Don't forget local independent pharmacies

I have used 2 online pharmacies (Oushk and IQDoctor) but I have now moved to a local independent pharmacy for my latest pen (month 12). Face to face consultation BP, weight and waist measurement . 12.5mg for £209 and they charge the same for 15mg. Monthly face to face checks. Advice on exercise, water, diet as you'd expect and guidance on target weight. A minor bonus was that the pharmacist thought I was much younger than I am and had to check my DoB! Taking that win while I can! Abd also made me feel really positive about the weight liss so far. So it might be worth checking what your local pharmacy offers and not just assuming online is best.

I looked at my local pharmacies when I first started over a year ago and they were ridiculously expensive for even the lowest dose, plus they don’t tend to put prices on their websites so I can’t just quickly check.

I hadn’t thought of this, thank you.
I’ve just ordered 12.5 at £203 as I had a discount code with PillSorted, but definitely something for next order.

I looked at local pharmacies In my area when I started 8 weeks ago and they were all a lot higher than online pharmacies. I would have definitely gone down that route otherwise

Our pharmacy literally 5 minutes walk away. I paid £169 for 5mg . So easy and absolutely no stress! Pen handed to me with a back up email confirmation.

I’ve googled and they’re all higher in price. It’s a shame, as the convenience factor must be off the scale! 👌
