GLIVEC short supply at Royal Surrey report
The other view is that the £300,000 is enough money to fund thirty people to have Glivec,As long as patients health doesn't suffer,were all winners
I dont know if anyone has seen it, but there is someone in the UK who is (dont know if they still are) trying to sell Glivec on Ebay, item no. 120546960348. with a starting bid of .99p. I sent them a question pointing out that this was a very dangerous medicine in the wrong hands and asked them if they new what it was for and how they came by it. Obviously they did not send me a reply. It was someone in Reading that went by the name of "Your.beauty.bargains". The other items they were selling were shampoo and toiletries. I wouldn't like to think that one of us patients were profetiering from the NHS when this drug is in so expensive and in short supply.
I've just looked and its been removed now.
I have unused Glivec,and its of no use to me or any body because once its been prescribed to a patient it cant be recycled into the system,any one else with spare supplys.
