Useful into for UK trans feminine people
Pharmacies in Portugal (verified) and Spain (unverified) will often sell oestrogen HRT over the counter to tourists without a prescription. If you watch Ryanair prices, you could day trip there for £50 or less.
This will likely be cheaper and potentially safer than using an internet pharmacy.
2mg estradiol is readily available in pill form.
@goatsarah How much would a 80g bottle of estrogel or pack of 28 x 2mg estradiol pills be there?
I'd be quite surprised if the cost of travel and cost of medicine together came to less than getting an equivalent amount from an internet pharmacy.
Especially considering most internet pharmacies are fairly competitive with local British vendors on price.
And then homebrew injectables are almost always significantly better value again, although they're marginally less safe for not having been mixed under pharmaceutical conditions (although vials from major providers are periodically tested by Trans Harm Reduction for consistency and purity)
@AFriendlyBeagle Inhousepharmacy have an obscene markup on estradiol. A farmácia in Portugal will sell 28x2 for a few euros.
You also don’t end up with obvious international payments to an online pharmacy on your bank records. I feel like this will become increasingly important.
