No needles with pen2 from med express

Anyone else not received any needles with their pen? I have contacted medexpress but got a standard we aim to respond in 2 working days response by which time I'll be over a week since I've had my previous jab.
Do any of the pharmacies stock them?

Just buy them on Amazon for next day delivery, most pharmacies also sell them,

ThirdStorm · 03/02/2025 20:41

Happened to me once, MedExpress sent them out next day delivery.

I didn't know you could get them on amazon. Don't really want to pay anymore for them tbh as the £150 for this months pen has wiped me out and I am struggling to manage as it is.

Hope they will see my email in time and send some out for me

That will be a mistake. They come separately in the bag so maybe they just got mixed up with sending. Contact them and get them to send you some. I normally get five or six in the bag so do you have a spare from pen 1 to keep you going?

I got 5 in the previous bag but used all 5 as 1 didn't securely fasten on. So I don't have any left.
No response as yet from med express 😞

Mine were loose in the box and not in with the insulated package inside with my second order. Is it possible you missed them?

Lighterlilly · 04/02/2025 17:13

Op you can get them for 3 or 4 quid for 100. They are very cheap, could you maybe find that?

Err where? The cheapest I've found is £16 for 100.
And why should I have to pay more for something that should be included? I certainly don't need a box of 100 anyway!
This will almost certainly be my last pen anyhow as I can't afford it going forwards

@Lighterlilly you didn't come across as trying to help. I literally said In my first posts that I couldn't afford to buy needles 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does no one reuse needles?

You literally asked if any pharmacies stocked them. That was your actual question in your own opening post.

No! They're single use, for good reason.

@SpiderPigSpiderPigDoesWhateverASpiderPigDoes yes I was trying to see if I could get a single needle from them not a box of a 100 costing £16!

You asked where to buy them,you then followed it up by asking me where to buy them for 4 quid, as you could only find them for 16 pounds, and when I provided a link, you then attacked me for telling you saying you’ve only 6 quid and don’t want to buy them.

Utterly bizzare .

Well you should have said that. We are not mind readers.

and it’s 4 quid!

You should get the £4 then. Cheaper.

I don't need 100 needles I need at most 4!

I'm not going to buy 100 when I need 4 🙄

And the ones they have posted are not the correct needles anyway!!!

Wow op what exactly were you expecting from this post? You asked where you could get needles from, you received several answers which were clearly not what you wanted to hear. Did you think you would somehow manifest 4 free needles to your address?
