Second pass at: Pharmacy supply in the UK and the questions you will be asked Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.
Asking about Pharmacy supply on behalf of the question I keep seeing asked badly, including by me.
Framed properly it is answerable. Framed the usual way it is not, and that is most of why the previous threads went nowhere.
Post #12 describes the usual case. This is about the unusual one.
Where the compound is supplied with a device, the device and the compound have separate availability positions and the device is more often the constraint.
I read post #16 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
Answering the Pharmacy supply question as asked, then the question I think is meant. As asked: yes, with the qualification below. As meant: it depends on how the first measurement was taken.
I read post #25 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
Where guidance distinguishes between indications, quoting the indication is essential. The same compound has different positions under different indications.
The question underneath Pharmacy supply is usually "how would I tell?" rather than "what is true?", and that one has a method attached to it.
Write down what you would expect to see under each hypothesis before you collect anything. If they predict the same observation, collecting it will not help.
This settles it for me, at least until somebody posts a reason it should not.
