    So in the past, I've used the Lloyds online doctor to order my pill prescription.
    I even got my blood pressure checked for this one as I get it checked twice yearly.
    I wasn't asked to input the numbers but I was asked for weight and height.
    I have been on same pill for about 9years, and unfortunately have been about the same weight, and height!!!!
    Today I received a message from the doctor stating considering my current weight, it is not considered safe for me to continue taking it and therefore would not be prescribing it for me!!!
    What the actual ****?! :-(

    Ill probably just make an appointment for nurse at GP to take my blood pressure and order repeat prescription now anyway, but it's just a bit more hassle as I've moved!

    Has anyone experience this before??

    At bottom of doctors reply, they went on to suggest mini pill , coil or implant!

    Hi OP

    Medical advice isn't allowed on Boards I'm afraid. As you said, have a chat with your nurse or pop into your pharmacist.

    Best of luck

    Lucy
