It would be difficult to validate the authenticity of the prescription and the prescriber. Also, there are language issues if there are any queries. UK Nardil is a fridge line which presents problems with transporting the medication at the correct temperature.

It reminded me of this situation, so I thought I might post it. I have seen pharmacists (or rather the one of one pharmacist where I asked) willing to accept foreign prescriptions, though he recommended me to get a local doctor for the longer term.
