Maintenance providers

I am about half a stone from my target weight, currently just under BMI 23.

I have been looking through old threads re maintenance but doesnt look like there are many with up to date info.

Just wondered if anyone can recommend good providers for maintenance with low regular prices. I have a bit of a stock pile so want to start spreading out purchasing to maybe 6 weeks +.

Currently I've got 5mg pens but not gone higher than 3.75mg so dont have an issue with buying 2.5mg pens if I have a gap but just not 100% sure how it all works, do I need to have purchased from a provider previously in order to buy for maintenance purposes? I have been switching a lot to get best prices.

Thats great, thank you. Are you just buying a 2.5mg pen and using it for more weeks?

I’m buying 5mg pens and getting about 15 doses/weeks out of each. My supplier is aware and supportive, and I’ve chosen to accept this might mean the medicine becomes less effective the longer the pen is open. Of course I’m also being conscious of expiry dates.

Thats brilliant! I wasnt sure if anyone had been chancing it that long, that definitely makes it cost effective.
