Getting to a pharmacy in Mid Ulster
Three market towns anchor this district, Dungannon in the south, Cookstown in the middle and Magherafelt in the north. Lough Neagh forms the eastern edge, and the Sperrin Mountains rise in the north west. Much of the area is farmland with dispersed housing.
Mid Ulster has no railway, so people in outlying villages usually drive to Dungannon, Cookstown or Magherafelt to collect in person.
Much of Mid Ulster is rural, so the nearest pharmacy offering private weight-loss treatment may be a long way off. Online delivery saves the trip, but ask how long delivery takes to your postcode and whether a courier charges extra.
Find a pharmacy in Mid Ulster
Use the HSC service finder for local community pharmacies, then ask about the private service you want. Before you shortlist an online provider, confirm it delivers your medicine to Northern Ireland addresses. A UK website alone does not prove that.

Paying for a private prescription in Northern Ireland
NHS prescriptions are free in Northern Ireland. A private weight-loss prescription is not covered, so you pay the private price in full wherever you collect or order.
Every pharmacy you use, local or online, must be registered. Check the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (PSNI) before you pay. Our provider checks guide lists what else to look for.
Moving from a local pharmacy in Mid Ulster
Buying your first supply locally does not tie you to that pharmacy. An online or another local prescriber can assess you as an existing patient. Ask what evidence it needs, whether the assessment costs extra and what happens if it cannot prescribe your current treatment.
Photograph the original dispensing label on your pen carton or tablet box and write down the date of your last dose. Read what loyalty to one pharmacy costs and how to ask your local pharmacy for a better price before you decide.
