Getting TRT prescribed abroad

[AgentOrange]

If you get TRT prescribed while you're living abroad say USA, UK or Asia. Would that prescription be honoured if you decided to return to NZ? Or would you haver to go through the entire process again?

Ok just to clarify what I mean is.... If you're on TRT then you move to NZ are doctors here likely to say "ok you've seen a doctor already, we'll just continue your treatment"

 

or are they likely to want have you come off, and go through the blood testing procedure again?

 

Reason I ask, is it sounds as though there might be more willing to prescribe doctors overseas if I decide to ever go on TRT

I don't think overseas prescriptions count for much here. Whether that would mean the doc makes you come off, take bloods, and start from scratch, I don't know. Being "pre-approved" overseas might make the process here a little easier, but it wouldn't be an automatic transfer.
