How do I get an increase in my medication?
Every three months, or sooner if you require, you can have your Treatment Recommendation reviewed.
Simply submit your information with some up-to-date blood tests so we can make sure it's safe to increase your dosage. If it's safe to do so, we will optimise your recommendation for you.
Note: To use the finger prick test, you need to be 16 or older and not taking spironolactone. Vitall, the service provider, will send your blood test results directly to your email address.
If you're taking spironolactone, you'll need an intravenous blood sample. You can get this through an online blood test service of your choosing, through your GP if they're willing to help, or at a private clinic/hospital.
If you need a Blood Test Referral Letter to advise your GP or healthcare provider, you can purchase one through the Treatment Recommendation form for £20. The letter explains why you need blood tests and which ones you'll need to get (read more here: Obtaining Letters and Reports).
