Thinking about starting Mounjaro - where do I start?!

[chunkybear]

Hi - as per title, where do people get their supplies, is there anyway to get discounts/ cheaper companies etc? I reckon I could lose 8 stone so have a bit of a journey ahead of me but have an autoimmune disease which means I can’t exercise like I used to, I have limited energy before I crash so the weight keeps piling on! It also doesn’t help that I am peri-menopausal too … feeling like a rather fat panda these days 🥺🐼

There are a ton of standing threads on this; if you do a search you’ll find them :)

Go on monj.co.uk to get a list of all prices and discount codes.

Order! You’ll have to submit things like ID, proof of weight such as a photo of yourself holding today’s date, etc.

Receive! Jab.

My only advice is to pick your day carefully- people tend to find they can eat more on days 5-7 as it wears off. So for me I do mine Sun evening, as I need the most help weekdays but like to relax and eat more/eat out over the weekends.

Thank you! I’m considering doing it through a pharmacy so they check my weight, I’m clinically depressed and can’t handle that number at the moment

I was you 3 weeks ago... a bit confused with what supplier, pro / cons of each, etc. It's a bit of a minefield... you need to figure what you want from a provider - e.g. do you want additional support, a subscription (automatic delivery of your next higher dose), etc.

I placed an order with Zava and then I cancelled after a couple of days when I saw how they weren't communicating with their existing customers.

I then used click.compare/mounjaro/ to find an alternative provider and chose Ashcroft Pharmacy as they were one of the cheapest for 2.5mg (£120) at the time with a high trustpilot score. Ordered on a Tuesday (4pm/5pm) and received it on Thursday (12pm). FYI - their updated prices are ok as well.

In that case, Google to see if there’s a convenient pharmacy local to you which would prescribe. Book/drop in and get your first pen. There are lots of threads with advice here and also monthly threads for everyone starting that months. These are really helpful. Good luck. I’ve found it life-changing and hope you do too.

Thank you all ❤️💕
