Well done to those redditors and you @QueenOfHiraeth I’ve reported Dr Franks for their very underhand business practices and I can see from that Reddit thread that they’re even worse than I thought.

I wouldn’t suggest anyone on here uses them ever.

Also, does anyone know what the juniper price is for 10mg?? It looks as if you can’t actually select a product/price until after your consultation. I’ve used a discount code (£75 off I think) but don’t actually know what the final price might be (which seems a bit odd if I then decide not to go ahead because it’s too expensive??). Thanks anyone.

@QueenOfHiraeth, I sent GPhC the website link and screenshots of Juniper using the trial results of 7.2mg to promote Wegovy, but omitting the fact that they can't actually sell it at the moment (which to me is more serious as it's actually misleading), but they replied that advertising isn't under their remit. It's down to ASA and MHRA. I would class the website claims as patient information as much as it is advertising, but their reply is as attached. So they won't act on ads.

Please can somebody explain how Juniper works for me? I've been on MJ for a year, but I haven't used a subscription service. Can I cancel anytime, or am I tied in for a period?

Also, if anyone wants to send me a discount code on private message, I'll happily use that rather than the one on Monj. Thank you.

Yes, you can cancel any time with Juniper subscription.

In fact I went to cancel the day after my pen came (I do this with every supplier) and upon cancelling they offered by an extra £40 off for the next 2 months. They takes the price to lower than I can buy elsewhere- so I stayed.

There seems to be a big side to Juniper that is lifestyle coaching, on-hand 121 support. That sort of thing. I am not at all interested in this element of thr subscription but I'm sure some people are. I have just removed notification permissions so they leave me alone.

I'll send you my discount code 😁

£229 - do £154 with a £75 new customer discount.

You get some free digital scales and a tape measure with your first order. I had no idea until the box came and I wondered why the box was so big.

Sorry I dropped off the conversation and was just coming back to ask if any providers have confirmed new pricing yet? Oushk have nothing on their website and I can't bear to joint the Facebook page. Any confirmed comparison charts around? Also a bit dejected at the news of the new pen designs and ending of the bonus dose :(

FoxRedPuppy · 24/08/2025 19:49

There is a thread with a link to monj site with the ones that have released prices.

I think people have shared the leaked documentation about the new pen.

it makes sense. They should be making sure that people can only take it according to license.

How long do people thing for the new pens to filter down through? I’ve just bought enough needles etc for 10 bonus doses. Would at least like to get to use two or three of those!

Yeah I’ve just seen the Reddit post and I know in America they have exact dosage pens x 4 each month. I’m guessing there will be a couple of ml for priming the needle but that’s it.

I can imagine it might be a couple of months but it depends on demand, how many they manufacture in advance etc. I’m nearly out of my 10 pack, I guess I won’t need anymore!

MissMogs · 24/08/2025 20:18

It’s just going to cause people to panic and stockpile even more!!

MynameisJune · 24/08/2025 20:31

Probably because it pushes the cost up even further for those that do use the 5th dose.

Guess that’s the issue with stuff being posted all over SM, Lilly have realised they’re losing out on money.

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 24/08/2025 20:37

Just looked at the Reddit thread on 'new' pens, and it's not confirmed at all. One poster who seems knowledgeable is sure it's just a change in the wording of the documentation to comply with regulations, and not a change in the physical manufacturing of the KwikPen. Also no suggestion that we are getting the American-style pens.

Just for information and largely unsubstantiated, but I have heard rumours from friends who work in pharmacy/pharmaceuticals that there was more to this debacle than just Trump and there have been rumblings about unprofessional behaviour, profiteering and rule-bending in the wild west that is the WLI market.
Their suggestion was this may be part of the reason Lilly hit the UK with price controls and enforced quotas on pharmacy ordering rather than reducing costs in the US as NovoNordisk have done.

May be a coincidence but the pharmacy regulators sent information to pharmacists this week containing the following:
"We have recently had concerns raised with us by the public, medicines manufacturers, and other regulators regarding medicines supplied on private prescriptions overseas by UK pharmacies. Concerns have included medicines being supplied to countries in which they are not legally allowed, and medicines arriving in a condition which means they are not safe to use.
Pharmacies and their teams need to undertake the relevant checks concerning the applicable laws of the country they are sending medicines to.
The packaging, transport method and in-transit timeliness and delivery provider also need to be suitable (in line with the manufacturer’s storage instructions) to ensure that the medicine arrives in good condition and is still safe and fit for purpose.
The DHSC list of medicines that you cannot export from the UK or hoard should also be checked and the potential impact on medicines availability carefully considered before sending medicines outside the UK."

I particularly noted the points about sending medication overseas which we have all seen (even some posters on here have admitted they are not in the UK but a provider ships to them or allows bulk buying when visiting with the knowledge the patient is from overseas - no shade to them it is the prescriber at fault) and the point about hoarding which some pharmacies seem to have encouraged. I checked that list, just out of interest and both semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are on it.

It then goes on to say:
"We recently issued a joint enforcement notice with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to tackle adverts for prescription-only medicines by pharmacies that don’t comply with legislation and standards.
The ASA recently issued rulings against pharmacies, who promoted prescription-only medicines (POMs) for weight management.
These rulings make clear that all injectable forms of weight-management medication are POMs and can’t be advertised, even where ads don’t explicitly name a medicine. The rulings clarify that claims including “Weight Loss Injections” and “GLP-1”, and images including unbranded medical injection pens or vials of liquid, aren’t allowed.
We expect all pharmacies to make sure any adverts or promotion comply. "

May be a total coincidence but who knows?

So Eli Lilly was pissed off at fly-by-night pharmacists and so decided to punish ALL their customers?

Perhaps they should pull the other one, it has bells on.

It’ll be what it’ll be. I can’t start worrying about it now in case it might happen. Have to wait and see.

No one said it was confirmed but I wouldn’t read that Reddit thread and be absolutely certain they’re not changing the pens. Especially as some pharmacists have also had heads up about pens changing. Someone mentioned it on one of these threads this week as well.

No one can say either way what’s happening and I doubt we’d know before they issue them unless it was leaked.

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 24/08/2025 20:55

The discussion on here in the last hour or so read as if the possibility of a fifth dose is definitely being phased out, @MynameisJune. A matter of when, not if. I wanted to make it clear that it is not definite at all, to reduce any unnecessary worry.

But you then went the other way and made it seem like there was no chance of this happening.

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 24/08/2025 21:05

No, I did not, @MynameisJune. I said "it's not confirmed at all".

I've just seen your scaremongering on the other thread that you'll be "surprised" if we'll even be able to count clicks 🤦🏻‍♀️

There is absolutely no suggestion that the KwikPen is being redesigned or replaced.
