A knuckle dragger was supposed to be a caveman or a primitive human not an ape.

Sir

Careful mis-spelling dagger like that you-know-who-is-on one tonight.?

Vegans.....is that a pic of Ed Balls that you posted upthread?
He seems to be everywhere these days.?

You really are out of your depth ananimous. Of course there are meds issues, not only with supply of common drugs. I'm too tired and have other things to do before I go to bed, so I'm not going to write an essay. However, pharma is an important component of the British economy (much more important than fishing) and is really facing some serious problems.

PS. Prosecco is still cheap (so I've heard), so take advantage of it while you can.

I know exactly who’s on one tonight with her dence comment

Will you please excuse me but HOW can you be Independent when you are still part of the "United kingdom" THAT is a union (for now) so you are legally tied to 3 other nations at least one of which wants out .As witnessed across Scotland we would much rather be a part of the EU who only apply 5% of rules /laws instead of Westminster who have around 80% of powers over us .

I think you need to do more anthropological research.

Interesting...do you have a link to this key anthropological research?

Wow, so much vitriol, so much xenophobia
So much fucking ignorance

No meds issue.

So much swearing...

Oh and just wanted to say, that the jingoism is quite astonishing
AND, leave Maw Broon alone, she's a good un

ananimous - the official government advice for a shortage of epilepsy meds is to brand swap. YOU CANNOT SAFELY BRAND SWAP EPILEPSY MEDS

I don’t know how to make that more simple to understand.

If Johnson manages a deal the supply will be less likely to be affected than in the event of no deal. But currently we have no way of knowing. If you don’t have to worry about it lucky for you.

BTW there are lots of meds that cannot be stockpiled. I’m just relieved my son is no longer on liquid only meds as they were always having interrupted supplies because of short shelf lives. You can’t stockpile isotopes used for cancer treatment either

I believe Scotland should have the right to leave the union as the UK did to leave the EU.

I don't think there is the appetite in Scotland to leave though - polls say 95% Scots are happy in the union. Plus they are too poor for the EU to take them on.

The Government has also confirmed that epilepsy medicines will be exempt from its serious shortage protocol. This will give pharmacists power to dispense alternative drugs if those prescribed by GPs are in short supply at any time, including during the possibility of a 'no-deal Brexit' scenario after Britain leaves the EU

Except brand swapping a lot of epilepsy meds increases the risk of seizures.

Notice I am not raising concerns about the other meds my son takes. Epilepsy meds are different.

You might want to link to something a bit more up to date than that six year old article and get your percentages correct if you want to be taken half seriously.

? it's a word, it's just a word. ..
I haven't voted for a right wing government, where children are hungry
I haven't voted to see young people sleeping on the streets
You could do worse than to use that word, you know, you could vote Tory
Still laughing at 'potty mouth'

So, does this mean that an epileptic would never be able to emigrate or if the medicines efficacy altered would have to stay on the same brand?
What would happen if there was a worldwide shortage of that particular brand as is currently occurring with some HRT?

I believe there will be no shortage - so do not think you should worry, though I understand it is hard not to.

I doubt Scottish opinion in 2014 has any relevance to today. I’m sure Scotland would be off if they get Indy ref2 & Northern Ireland (although that will be messy )

Joelsnan - it would mean some people with epilepsy (I haven’t met many who like being called ‘an epileptic) would have seizures when they swap meds and some would die from those seizures.

Exactly my thoughts Joels
Some meds supply has always been a problem it turns out
