Buying Simvastatin online
30 Answers
Does anyone buy Simvastatin online, and if so, which company do you use. I am currently paying £7.65 a month as my doctor will only prescribe one month at a time, but this is going to be costly. Thanks in advance.

Also if you buy on line do you really know what is in the tablets you are buying, there are Companies on the Web that sell all kinds of tablets from different parts of the world, my advice stick to what your doctor subscribes. Never buy tablets on line from a Company you have never heard of.
Normal prescription is for 8 weeks (56days). Ask your GP why you only have one month. Maybe he is trying out different drugs but as you say this costs you money. I remember when it used to be 3 months. It was changed to 2 to save costs. An enormous number of people pay nothing. I or 2 months is hardly going to save the NHS or is dangerous to you either.
sqad i am surprised at your reply. You are constantly (rightly) telling us how the NHS has no money. The drugs budget for my (very small) county last year was 56million pounds. The PCTs instruct gps to prescibe a month at a time. That way the NHS gets 12x £7.56 per year instead of 1x £7.56 a year. When you think of the number of people who are on Simvastatin, it makes good economic sense for the GP to prescribe 1 month's worth at a time. OK so simvastatin is actually about 7x cheaper than that but hey ho!
