I'm still waiting for my Asda (already a customer) order to be approved. I'm not stockpiling it's just my usual order but I'm worried if they reject it I'll have e to Scrabble about trying to place an order somewhere else by the end of the month. Am also debating placing an order somewhere else so I'll have 2 months supply but then worried about the gap in ordering as I jump around pharmacies at the moment to save money as my BMI is still 34

I ordered the day before this kicked off last week and it says approved since Sunday and expected by tomor but tracking says it has yet to receive it so am nervous it's not coming. It's a 12.5 pen. I've been with Asda since last year and now wondering so I need to try elsewhere

I remember reading about this place in The Guardian a little while back. It's legit as far as i can tell. As someone who's microdosing successfully on maintenance (and playing a silly game of 'don't ask, don't tell' with my prescriber), I personally don't have a problem with the rationale behind what they're doing but...the price is bonkers, it's a whole other world for the very wealthy.

Just had the following from Lotus. We will have to wait and see what happens.

This email is to provide a key update regarding all orders placed since Friday, 15th August.

If you have received your full order, please accept my apologies and disregard this message.

As we are all aware, the recent price change announcement by Eli Lilly has sent the industry into a state of unprecedented demand.

First and foremost, if you have received an order received email from us, please rest assured that your order is secure and we are working diligently to fulfill it as quickly as possible.

Due to this exceptional volume, our primary pharmacy, CloudRx, has informed us that they have reached their processing capacity. As such, some orders have been sent to our trusted partner pharmacy, SignatureRX, to fulfill.

While this may cause a small delay, we want to assure you that all confirmed orders will be fulfilled. You will receive the exact same brand name product: Mounjaro, manufactured by Eli Lilly. SignatureRX is a larger company and they have plenty of Mounjaro stock to handle the increased demand.

Once your order has been processed, you will receive tracking information via email. We expect those who have not yet received tracking information to receive it in the next 1-2 days.

For Patients with Bundle Orders

We have been informed that for some patients who placed a bundle order, one of the pens may have been dispatched by CloudRx before they reached capacity. As above, the remainder of your order has been sent directly to and will be fulfilled by SignatureRX.

Holiday & Delivery Concerns

Some customers have advised that they are leaving for holiday soon and are concerned about missing their delivery. Should you wish to delay delivery, we can place your order on hold until you return. However, please be aware that we would need to dispatch your order before the 1st September price change takes effect.

Please also note that we are still limiting orders to existing customers only at this time, with a 4-pen limit per customer.

We will continue to provide updates in due course. Should you require an urgent update, please email us at [email protected]. Our team is working through all emails and contact page queries as quickly as possible and we appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,
Kyle Jones
Managing director

I got this and 15mins later got an email from Signature Pharmacy saying that they’re processing my order, so hopefully it’ll all get sorted soon for everyone.

Freecall · 20/08/2025 17:11

Yes, got the Signature email as well. If I log into the Signature account it gives an anticipated delivery date of tomorrow but no email to tell me that it is being shipped.

MissMogs · 20/08/2025 17:15

Feeling left out now! No signature email for me! What time did you order?

Letshavetea1 · 20/08/2025 17:32

Hi all,
I’ll post more soon, but here is a fab micro dosing chart

Does this mean you could potentially get 30 2.5mg doses from a 15mg pen? I know you absolutely shouldn’t but I guess there must be people who do!

Letshavetea1 · 20/08/2025 17:38

ps -
posted it as it’s clear that we’ll all probably have pens that aren’t quite the dose we’d ideally choose with the current situation. Not saying anyone should microdose or go over
30 days (although I probably will)!
I’ve received a bundle order of a 7.5mg and a 10mg from Health Express today after Oushk could only supply one 10mg pen. Impressed with the prompt delivery.

A single 15mg 0.6ml dose is the same as six 2.5mg 0.1ml doses - 10 clicks each. So that's 6 x 4 = 24.
Then you have your "golden" dose of 15mg, which is another six at 2.5mg.

IrisPallida · 20/08/2025 18:16

WeAllHaveWings · 20/08/2025 15:44

@Time4changeagain and @IrisPallida they talk about Mounjaro and strangely Ozempic (rather than using Wegovy) in some of their pages https://www.healand.co.uk/microdosing-glp1s-weightloss

Exactly. They talk about Mounjaro and Ozempic, but they carefully do not state that is what they provide.

Mezzoprezzo · 20/08/2025 18:17

How are people ordering from Asda? They've been showing all higher doses out of stock for days? Are you all on lower doses?

Correction, the box arrived today and it includes bluetooth scales to use in their app, along with a guide booklet for the med and a weight loss programme guide too. If I was staying on mounjaro, I'd opt to be with these guys. Feels a world of difference more professional and rigorous than med express.

Mine have started asking questions, since their inspection, when there has been longer than 4 week gaps between my orders, I’ve (allegedly) skipped doses for illness, wedding, holiday etc. which they have accepted, they also say if I have bought from elsewhere they need a copy of the dated prescription for their records to show continuous prescribing.

Whose this please?

DottyMcDiet · 20/08/2025 19:20

I ordered from Simple Online Pharmacy on Friday night for a 7.5mg pen as typically, have just the 5th dose remaining in my 2nd 5mg pen, such a bad time to need to reorder!

They messaged me yesterday to say it was out for delivery and whilst I was at work, I didn’t stress as there were 3 other adults in the house all day. I was so pissed off to later get a message to say that the delivery had failed.

I was on a day off today and waiting on the porch for the DPD driver but after 48hours in transit it was barely cool 😠

I also panic bought a 7.5mg pen from Pharmacy2U that has yet to be dispatched so God knows if anyone will hear or answer the door for that one.
Both of those pens were around £175 each.

I visited my local pharmacy today, 3 minutes walk from my house, and saw the prescribing pharmacist. He quoted me £200 for a 10mg pen and said they had plenty of stock and wouldn’t be increasing their prices until October so I could buy another in 4 weeks to beat the price increases. It sounds a lot less stressful than relying on delivery services!

Having realised that my long awaited 3.6% NHS pay rise due this month is now below the rate of inflation I need to save what I can but am very conscious that not everyone is in a position to do this.

Let’s hope it all settles down soon and isn’t as bad as first feared. 🙏

Whose this please?

Hi, it is with Juniper. I have decided to switch to Wegovy and opted to change supplier in the process. Juniper are not the cheapest, but I liked the cut of their jib and it feels like they are not just trying to sell me stuff. Other options are available !

I realise most people don't want to switch to Wegovy, but I am happy to slow down my loss over time and I'd prefer some stability right now.

I found med express a bit pushy and combative.

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 20/08/2025 19:43

For anyone trying to get part-doses from a pen, here is a webpage that will calculate it for you: number of clicks, doses per pen etc...

www.vrgrowth.co.uk/mounjaro-clicks

As it says on the page: "If you choose to use your KwikPen any way other than as per the manufacturer's instructions, you do so at your own risk."

Does anyone know the name of the needles that go on the pens? I’m going to need more than the four provided for each pen.

Catsknowbest · 20/08/2025 20:56

My provider MedExpress contacted me , they are allowing 2 orders within 28 days ie before 1st Sept at current price so I've had to go ahead. After that, I'm afraid, I'll have to do a wash out and transition to Wegovy I think...I don't really want to as on only 20 days on 2.5 I've lost 8lb. Start 5mg tomorrow..maybe if 5mg steadily works for me I might be able to stay on..
