    HI I am planning on travelling to prague for IVF treatment. The clninc there have sent me a prescription for the drugs i need to start taking on my cycle day 2. I thought i could get these drugs easliy through our drug payment scheme but my pharmacy rang the HSe and was told I need a hi tech prescription to be written by a fertility clinic here in ireland. like sims, etc, but sims said they would not do this as im not having treamtent with them.
    Another pharmacy told me a gp could overwirte the prague prescription, but the gp i talked to said regualr gp's cannot write hi tech prescription.
    so i dont know where to start to get my drugs.
    Iv heard alot of people are travelling abroad for ivf now due to costs so id like some advise on where people are getting there drugs from? and has the drugs payment sheme covered them? and did they need to get a special Hi tech prescription, if so who wrote it?
