    The places you've called are right, your girlfriend will have to go in and get it herself. If your girlfriend is unable to go in and get it, maybe one of her girlfriends, women siblings etc could go in and get it. But she really would need to go in herself so they can get the information needed to make sure it will be safe/suitable for the person to take.

    Goodluck.

    I don't think anywhere will give it to you as they have to discuss it with the patient, take blood pressure and history. Sorry!

    She's with her mam in hospital and we don't want any1 to know,I know she could track down a nurse but she's scared of her mam knowing,iv rang everywhere and the answer always seems to be the same!

    You should be aware it's more effective the sooner it's taken, so regardless of not wanting other people to know, it is important that she get herself to a doctor ASAP

    The MAP is prescription medication - so your girlfriend has to go in and get it herself (the doctor will need to ascertain that your girlfriend is in fit condition to take the medication). Sending in another female is a bit wrong.

    Boots are apparently going to start supplying it without a prescription this week. A bit late for you but handy for future reference.

    Thanks for all the help and advice people,she was able to track down a nurse and we got sorted!disaster over(hopefully) we were late getting it but there's still an 85% chance the pill will work even tho it was taken later than when we hoped it would be,but again thanks for all your help!
