Anyone immunocompromised and WLI? I have questions if you don't mind

I have been taking biologic injections 8-weekly for several years due to an auto-immune disease.

A couple of months ago I applied for mounjaro with Cloud pharmacy and was rejected with no reason given, and I suspect it's because I fully disclosed my medical history and regular immunosuppressants.

Has anyone successfully managed to get a prescription while taking immunosuppressants, and if so, from where?

I am 45, 13.5 stone and 5ft 5" and weight keeps going up, I just want to get back to a manageable size as I'm now in the obese category. Thank you for any and all advice.

I’ve been on etanercept injections for 20 years. I have recently started on mounjaro from Boots. Disclosed everything during process, there were some additional questions from dr but they prescribed happily. They are more expensive than some of the others but I wanted to go with a name I knew.

Also on biologics and had no issues with being prescribed MJ by ASDA pharmacy.

Thank you both for your recommendations, I'll apply at either Boots and Asda, such a minefield with so many options.

I was reluctant to apply randomly again, as they took the full payment then took a few days to refund once rejected.

I appreciate your help.

I am on biologics, 1 injection every fortnight of Adalimumab. All discussed with the rheumatology team before starting and disclosed to the pharmacy, M-Express.
