Hi, can you please provide some advice on whether Complan would be available on prescription in the UK. My mum has T4 lung cancer and is struggling to eat, she has lost weight but these shakes are expensive.
Thanks you

Hi, sorry to hear your Mum is going through this. My Mum is too. She is prescribed ensures ( she said these are nicer than complan) twice a day so definitely speak to the GP. Wishing you all the best x
Thank you for taking the time to respond, I will try and get an appointment with the doctor. Take care Harley, and my best wishes for your mum x
Hi there and thanks for posting
I am sorry to hear about your mum, this must be a difficult time.
Whilst I can't say if complan is available on prescription there will be other nutritional drinks/supplements that the doctor can prescribe for your mum, so do ask them.
We have some more information about high calorie drinks on our website.
I hope this is helpful. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Best wishes
Naomi
Thank you Naomi, Our doctor has prescribed the Complan x
