GP refusing to supplyspecific pill previously prescribed

[Stupidlyannoyed]

DD has significant period problems (bleeding for 9 months)

We eventually went private as the NHS did nothing - literally nothing, a scan then "nothing is wrong you are just unfortunate"

Private consultant prescribed a particular pill (after 4 lots of medication to stop the bleeding)

We had a prescription from the GP which the chemist made us pay for as "contraception" hadn't been written on the script and when she went to get a repeat she was refused - as it's too expensive

Can we do anything?

If this one works she is loathed to change it - constant bleeding is a nightmare!
At the time of being released Zoely cost the NHS £16.50 for 3 months whereas Microgynon costs £2.82 for 3 months.

This may well be why so many CCGs have decided to BLACK or DOUBLE RED list this particular pill.

If you can get them for your DD for £40, then I would definitely buy them.
