Last ordered 23 aug how long can I leave before next order

[Fatmumslim01]

My last prescription (7.5mg) is dated 23 aug and is from Asda.

I switch suppliers each month to get the best price, I still have 2 doses left in my current pen so was hoping to hold out a bit longer until I get paid in a week but will that be too long does anyone know? I'll be using a different provider and hoping to go up to 10mg

I think a number are being more flexible as they know people bought extra pens in late August but it’s going to depend on who you move to and what their policy is.

You are already 5 weeks from your last prescription (unless you have proof you ordered that pen early/didn't start until later). It will really be down to each prescriber to make the decision, and polices at different pharmacies will differ.

The combination of a move of supplier/new patient consultation, delay in reordering (delivery will be 6-7 weeks from last prescription) AND a dose increase to one of the higher doses might be a bit tricky.

I'm hoping to go with "we prescribe" if anyone knows their policy or where to find on website etc?

They are usually flexible, I stayed with them for that reason. Message me if you want a referral code. If you email, they are usually quite quick at responding too
