eliveries can be made to your home or a more convenient place as long as somebody is able to sign for the medications.
Please note:
- Prescriptions are not automatically generated- they MUST be requested from the hospital pharmacist and not Lloyds.
- Deliveries take at least 5 WORKING days so please ensure you have 2-3 weeks supply left when ordering.
Obtaining immunosuppression:
NHS England has determined that supply of immunosuppressant medication should be from the hospital’s transplant clinic rather than the GP surgeries. This Includes:
- Tacrolimus (Adoport, Prograf, Advagraf and Envarsus).
- Ciclosporin (Neoral).
- Sirolimus (Rapamune).
- Mycophenolate Mofetil.
- Mycophenolic Acid (Ceptava, Myfortic).
- Azathioprine
- Prednisolone.
- Valganciclovir.
Further supply should be obtained in clinic by speaking to the clinic based pharmacist, often in room 10 on clinic days. You can either collect your medications from the hospital or home deliveries can be organised.
Please ensure before each appointment you have enough medication to last until the next appointment
