xiidra in UK

[Shell259]

hi,
I’ve been told I’ll probably start on ikervis soon, I have been doing research and I’m interested in trying xiidra but am in the UK.
Has anyone in the UK managed to get this or is it just not possible at this time?

I asked my Dr (who would happily put me on it if available), but he said it would not be legal for him to prescribe.

It has been going through the approval process at the European Medical Agency for just over year.

You can come to Canada or the USA , get a prescription , get it filled and bring it back to UK . I know its not pretty , but thats sometimes the cost of getting the healthcare you need : )
