For health reasons I want to give up smoking. Are products like Nicorette Gum available on the Medical Card. If so, how much per month, and for what duration
Yes, Gum and patches are available on medical card, You would need to talk to your GP for more details re your personal needs/requirements.
This is a good site with helpful info
Good luck with it!!
I have started on the gum last week, so far so good ! But they are expensive, and I am waiting on a dicision on disability allowance since July.
I have the means test done, and they said they do not require a medical. I call Longford but the can not give any time frame , as they are under staffed
Had a friend use Champix, he had to come off it as he got very depressed. It was quite scary. Another friend said he was given a nicorette inhaler (which is what I use) on a medical card, it's still unused but he got it.
Nicortette is not a prescription drug, its an expensive over the counter product, so the question was clearly a for the SW forum. Howerer can see your general point.
