Hi. I'm here visiting and have no insurance

Where can I buy Metaformin best price?

Saw online £19.95 168 x 500mg is that good?

Thanks
 
Do you mean you’re an Australian visiting the U.K.? If so Metformin is a prescription only drug here, you cannot just buy it over the counter. If you’ve found it on line I’m guessing it’s a non U.K. site or it’s a U.K. pharmacy that’ll still need a prescription.

I know. Had a bag stolen with all my meds. Prescription not a problem. Just where best price? As will have to pay out of pocket
 
if you have a script take it to any chemist metformin should be about 6 pence a tablet its dirt cheap

Oh no! A U.K. prescription charge is £8.40 so the price you’ve got doesn’t seem bad.
 
we have a reciprocal agreement with Australia so any health care should be free.
