Provider that will prescribe despite gallstone history?

I had a couple of gallstone attacks 10 years ago while I was pregnant. I didn't have my gallbladder removed and I haven't had a single attack since then.

I'm currently with Oushk and while they were great at first they are going downhill at the moment. I've been trying to shop around because it would be nice to get the jabs a little bit cheaper and I've been working my way through the monj list but I've been rejected from so many now.

I've lost 5 stone so far and no gallbladder issues, my GP is on board and supportive.

Are there any other providers that will prescribe to me? Currently waiting for a reply from Numan.

I’ve used a few and went back to MedExpress. Have you tried them?

I got my first dose in April from Medicine Marketplace because it was one of the cheapest and had good Trustpilot reviews on the Mounj website. I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago because of a stone causing attacks, but they still prescribed.

What have you got against Oushk? I know they have had some issues with their postal services lately in some areas but that isn't their fault and they seem to try and sort it. I have no complaints and will be sticking with them. I was going to suggest them as they do tend to be very good at looking at people on an individual basis. I had my gallbladder removed years ago and was refused by IQ Doctor (after they prescribed initially). I have used Curate who were happy to prescribe me and who I had no issues with but they have poor reviews so I swopped to Oushk. Been with them a few months now and planning to stay as they have been great, prices are reasonable and they are happy to prescribe for maintenance and work with you.

The cheaper providers tend to be more risk averse, they can afford to reject anyone with a more complex history as they are raking in the business due to price. Have you tried pharmoulous? They won't be cheaper than Oushk but, like Oushk, take on the more complex issues.

I get mine from Pharmulous and had gallbladder removed nearly 20 years ago

SheMed. They asked me 1001 questions and I get an email to check my gallbladder is ok before they prescribe a new pen but they accepted me when many wouldn’t.

I use Superdrug and I’ve got gallstones although never had any symptoms. GP is aware and happy.
