Switching providers now BMI 27?

i got prescribed MJ at BMI 30.5 and have lost just over a stone. I’m tall so my BMI already somehow 27ish. I’m with Lloyds I tried to swap to Asda but they have rejected me twice as saying now my BMI is too low to accept me even though I’m already on it. I have 2 more stone to lose to get my BMI under 25 and then I will plan for long term maintenance ideally. Was thinking oushk for maintenance but wanted to try a cheaper but reputable provider in meantime. Know any that will accept transfers if their BMI now under 30? Too many horror stories at medexpress (plus they rejected me when my BMI was 30 which I found odd.

Swift Doctor & Pharmulous are discussed on here a lot for maintenance. Which I presume means they will accept you at 27 BMI with proof of previous prescription. Both have very good reviews and prices.

I’ve used pharmacy2u & Simple online when my bmi was 23. Just had to send proof of previous prescription. I’m sure there are lots more that would accept you at bmi 27 with proof you are already taking it though.

IQ Doctor and Medicine Marketplace both accepted me switching with a lower BMI as long as I provided proof of previous prescription. Both much cheaper than Lloyds and Asda, where you will be paying over the odds.

I switched to Lotus with a BMI of 27 after providing proof of previous prescription. So far, they have been great!

Pretty much any pharmacy other than Asda and Medexpress will take on patients under 30bmi with proof of previous prescription.

Have a look at Pharmulous, Swift Dr or WePrescribe.

There's a maintenance page on monj.co.uk that gives the lowest bmi you can join providers at. There's plenty of options so don't worry.

Wrprescribe. Message me if you want a code. They also do maintenance

Oushk is known for their maintenance plans and many move over to them for it. Not sure why no-one had already mentioned it. They will accept you over a bmi of 21 and prescribe down to bmi 19. You will have to prove some evidence like photos or emails of prescriptions or boxes. They also have a permanent discount available on the top of their website and with maintenance you get a further discount.

Don't bother with superdrug, they don't prescribe below 25.
