Lots of very useful discussions going on on the old thread, so I thought I would continue it!

It’s scary isn’t it. I ordered my 15mg pen yesterday morning before this even really kicked off. Then suddenly everyone is stockpiling and I decided to just go ahead and stick two on my credit card

I don't think I can order any more than one at a time from MedExpress. It says I can re-order from 28th so might can sneak another one in before price increase hopefully (if not sold out 😅)

Ordered my next pen yesterday morning from Medicine Marketplace and have heard absolutely nothing about a dispatch. Anyone else with them?

I think that stocks will be really low by then. I wouldn’t be surprised if multiple pharmacies end up pausing orders.

i ordered my next pen from IQdoctor yesterday (was due to order this week anyway) it’s already arrived this morning. Haven’t heard a peep from them about all this though yet.

Amazing. I’m waiting for them to cancel my panic 15mg order with them so that should be one more available!

To the people saying ordering multiple pens to 'stock up' isn't a problem

Email I received from Family Chemist a few minutes ago :
We regret to inform you that Mounjaro is currently unavailable due to an unprecedented surge in demand and limited supply from Eli Lilly (the manufacturer). We understand how important this treatment is for many of our patients, and we believe it would be inappropriate to accept payment for orders we cannot guarantee to fulfil.

As a patient focused healthcare provider, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to stop accepting new Mounjaro orders so we can prioritise those we have already received. This ensures that patients who have already placed their orders are supported first.

Our team will be focusing on completing current prescriptions as promptly as possible. Please note we are closed over the weekend, and no further Mounjaro orders will be processed during this time

I'm genuinely baffled why people, who clearly know nothing about WLI and how they work, are determined to post on these threads? Just why?

I know fuck all about Crown Green Bowling, but I am now determined to find a thread about it and give all the experienced players the manifest benefits of my baseless opinions and ignorant assumptions.

Because, you know, I bet they'll find it dead helpful.

Just placemarking on new thread. DH has his weight verification call with Oushk tomorrow. They must be snowed under just now, and all the pharmacies.

Wow that was quick, I ordered with them yesterday too. I hope it gets approved soon to put my mind at ease.

We need some sort of mansplaining alternative for Mounjaro.

I have my call with them tomorrow too. Normally they message by now to say I don’t need it as I had one a couple of months ago but this time I’m just going to do it. Bless them

I’m still on the flex plan with Oushk, wondering if anything will change there. I saw Hira said the 15% discount probably won’t remain. I’m hoping to never have to order a pen again but the flex plan gives me some security and peace of mind just in case.

Hira is also lead pharmacist at Curate!

Pumpkinforever · 15/08/2025 12:04

Pharmulous aren’t taking any more MJ orders. Just been on their website.

LifeOfAShowGirl · 15/08/2025 12:05

Lots and lots of nasty comments on the Oushk page now regarding the advice last night to stock up. I think that advice was misplaced but came from a place of genuine panic.

Yes, I'm in need of a very mediocre, uninformed, slightly dim person to explain to me something they know sod all about. Always really helpful.

Followthesunshine · 15/08/2025 12:06

I'm hoping MedExpress will limit orders to just one pen. Those stockpiling may well prevent others from having access to any at all.

susiedaisy1912 · 15/08/2025 12:06

The patent for Mounjaro runs out in 2031 I believe so think we are stuck with it until then. That’s when other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce their version of it.

Someone enlighten me please. What has this got to do with trump?

Aren't they just bringing prices in line with Europe? Eli lily ozempic is 279e in Spain so was artificially cheap in the UK

I read somewhere that this was while they dealt with a backlog of orders and re-evaluate stock levels. I got an order in with them as soon as this news broke yesterday and, unusually for them, haven't had the email to say it's been approved and/or dispatched yet - they're normally really quick. I noticed that by early evening they had paused orders so they must have been inundated.

JasonTindallsTan · 15/08/2025 12:08

Checking in to this thread as I’m really disheartened about this. I’ve been taking MJ in secret and had great results. Could afford but can not justify the price hikes on family money.

LifeOfAShowGirl · 15/08/2025 12:08

susiedaisy1912 · 15/08/2025 12:06

Oops

lol this keeps happening to me!!!

It seems this is in response to Trump, and then the potential launch of the tablet version. But as far as I can see that’s not made much progress in Europe and the UK. Mainly in China.

Edited

Trump told them to bring US prices into line with the cheapest markets, so of course, instead of lowering US prices, they raised ours.
