The drug in question was suggested to me by a former GP who now works in the alternative medication field. They are for pain relief brought on by poor circulation (diabetes) and I would like to give them a try.

in quite alot of remedies the "active" ingredient in Homopathic solutions is diluted
and can be diluted to 0.00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 00001 (10^-30 or ten to the minus 30 power) of its original strength.
more than total number of atoms in the universe

NHS regard Homeopathy as quackery so my guess would be no!
And that guy selling magic beans on the way home ....... Turns out they're Jelly Babies!
Worst two cows I ever spent!!

'Cos I haven't got much money and 'scripts are free.....
There are a couple of things but main one is Heel BHI Lymphomyosot Oral Drops, 1.6 fl oz (50ml). Also Vitamin B-50 Complex tablets. Lamberts were suggested as a good source.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, David

The nhs won't give you that.
I'd be surprised if your GP can prescribe that sort of stuff and IF they can, it'd be a private prescription, so you basically pay however much the stuff costs (which being 'homeopathic' will be a lot probably) plus whatever mark-up the pharmacy would put on it.
In 7years of working in high street pharmacies and a hospital, I've only dealt with one 'alternate medication', and it was for cancer.
If you do get hold of a prescription, and go into a high street pharmacy you'll probably have to find a supplier yourself, and ask a pharmacy if they'll order for you because they won't have a clue.

I've edited this after reading a bit more.
Lymphomyosot, as the name suggest, targets the lymphatic system, and they reckon that can reduce the swelling from poor circulation.
If you are diabetic, has your GP not already you on appropriate medication?
Also, the pain is usually neuropathy, is it not? Which, being damage to the nerves, will not be resolved by that lymphomyosot.
Have you seen what's in it?
I'm always cynical/skeptical on this sort of things, but it sounds like someone dug up a load of weeds out the garden.
