So if you are a student from the UK you would need to have health insurance, travel or pay privately, which can be very costly. A more straight-forward alternative is to continue getting your drugs prescribed in the UK from your regular doctor. This would mean making several trips home each year, and would only work for a short time.<\/p>\n
Another possibility is that your university either in the UK or the US may provide health insurance to cover this.<\/p>\n
