i have finally plucked up the courage to start but Voy have turned me down as I am epileptic. Can anyone recommend a company that won’t turn me down for being epileptic?

I don’t think you can take the weight loss medications if you’re epileptic as my husband is ineligible for the same reason

I would try one of the doctor led pharmacies and have a video or phone consultation with them so so you talk it through. So perhaps Pharmulous or Swift Doctor. Oushk can also be helpful with individual cases, I’ve heard.

its not the epilepsy itself, but the possible effect on the absorption of medication for epilepsy, is my understanding of why it might be an issue for some prescribers.

I have epilepsy and, after first discussing with my GP, have so far received prescriptions from Morrisons, Simple Online Pharmacy, Pharmacy 2U, Bolt and from my local pharmacy.

That’s good to hear. I tried talking to my gp about it but they just said as i have to pay you need to discuss this with my provider.
