    If you were given the actual prescription, rather than the GP himself obtaining the medicine then selling it to you, you would see the price of it when you bought it yourself from a chemist.

    With a real private prescription paper in your hand, you're paying the exact cost of the actual medicine in the free market (such as it is, messed up by the NHS £8 presciption fee, which creates a completely non transparent public/private partnership monopoly sometimes for big pharma). Obviously, patented meds can cost a lot, especially when they are cosmetic, like propecia (was £50 for 28x1mg in the uk on private prescription).

    Still makes me angry how government can be used by big pharma to fork finasteride off into two seperate licensed brands prop and proscar, with seperate licenses for use. You literally pay 5 times as much for 5 times less mg's, simply because MPB is 'cosmetic'. All while some mixed up teenager gets a sex change for free

    I didn't have time for unnecessary trips to the doc. So I got it online.
