Answers:

It's only available on prescription and I don't know why your Dr. won't prescribe it, unless it is because of the cost? I would maybe try another Dr. at your Practice if you are able to. I work in a Pharmacy and the feedback I have had is that it works really well for people who have tried other ways to give up. So keep perservering and I hope you are able to get it prescribed soon.

Have done some research as to the cost and it is quite a bit more than the £50. Here are some rough figures for you:-

2 week starter pack = £87.95
2 week refill pack = £87.95
1 month starter pack = £139.95
1 month refill pack = £139.95
Cost of full course = £335.00

It is expensive but I suppose cheaper than buying cigarettes long-term. I'm sure your Dr. would prescribe if you asked him to out it on a private prescription. For exact prices you could ask your Pharmacy what they would charge if you brought in a private script.

Hope this has helped.
