What are the steps to follow if I need to change my prescription?
If you’d like to make changes to your prescription, please submit a new Treatment Recommendation request and provide us with details of your current medication, medical history, and preferences.
If you’re looking to increase your dosage or add cyproterone/spironolactone, please upload the required blood test results within the form.
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).
When you have your results, please submit them in the Treatment Recommendation form for analysis.
