Sourcing the injections

Hi I have done my background research and trawled through the threads on here. Have decided to try Mounjaro. How do I decided where to get it from? Do some websites have shortages. How soon do I order the next injection and how long will it take to arrive. Keep hearing about referrals. How do these work? Do people buy from one provider or shop around each month to get the cheapest? Sorry, so many questions. Hoping some one can navigate me through this minefield.

How do I decided where to get it from?

You just choose based on what's important to you (Be mindful of those who'll come peddling their discount codes for specific providers or their favourite popular tik tok-marketing provider because they're a fan of some sort).

Most pharmacies offer general access to their pharmacists if you have questions. They're always there to help.
Some pharmacies (Voy, Numan, etc) offer extra services like personal coaching, etc. They use subscription-based payment plan that you can cancel at any time.

Many pharmacies (Pharmulous, Cloud, etc) now accept long term maintenance without any limit and you can talk about it with them at any time but only one provider (Oushk) so far requires a paid consultation to talk about maintenance plans.

There are websites that list lots of pharmacies and providers where you can get them. They also have general discount codes on some. You simply choose and research the provider. If you like what you hear about them, you go for them.

Here are the websites:

Do some websites have shortages.

Some have delays especially the popular ones (like Medexpress) due to a high demand but no shortages anywhere at this time.

How soon do I order the next injection and how long will it take to arrive.

You can order at anytime. Some pharmacies will remind you via email about 2 or 3 weeks in. The subscription-based ones will send you the next dose automatically unless you let them know which dose you want to stay on or you cancel the automatic prescription. But you can order yourself about 3 weeks in when you're sure which dose you want to stay on.

Keep hearing about referrals. How do these work?

It's for referral codes to get discounts. There is a thread where you can post your codes and also get other peoples codes. It's not allowed to post your code on any other thread besides this and mnhq will remove posts that do. Most discount codes are for first time orders only. That's why some people shop around to take advantage of first time order discounts.

Do people buy from one provider or shop around each month to get the cheapest?

Some people stick to one provider. Some people shop around to get the benefit of the first time order discount from the providers offering them.

Hello - there’s a whole thread on here with people’s referral codes. But best place to look is one of the websites that collates all current prices and key details like reviews: I looked at Miss Mounjaro but there is also Monj

for what it’s worth (no referral code to offer so no skin in the game) I started with Voy (quite pricey but helpful coaching) then switched to Oushk after one month. It’s easy to move suppliers until your BMI gets well below 30.

I’ve used Medexpress and I’ve had no issues! Fast delivery and really quick decision. If you want to start I’ve got a £40 off code which I know people are peddling online but it makes a big difference.
Being 45 and perimenopausal, it’s helped my lost two stone in two months which I would have never done on slimming world or WW. Good luck if you decide to.

I can recommend The Family Chemists ( no codes, so nothing to gain). They've always been reliable for me, and fairly priced too.

I've ordered twice from Med Express, and both times it came within 2 days so no complaints.

@Welshdragon11 do not post codes on threads. Only allowed on the MNHQ codes thread

I have ordered from Superdrug online and now Voy and never had any issues with them.
