Murray607,

I am glad you asked this question as it has been our mind here in the UK too! When we leave the UK (within a few weeks, yippee) we shall be bringing a 6 month supply to hold us over until we can get a new doctor and prescriptions and even health insurance for that matter so fingers crossed all works well for you and for us! I would of thought if the tablets are in their original boxes, etc and they are prescribed for you then therefore you should be aloud to have them
