That's the best explanation I've seen, @QueenOfHiraeth. I find it helpful to understand a bit more about behind the scenes.

ah, didn't see there was a live last night, assume it was on facebook which looks like it has been suspended again, as doesn't show on the circle events?

Was there any other information shared?

It was with one of their brand ambassadors on TikTok.

It was mostly just talking about the benefits of Wegovy and how to switch over.

Maintenance codes will be changing so it's only £x amount off an order, rather than a %.

Regular codes can be used on all WLI, not just mounjaro.

Orders have been changed to 2 pens every 30 days, but I think that's already been mentioned on the previous thread.

Eli Lilly are limiting the amount of stock they can purchase and deliveries are coming in significantly less than expected.

Pharmacists who have previously been carrying out weight verification calls have been moved to customer support due to the influx of orders. They're experiencing a 30% increase in orders compared to normal so they're absolutely swamped right now.

I think that was everything.

Cloud are impossible to contact .
They took my money a week ago .
Getting conflicting emails from them.
One says it approved, then another came saying rejected .
Look on my account and says preparing for dispatch .
No sense in any of that .
Tried emailing, ringing..nothing , cant get through .
It conflicting and confusing .
I cant afford to keep having money being held in different places ( well one other ) , £400 is a lot of money to me

@Kipperandarthur I bet the pharmacies are all nervous about releasing their prices.Customers will be really shopping around now the price has gone up. If you haven’t negotiated a good enough discount and are charging more than competitors you won’t sell any pens. They have recruited staff possibly including additional pharmacists, invested in their websites and fridges, possibly signed storage and courier delivery contracts and now their sales might disappear to a competitor.

They must have had a taste of reduced output this week as many pharmacies don’t have stock. In two weeks they will have the stock but will they have customers? I expect most people tried to buy a pen in the past week so not many people will need a pen in the first half of September. I think people will wait till they really need their next pen and keep checking the prices and any offers. i think they will also change their habits a bit eg stay on a cheaper lower dose, buy a bigger pen but take smaller doses from it etc. Some would be new customers might start on Wegovy instead so they need to get that pricing structure reviewed as well. In short they have no clue how much demand they will have going forwards and are likely already paying staff to not do very much as they have no stock to prescribe,pack and send out.

Edited

Yes I agree with all your points here.

I also agree with your pricing/profit detail of your other post and how much potential profit some of these pharmacies were potentially making selling 100 pens a day across 5 working business days.

It's been lucrative business for them and this has certainly upset the apple cart.

I don't see if all as plain sailing for them going forward either especially since so many customers have stocked up ahead of this price rise, so many are going to reconsider their options, so many are not going to start, so many are going to make pens last longer etc etc.

Ordered from pharmacy2u as an existing customer on the 17th, still nothing and they have returned my money to my bank. Have emailed them asking why.

Re: psyllium husk, I take the capsules already, but painkillers and iron tablets do not help. I have ibs so it’s a different kind of life.

I found liquid iron better for this- I took spatone. Not sure if that is an option?

Another pharmacy to name and shame : Cloud. They approved my pen on the 15th, but no shipping updates. As seems to be the new normal, emails are ignored and the phone isn't answered. I am surprised and not a little disappointed, as I chose Cloud specifically because they are a very established pharmacist, that I have used before to fulfill prescriptions. However, I have just discovered that they are also the fulfilment source for two other pharmacies - Lotus and Signature, so God knows how many plates they are juggling.
As an aside - has anyone noticed how many of these pharmacies are based in Scotland? I wonder what it is that makes this particular location so attractive 🤔

Good to know
I was approved by them yesterday but no shipping details yet

Interesting they are providets for other chemists too
I feel like I am caught up in a ring of lies, conspiracy and deception 😂😂

They’re all still arguing over that! I do think calling her out by name is quite harsh, but they launched the community about a month ago and she has well over 1,000 posts and comments, plus all the deleted ones!

Are you already on 12.5? Otherwise that might be why they have rejected. They should approve if it’s a big step up from the dose you are currently on.

Yes and i sent proof of the prescription.
One day it was approved, two days later rejected

EternalFatalist · 22/08/2025 16:05

My order that I placed with Asda on 15 August for a continuation pack (one 7.5mg pen and one 10mg pen) was approved this afternoon and will apparently be delivered by DPD before noon tomorrow. So that is a relief and hopefully others who are still waiting will receive updates imminently. Still no news on post-1 September pricing, but hopefully that means that they are in active negotiations for some sort of reductions.🤞

Just had another email from Lotus which says I should receive tracking info in 2 hours. Coming from Signature. Fingers crossed!
