Several years back I used Taiwan, Mexico, and India as a base for meds, even those I had prescriptions for. Eventually the U.S. Gov convinced Taiwan and Mexico to close all their med shipments to the U.S. This left only India unless I wanted to expand to Turkey or Russia which I did not. Again my suppliers in India stopped shipping to the U.S. That is the legit pharmaceutical companies.
You can probably guess where this is going. Only the cons were left shipping. I got stung twice before I decided no more. I'm fortunate as my meds are by prescription and I found Costco Pharmacy has even lower prices than what I was getting overseas. Walmart, Walgreen, aren't that competitive but they are handy for small or short term.
So far I haven't gave you any info which will help your grandson. But beware a lot of the pharmacies who will ship without prescriptions charge four to ten times the prescription price. You might end up biting the bullet if you can't get a legal decent pharmacy. Just stay away from India. I knew what I was doing and still got snake bit. I believe I contacted over thirty pharmacies there and to a single one not a one knew what sublingual meant. Which meant they were a scam.
Let's see if we can get your grandson real support. Sweden, Norway, and the other European countries used to be a whole lot more open minded about trans. If I say over thirty years ago am I telling my age? Check and see if that's an option as you did say your grandson lived in England did you not? Hormone blockers are legit and England has a socialist medical care.
If you will contact me via private message I will send you a long list of pharmacies which do not require a prescription. Be aware most are damn expensive compared to prescription meds. I will not post that list openly on this forum. I toss in a disclaimer here. Your grandson is his own best doctor if he's not being monitored by a physician. Taking hormones is not like taking aspirin and can be very very dangerous health wise. Does he even understand the dosage he's looking for? This is not for someone who hasn't spent years looking at all the side effects possible. Supposedly there are "safe levels". Ha! Look at all those who have been on hormones for years and most don't live to a truly ripe old age. It's a hell of a price to pay to find some relief inside that boy-girl mix master we are born with.
God, have I been at this so long I look back when prescriptions were a given and all one had to do was ask their doctor?
hugs hon, I pray you find that which you seek
