Medicines that are licenced elsewhere but not in Ireland?

    There is one in particular that I'm interested in, won't mention the name. Look it is available on the Internet and I'd like to have a consultation with a doctor as to my suitability but it's very difficult to do this if it isn't licenced here and he could hardly supervise my usage if it isn't available here?. I wouldn't like to take it without supervision and probably won't. It isn't a wacky substance, actually quite a normal product, just not licenced here. Any advice?

    we cant really give you much advice here other than discuss it with your doctor

    buying meds online here is illegal

    some GPs will prescribe something thats not licenced here if its licenced in england or elsewhere. afaik, the pharmacy will then get it for you

    lastle, you may not need that particular drug, or there may be a suitable alternative more readily availale

    you really need to see your gp
