This website is designed to support you, and your carers, with your treatment and is not a substitute for the Uzpruvo 45mg Package Leaflet or Uzpruvo 90mg Package Leaflet that came with your medication.
Instructions for reporting side effects are in the footer of this page
Uzpruvo homecare simply means that your medicine will be delivered directly to you. This can be to your home address or to another address, if that fits in better with your lifestyle. The advantage of Uzpruvo homecare is that you won’t need to wait for your medicine to be dispensed and there is no need to carry it home with you from the pharmacy.
Your doctor will send your Uzpruvo prescription directly to a specialist homecare company. Once registered for Uzpruvo Homecare, the homecare company will contact you to arrange a convenient time and place to deliver the medicine, as well as training if it’s your first time using it.
The Uzpruvo Homecare Service is only for the supply of your medicine. You should still attend any clinic appointments you have booked. Delivery usually happens when you have about two weeks of medicine left, ensuring you never run out.
The health professional responsible for your care will discuss Uzpruvo homecare with you and will check if homecare is the right service for your particular needs.
You will need to have a phone, which can either be a mobile or a landline. This is so the homecare team can contact you about delivery of your medicine. There is a registration form which you will need to fill in and your health professional will help you to do this.
Your consent will be required for sharing your details with the homecare company. This is necessary so they can organise an account for you and start delivering Uzpruvo.
Once you join the Uzpruvo Homecare Service, it will take no more than 5 working days between each step.
The Uzpruvo Homecare Service allocated to you will depend on who has prescribed your treatment, but the three key companies who support this service are:

Phone: 0800 083 3060
www.lpclinicalhomecare.co.uk
Phone: 0345 263 6123

Phone: 0345 263 6135
(Northern Ireland and Scotland)
www.sciensus.com
Phone: 0333 1039 499
You will receive your medication and a booklet explaining how this homecare service works. You will also receive a booklet which explains how to administer Uzpruvo and provides some information about the condition for which Uzpruvo has been prescribed.
You’ll also receive training to help you administer Uzpruvo from the homcare provider’s nurse team. You can choose from virtual, telephone or face-to-face training.
If you decide homecare isn’t for you, you can cancel anytime – it won’t affect your medical care. Just let your healthcare professional know. They’ll arrange for you to collect Uzpruvo prescriptions from an alternative pharmacy.
