Ensuring Your Pharmacy Has the Right Medication for Your Treatment

Ensuring Your Pharmacy Has the Right Medication for Your Treatment

The database of medications we pull from to create your Treatment Recommendation includes the most commonly prescribed and dispensed brands used in gender-affirming healthcare.

However, we understand there may be some medications unavailable in certain localities. In these rare instances, you may need to book a Doctor's Consultation to find the best solution for your area.

If your pharmacy doesn't have the medication in stock, we understand it can be frustrating, but unfortunately, we can't influence the pharmacy's stock control.

Here’s what you can do:
  1. Check the country supply: Not all brands of medication are available in every country, make sure you are choosing one that is available in your country.
  2. Contact another pharmacy: Many pharmacies can order medications quickly, so checking with another pharmacy nearby might be an option.
  3. Request a new Treatment Recommendation: If you need a new prescription due to stock issues, simply submit a new Treatment Recommendation request through our platform.

Q&A


Q: Does GenderGP recommend any medication available in any country?


A: GenderGP cannot know all the medication types available in every country, so it’s important to check with your pharmacy to ensure they stock the medication you’re choosing before making your Treatment Recommendation  request.


Q: What should I do if my pharmacy doesn’t have the recommended medication?


A: If your pharmacy doesn’t have the medication recommended in your Treatment Recommendation, you can submit another request and choose a different brand or formulation. You can also book a doctor consultation for more personalised advice.


Q: Can I change the medication type or brand after receiving a Treatment Recommendation?


A: Yes, if your pharmacy doesn’t carry the medication brand or type in your Treatment Recommendation, you can easily submit a new request to update it with alternatives that are available in your country.


Ensuring Your Pharmacy Has the Right Medication


At GenderGP, we strive to provide you with the best possible care, including recommending medications suited to your treatment goals. However, due to the vast differences in available medications across countries, it’s essential for members to check their local pharmacy for availability before submitting Treatment Recommendation requests.


Here are a few important points to keep in mind:


1. Check with Your Pharmacy First


Before submitting your Treatment Recommendation  request, make sure your chosen pharmacy carries the medication and brand you’ve selecting on the form. Pharmacy stock varies by location, and what might be commonly available in one country may not be in another. Checking availability helps prevent unnecessary delays in your treatment.


2. If Your Pharmacy Doesn’t Stock It, Request an Update


If you discover that the medication recommended in your Treatment Recommendation isn’t available at your pharmacy, don’t worry! Simply submit another request to have your recommendation updated with an alternative. We understand that the process can sometimes involve trial and error, and we are here to help ensure you get what you need.


3. Need Help? Book a Doctor Consultation


If you’re unsure about which alternative medication to choose or need more tailored advice for your situation, you can always book a consultation with a  Directory doctor. They are there to provide personalised recommendations, ensuring that your treatment is as effective and seamless as possible.


4. Stay Proactive with Your Treatment


GenderGP encourages all members to be proactive when it comes to their healthcare. Ensuring that your pharmacy can supply the medication you need is an important part of managing your transition. Regularly checking in with your pharmacy and keeping open communication will make your treatment journey smoother.


Conclusion


While GenderGP strives to make recommendations that fit your treatment goals, the availability of specific medications depends on your local pharmacy. Always verify the availability of your chosen medications before making a request. And if changes are needed, submitting a new request or consulting with a doctor is simple and easy. We are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
