Switching suppliers advice please

I'm hoping that people who have switched suppliers often whilst on mounjaro can advise me how straight forward it is ( or not).
When you switch do you have to show new pictures every time?
Thanks

It’s the same as when you signed up for your current provider. Yes they will want up to date photos, or a video consult or whatever the new pharmacy does to check your information.

Oh okay thanks. I thought perhaps they're were some that would just take proof of your last prescription

I switched to iq doctor and submitted proof of identity, proof of previous pen and photos. Since they seem to offer discounts to ongoing customers i probably will stick with them now.

Thanks.
Did anyone know of any supplier that would just accept a recent prescription from another supplier?

@Rattai what’s the issue with doing up to date photos? I doubt anywhere reputable would accept you without doing the proper checks.

I think suppliers have tightened up a lot now, id be amazed if anyone did it without photos or a live video consultation, and probably for the best tbh.

No issue as such just wondered about when you are just wanting to stay on for maintenance long-term but no longer at the required bmi

The “required BMI” is your starting BMI, not your current one. You can still change suppliers if they support maintenance and your BMI is not below their maintenance cut off, which is different for different suppliers. You do need to provide evidence of previous prescriptions but also your current figure via photos, so they can verify your BMI. It would be irresponsible of them not to.
