Scenarios

Ms G has been using Gina for three months. Her symptoms have improved and she is now able to ride her bike again. When going through the Pharmacy Checklist, she tells you that since she purchased her last pack, she had a problem with one of her legs and has been told that she has a blood clot.

Can you supply Gina?

Mrs F asks if she would be suitable for Gina. Her GP has been prescribing intravaginal oestrogen creams for the past 6 months to manage her VA symptoms. She is happy with the symptom improvement she has experienced but she finds it difficult to take time off of work to go to her GP. She thinks that getting a similar product from pharmacy will be more convenient for her. She tells you that she is 60 years old and her last period was well over 5 years ago. There have been no changes to her or her family's health status since her last prescription and she has no contraindications to Gina.
