I wondered that but I think the U.K. market is probably a drop in the ocean compared to the US market. Much bigger population and have had an obesity crisis longer than U.K.

Aren't most Americans on Ozempic/wegovy? It's all I hear about, rarely mounjaro.

No, never panic bought anything!!
I always order every 2 weeks and use 5 doses from every pen!
I’ve got enough now to take me up to the Ne Year, all the pens I buy now I will be buying a lower dose every month or so so that when I’m at target I can then move down to a lower dose each time and I’m also planning on spreading the doses out instead of every 7 days I’ll go to every 10 days, so my pens I’ve got at the moment may infact last longer than the New Year!

Take a photo of all your full pens/boxes pharmacy labels including your ID and today’s date, and any dated prescriptions you have as a record you have a stock of pens.

Share with your provider(s) now (or maybe next month after things calm down) and ask if they will accept you back as a customer in the new year.

I tried this with Lotus yesterday and they said that they wouldn't- I have 12 weeks from my last order and even then I would be put back on 2.5mg as a starting point. I am planning to taper down to 2.5mg in that time anyway so won't particularly impact me if I do decide to order another, but just an FYI for anyone else on Lotus.

Voy queried gaps in my treatments (which were 4 golden doses) even after 20 days away from them.
I think it will be quite hard going back. I’m hoping that I have enough to mostly get to goal, or a stone or so away. I might see where I am in three months time as I could perhaps order with the pharmacy that I bought a bundle with. They’d be expecting another order around them. But I don’t think I will be able to afford it anyway.

Thank you

I’ve got every single box still from the day I first started and obviously the ones I’ve not opened yet and all my emails as proof of purchase x

@autumn1610 why don’t you move over to Weygovy? It’s less than £180.

Yeah I’m considering it, I’ve got about 1st to go so debating if I go for a PT instead, as I'm not that far away from goal.

I was thinking about that the other day for when this stock of pens runs out and I’m nearer goal. It’s probably a really sensible move too to arm yourself for the future.

Try lotus weight loss. I just ordered 2 7.5 pens for £380

How? Was that pre September? Their website is showing £245 for one 7.5mg pen.

I did the same, they have secured a small amount of bundles that they have reduced to help people bridge the gap. They are such a nice bunch.

Full disclosure I am an affiliate of them but there's a £20 off code on the weight loss promo code section so even cheaper. You don't need to use my code as I can see a few on that board so just pick one if you go for it. It's a good offer and they have it on all doses.

Prices are these -

I saw that on the website, but couldn’t find where to actually order a bundle. I could only click on one single pen at a higher price. Where do you find the bundles? Sorry for being a bit thick.
