Details of the Request
I have these bad hands with cracks on and have heard of a new pill called Toctino that can help through the papers and found more info on NHS NICE website using yahoo.
I have been asking my GP where I could ask for the pill and found hospitals should be able to give it to me and fix my hands. The papers say different areas have different pills they can give depending on their charts called formularys I think?
Please can you let me know if Toctino, also known as alitretinoin, have the pill on their Ashford and St Peters hospital formulary lists and have it available to give to patients funded like the NICE website says.
Then I will know where to go and get it if I can. |
