Neocate scripts

Just a few questions..
Our specialist said he would apply for a special authority number so we could get neocate advance more cheaply through the pharmacy. That was nine days ago and we've received nothing in the post. We have virtually run out of the sample tins we were given. My questions are;
-how long does it usually take for SA to come through?
-Do you just take the SA letter to any pharmacy when it arrives?

You can get your GP to ring up and chase it up, especially since u are running out. It can take several weeks, but we managed to get the number over the phone (well the GP did) before the letter was sent. You then just tell the chemist the number.
I pays to find out if your chemist keeps any cans in stock- a lot of pharmacies dont, but if u lucky they might order some in for you before u have the number, so u at least can get it form them as soon as u have your number. Otherwise u may have to wait and day or 2 for the pharmacy to order it in.

Aslo u can ring nutricia and tell them u are waiting for the special authority number etc,..they sent us a can out for free when we were desperate waiting for Islas SA to come through.

ETA- yep that was the 0800 number I was thinking of.

Just got an answering machine with the 0800 number, so I rang the specialist clinic and they've put two tins aside for me
