    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone know if it's possible to fill a ROI perscription in Northern Ireland and if so it their prices are cheaper. I'm looking to get some malaria tablets and heard that it is much cheaper up north.
    Thanks

    There may be an issue with the pharmacist not knowing the doctor and not issuing it.

    There may be separate technical issues - is the product available in the UK, is it under the same name and dosages there, etc.

    You may find that the cost of travel may outstrip any potential saving.

    you will have no problem getting it filled but its only cheaper if you are a resident. otherwise it will be sold as a private prescription and won't necessarily be any cheaper.

    Why not call up a pharmacy and ask them their prices?
    I have done it in the past. Had no problems, and the meds were almost half what I was quoted down here.
