Champix in Northern Ireland

Senna · 2017-06-20 19:50:37

Just wondering, if I have a prescription for Champix from my doctor in the south, can I get it filled in the north for cheaper than the €90+ a month it is down here?

Hi Senna ,
As long as you have a prescription from a doctor in the south they will supply the medication in the north.

But you won't avail of http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/schemes/drugspaymentscheme/
As for the drug itself, it does work, but beware of side effects. I experienced nausea and strange dreams (so strange that I can't really describe them more that that). Unfortunately, after you complete the treatment, you may be temped to puff one, just one, just one time. Don't.
