Moving Mounjaro providers, any recommendations?

Hi all, just looking for a quick bit of advice! I have been using Shemed for the past 3 weeks and have lost 5KG which I’m SO happy with!

They overall have been great but I have been experiencing some mild side effects on the 2.5mg. I filled out my prescription refill questionnaire a few days ago and have been moved straight up to 5mg which I’m not really happy with as I don’t feel ready! Upon contacting them, they’ve said unless my side effects are severe I’m not able to remain on 2.5mg. I’m FUMING! How can I not have any input on what I’m injecting into my own body?!

Anyway, I’ve cancelled my plan with them as really wasn’t happy with that and am now shopping around for new providers. I have 1 dose left in my original pen so will need another 2.5mg pen ready for my 5th jab on Monday 31st March. I’m now below the 30 required BMI so will need to go with one that will take my previous prescription as proof of my eligibility.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations please? I was paying £159 through Shemed for the 2.5mg.

Many thanks in advance ☺️

Hi I’ve moved to Oushk due to their reputation of excellent customer service and the fact they offer maintenance plans. Just got approved and delivery due soon.

I have posted a separate thread on the WLI board about my awful experience with Cloud Pharmacy, so would advise to avoid Cloud!

Numan have been fantastic at sending the dose I want, changing it at my request etc and gave great coaching and support too. (You can check the discount code thread for a really great first order discount I posted too.)

Has anyone got experience of Lloyds Pharmacy ?

Lloyd’s have been good (have been with them since Nov), but I don’t see anything on their site about maintenance doses so I may need to switch. It’s a shame because they have been pretty responsive.

Has anyone got experience of Lloyds Pharmacy ?

I'm with Lloyds. My pictures got rejected by Boots (with no option to verify further), which turned out for the best, as i didn't realise they are super expensive compared to others! I then signed up with Lloyds, did the consultation and a video of me on the scales, it was approved the same day and dispatched, and then delivered the next day and very well-packaged. I was really impressed at the efficiency, and the verification seemed robust. Just ordered my 2nd pen and experienced the same great service.

However, I am looking to change, maybe after I've finished this next pen, as Lloyds don't really offer anything in terms of maintenance. I've been looking at Oushk, as their maintenance plans seem well thought out and flexible, which is what I want as I don't want to stop cold turkey.

I used MedExpress for my first two pens, I stayed on 2.5 and they said it was totally my decision.
Just got my third pen and I used Medicine Marketplace as they are about £20 cheaper than MedExp and they dont charge postage. Was pretty easy to change over, just had to do a video of my getting on the scales and send photo ID. It was either that or a face to face video consultation but because I'm already on MJ I didnt have to do that bit.
