This prescription pack is a 30g tube, twice the size of the 15g pharmacy (P) pack. At Ways Pharmacy it is supplied only after a pharmacist has assessed your skin and confirmed that it is appropriate for the area and the severity of the flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to access this medicine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/app.nymoclinic.co.uk\/public\/pgd-book\/ways-pharmacy-holborn\/de6c7a3c-d8f0-4dcf-9cc7-0a5cd57daf8a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your free online assessment.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Answer the health questions online and confirm your identity (upload photo ID, or show it on a video call).
