Most online clinics in the UK do not show prices for prescription medicine. Why is this?
Up until a few weeks ago there was a regulation preventing online clinics displaying their prices. The regulation was in place to stop clinics promoting prescription medicine by price. The regulations have changed.
Online clinics can now display their prices. Price of the medicine can be listed next to the strength and quantities of tablets. This change in the rules is good for patients. Dr Fox prices are 25%-50% less than other clinics. Savings can run into hundreds of pounds for a single prescription item.
Dr Fox has lower costs for some medicines than the same items bought from pharmacies without a prescription. Read in full
The poet WB Yates wrote, Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Some dreams are just that and a little light treading might be in order.
Homeopathy is a system of treatment based on the principle of stimulating healing by administering ultra dilute solutions. In practice the active ingredients of homeopathic remedies are measured in parts per million. A sceptic might say the treatment is not much different from water.
Conventional medicine is known as allopathic. Allopathic treatment is associated with well known problems; side effects, interactions, cost, and for some people, the unnaturalness, are all downsides. The cure can be worse than the disease. Doctors experienced in allopathic treatment live with these concerns. Read in full

Cheryl Cole is reportedly now on the mend after an unpleasant encounter with the highly infectious disease, malaria. The Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge contracted the potentially fatal infection while on a trip to Tanzania, and became seriously ill as a result. Cheryl is one of hundreds of British tourists returning home each year with malaria.
Malaria is a vector-borne disease, transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito. When an infected mosquito bites you, it passes the malaria parasite into your bloodstream. The parasite then makes its way to your liver, where it multiplies before heading back into your bloodstream and invading your red blood cells. Symptoms include fever, shivering, sweating, anaemia, aches and pains, vomiting and diarrhoea. Malaria can kill you.
Malaria is found in many parts of the world, and people should be aware of malaria ‘hotspots’ so they can take steps to protect themselves. Malaria is transmitted in areas of South America, Africa, and Asia. So what can travellers do if they want to avoid ending up in hospital with malaria like Cheryl Cole? Read in full
