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 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
