Big price increases?

[CoverMeInMarmalade]

Anyone else seen this chatter about massive price increases announced for MJ (to pharmacies) in the last hour or so?

Very concerning as it looks like it could double the cost of some of the doses. I'll try to find the copy of the letter sent out...

Thanks for a genuine polite answer!

I got an email from med express too. I can just afford it if I use the golden dose and eat beans. Im on my last stone to lose, I've already lost 5 stone. so Im going to massively step up my calorie restriction and exercise which will be tricky as Im disabled so not easy to "move more". Then Im switching to wegovy. Im pissed off though. My disability makes it difficult for me to lose weight and it's been a massive struggle and expense so this is a real kick in the teeth.

It’s a BMI of 40 not 30, or 37.5 for certain ethnicities, and 4 co-morbidities not 2.

I’ve been using Oushk for maintenance (did 6 months of active losing with ZAVA and now up to 7 months of maintenance with Oushk) and as maintenance option fhey’ve been relatively affordable due to the codes they issue and their free shipping offer. I pay less for 5mg with Oushk than I did with ZAVA.

Not much use for those currently losing but I figured it was worth pointing out for those who are nearing the end of their losses journey.

I’ve no idea how todays announcements will effect Oushk’s maintenance policy yet but I expect they will email current patients/customers as soon as their policy is finalised.

Did you contact them or just take from Reddit? Just wondering as the Reddit pic is a piece of paper and I don’t want to put too much trust into it 🤣

Wegovy works just as well and you can stay on it for more than 2 years if prescribed privately. I’d switch. Must be some good offers pending

Yup 177% increase i will have to switch to wegovy

These are costs

No, to get on the NHS you need 4 of 5 of a list of comorbidities

This isn’t helpful.

I'm just gutted. It's the only thing that worked for me - gained loads of weight due to taking (necessary) meds. I've lost 4.5 stone on Mounjaro and my BP, chloresterol and musculoskeletal pain are nearly back to normal. I'm really stretching to afford the current prices - definitely can't do £170 increased. I could just cry.

I can’t afford to bulk order so will have to just order my usual next pen and take my chances after that- my prescriber WePrescribe is totally out of stock of MJ as of today so hoping they get more stock by the time I need to re-order in the next week or so. Really frustrating.

I’m not on any WLIs yet but was planning to start soon.

Could anyone recommend what dose to stockpile on as a newbie?

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but why are you here pushing that opinion on a thread where it’s irrelevant? How bored do you have to be with life to choose to do this?

They are live on Tik Tok now and have given these prices

thanks for the correction, I knew you had to be pretty poorly for the NHS to prescribe but didn't realise it was 4

Oh incredible. So these are post Eli Lilly increase? I feel much happier now!

THCV in marijuana and some CBD oil is an appetite suppressant.

I expect Trumps lot to be pushing hard for an alternative to these pen shots. He doesn't like being held to ransom by individual pharmaceutical companies.

The date on the bottom of that TikTok says 1st May. Assume this relates to something else.

You’d think people would be happier that overweight people are getting slimmer and reducing reliance on NHS in later years hopefully.

Exactly my plan. Medexpress website was very slow tonight so guessing it’s been busy

Don't, go for Wegovy. I lost my weight on it and it works just as well.
