We have just heard from B R Pharma that they are now receiving supplies of Strattera™. This will be available to people in the UK under the same conditions as Ritalin SR and ADDerall. What this means is that B R Pharma have received the licence to import the medications but they remain unlicensed as far as Doctors are concerned, i.e. they will not appear on their computer screens as medications available to prescribe. However, Strattera™ will be available to patients on a named patient basis under guidance from a consultant. If you are interested in using Strattera™ you would have to approach the consultant and make sure you can give them information about the medication and ask if they would be willing to prescribe. This means that if you do have a prescription for Strattera™ the Pharmacist will have to fax a photocopy of the original prescription to BR Pharma International on (UK Only) 020 8207 5557 (Tel:020 8207 0770) BR Pharma who will then be able to send this to the Pharmacist by courier the following day

We have also been informed that B R Pharma now have supplies of Concerta™ 27mg and 54mg, Adderall in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg and Adderall XR in 10mg, 20mg and 30mg, Catapres (Clonidine) Patches and Melatonin in 1mg, 3mg and 5mg tablets, which I believe they supply at a cheaper cost than another company who also supply this medication.
More details for ADDerall, Catapres Patches, Concerta™ and Strattera™ can be found by clicking here and for Melatonin by clicking here.
Although we have the details for Melatonin on our Natural Remedies section it is only available in the UK on prescription.
