Sorry to hear this Daisydot. The thing is it's not as though you are asking for something that is not licensed so there is no reason not to prescribe you the cream. On NHS I get Estradot patches, Utrogestan, Vagifem and estriol cream 0.01% - I've never gone privately (except for testosterone which does not currently have a licensed product for women, and is understandably, although regrettably hit and miss re prescription), so if I can then everyone should - it should not be down to induividual discretion if there is no medical reasomn why not - even though you went to a private consultant in the first place. If they won't prescribe it then ask them to refer you to an NHS menopause consultant who will - this is also your right if they are not knowledgeable enough. I'm fuming on your behalf!!!
