Another calm and supportive thread to discuss the Price Increases: Mounjaro THREAD TWO

[TryingAgainAgainAgain]

Keep calm and carry on discussing The Pendemic…

(sorry)

@FurForksSake no the £5 is one time only. When you need another 3 pens, you just do the shorter maintenance plan update and the discountwill be automaticallyapplied to your basket price.
@Fatmumslim01 it should really say 'from £100' as that's the price of a Wegovy lowest dose. The price of
2.5 will be the price on there, less £25 if you're on maintenance or less the other normal offer (£15 i think?)

Blimey, I should be getting paid for customer service 😅

@KrankyKumquat thank you my grumpy, fruit friend!

I'd be very grateful for some help/advice on buying a 7.5 mg pen. Does anyone have experience with Get a Drip? Looks like I could save 47% on steps 3, 4, 5 - which I presume is a bundle of 7.5, 10 and 15 mg pens. Not that I can find out how much the bundle actually is, sadly.

I'm struggling to decide on a supplier for my next pen. I've been on 5 mg for 4 or 5 weeks now and I'm finding that the "oooh, what can I have?" thoughts are returning so I think I need to move to the next dose.

I bought a 10mg pen with get a drip recently with that offer for £205. Really recommend and I wish I’d bought a 7.5 too on that offer.

I need to get one now (usually with Voy but going to leave them) but the monj website is a bit overwhelming! Luckily still over the 27 bmi but need to work out who I want to go with regularly I guess or just go with multiple places? Not keen on oushk tbh.

Tho their 7.5 even with discount and free p&p is still more then pharmolous as @Azuresky68 found out

@LaGioiosanotLeviosa Thanks, it’s good to hear from someone who’s bought from them. Though I don’t know if I should even bother as the price hike is so great that I don’t know if I can afford to stay on MJ at all.

Thanks for all the information on pen prices.. very helpful 👌

Why would you have an issue being over a BMI of 27?
I thought you could still switch if you can ‘prove’ you’re taking MJ (photo of the last box has been enough for me so far)

Sorry, I feel like I misunderstood something and I’m stressing out - probably for nothing 🤪🤪. But if I need to choose a supplier to stick to, I’d rather have a bit of time to do so. I’m realising for example that the first pharmacy I’ve used was crap, albeit cheap. Dint want to make this mistake again.

Yes - you can switch with a BMI below 27/30 as long as you can show that you are currently taking the medication. I just ordered my first pen from Swift at BMI 22. They asked the date of my last injection and I had to supply photo evidence of my last prescription. It was approved in about half an hour so no issues.

Juniper are annoying me greatly at the minute. I'm now just under 12st which is lovely, but it means they wanted new photos. I've sent them. They now want further 'proof I am who I say I am' so wanted a copy of my ID documents. I've said I'm not willing to send that information over an app and they've come back and basically said as I'm 'unable to send them' I 'just' need to send the ID documents. So annoyingly it looks like they'll stop me because I'm not willing to send my ID documents over an app whose safety they can't guarantee.

I had to do the ID documents for Pharmulous for my first order with them at the start of the summer. It was via a secure portal, the link to which they emailed to me. I had to scan my passport and do a 'live selfie' thing to confirm my face was the face on my passport.
If it is the same for Juniper I think it is safe?

I think ID is going to be mandatory for all pharmacies in months to come.

I also sent photos of my driving license to get a drip. Didn’t think anything of it as just assume all pharmacies will ask for it when ordering?

I have no issue with the ID part (though they've had it before when I first joined). It was more the 'send it via the app or don't send it and that's it' attitude. I work at a firm that is always having to be cautious with how documents are sent and I just didn't love the AI responses I guess.

Just cheeky have to pay. Pharmolous you don’t pay to maintain and they will allow you to go back on within a year of last order tho obv be 2.5 if off it

if using other providers as long as proof all fine

In general apps are far more secure than say, email. Much better to upload a photo to an app than to email it to someone. Or even a video call as that could be screenshotted.

How else would you propose providing ID?

Asda limited time discount 10%
After stocking up a couple pens I have not needed to order. Asda automated reminder to order emails eventually sent out a discount code of 10% pretty good for higher doses. This one has worked for me and says active until Wednesday. I may be a single user code but it definitely worth trying. WLAS10CH

if you are using Asda and are stocked up, turn on offers in your Asda online doctor account settings too as may help now or later with a discount

What’s more the order was accepted same day and arrived next day. No more delays!!

Feb 2027 expiry stock of 12.5mg

on this id point I am having the opposite issue with Pharmulous. I have had to provide id with previous providers so no huge issue but I want to do it via the portal rather than via email. They have a new website and whilst they’ve said I can, there is actually no method for me to do so that either I or dh can see. Has anyone come across this recently - I don’t want to just be emailing my drivers licence to a random address!

I have managed to pause my next pen with Juniper until the end of January which is amazing as I ordered lots of pens in August price hikes as none was in stock. Then they all eventually got delivered weeks later. I also have £100 referal discount which they said they will honour. Very happy with that

We are going to need a new thread soon.
I just ordered from Medicine Market Place (12.5mg). Quite a pain. Entered ALL the details including NHS number! Payment failed due to some mix up with the credit card verification - and I lost ALL that data and had to do it again. It wasn't saved.
AND THEN after they had taken my money I had to submit more evidence (a video and a screen shot) that the app wouldn't let me do live.
Cheaper isn't easier (sigh)

Just wanted to add my thoughts for anyone wanting to change providers etc. I know they are mentioned on here a lot but I’ve just ordered my next 7.5 from Pharmulous for the first time. Ordered Fri night (did the usual photos etc), Monday received email saying all approved and today just received my order. Really pleased with how easy it was and also I like that they don’t really do discounts, but are definitely lower than other places. My 7.5 was £215 wheareas Voy about £40 more I think?
I’ll be cancelling my subscription to Voy anyway but just wanted to share in case it helps anyone else!

I also wanted to add that it's definitely worth being a bit pushy at the moment. A lot of the mid range pharmacies aren't being very vocal about the discounts on offer but ask and you shall receive! 15% in Cloud Pharmacies case

But once you've passed all their checks, re-ordering is very simple, just follow the link they send you, confirm your current weight and any side effects and that's it. Very quickly approved and dispatched.

I love pharmolous and their one set price. No discounts. No postage
