Changing suppliers (Mounjaro)

Been on MJ a month, just received my second pen from Voy and gone up to 5mg. Some may have seen my thread last week about how I'm finding the 'lifestyle counselling' a bit extra. Plus they don't seem the cheapest, so I'm considering cancelling my subscription and switching to a different supplier.

I'm just wondering how the logistics of this work? Presumably I'd need to go through the whole online consultation/assessment thing again with new supplier, submit photos again, etc? Not that that's necessarily a big deal, but I'm also wondering now I've gone up to 5mg whether it's going to be a problem getting a new supplier to start me on 5mg off the bat or whether I'd have to go back to 2.5 (given that presumably Voy aren't going to share their data on me, so there's no way of 'proving' to new supplier that I've already done a month on 2.5)?

Probably asking stupid questions here 😄but if anyone else has switched supplier part way through the course I'd be interested to know if there's anything I should bear in mind. TIA...

Most supplier are happy for you to switch over with a photo of your last prescription. Either a photo of the pharmacy label or screenshot of order.

You will need to do the consultation, which isn't a huge problem really. A handful of questions and a couple of photo's usually

You just add a photo of your previous prescription along with all the other evidence they ask for in consultation. I send a photo of the label on box from previous order

I just changed from one to another. I just filled in the form, ticked to say I had had MJ before and what dose. Then it asked me if I want to stay at the dose or go up. Then asked me to attach proof of my last prescription.

I took a photo of the sticker in the box, with my name, dosage etc on. It was approved within an hour and I got it the next day.

I moved from Superdrug to MedExpress, very easy to do. Just filled in a few details and had to upload a photo of me, photo ID and a photo of MJ box label.

Great, sounds straightforward enough. Thanks all 🙂

If it’s MedExpress they will contact GP

I’m not sure. I’ve gone from Superdrug to MedExpress and just ordered from IQ Doc today. Will be going back to MedExpress for the next pen!

I forgot to update. I ended up going with Zava, they wanted photos which was fine, and they initially also said they needed proof of previous purchase of MJ but they ended up approving my order without my needing to supply this.

What week did everyone apply to the new supplier? I'm heading to jab 3 on Saturday.

Definitely do it at least around a week before you need the next pen if not a tad sooner. That way, if you need to submit any additional info, or there is a delay approving your prescription or simply it is somewhere with courier, you still have time for your next dose. Some suppliers seem to have a backlog, some seem to manage. There seems to be ever increasing interest with more and more people hoping to lose weight after Christmas 🎄.

When I was coming up to my second pen being used up. My order came through pretty fast once I'd completed the application process.

Well done! No need to waste money with suppliers that charge premium!
