable vendor not in recovery from holidays or r a i d s.

Its basically just a company that delivers a patients repeat scripts to their home, folk who have problems getting to pharmacy to collect, no meds for sale, its not actually an iop. No need for it to be here really.

It's just a quirk of the UK laws. It is what some would call a loophole that sites like these can prescribe and send out problematic drugs (either habit-forming or embarrassing) within the UK. A lot of the stock available (like aspirin) is just window-dressing. Their main income is codeine, DHC, zolpidem, morning-after-pills, viagra, etc plus the people who like their conventional meds for their heart or diabetes delivered. Serving the UK is legal and relatively hassle-free, shipping outside the UK (for the medicines that keep them in business) invites trouble. There's no real incentive to engineer the website for the overseas customer ordering aspirin or benadryl because that customer doesn't really exist. It's all set up with domestic pain-relief (or ED or pregnancy or baldness) in mind. Putting aspirin on sale is just an afterthought.
