DH has had a full checkup, blood tests as well. GP very happy for him to buy treatments. All the websites are saying too old

Have you tried Asda? The info on their website says suitable for 18 to 85 years of age for Mounjaro.

Asda Online Doctor

https://onlinedoctor.asda.com/uk/weight-loss-treatment.html

You can click and collect any prescriptions at an Asda instore pharmacy, if that's easier than getting it delivered.

Try Oushk, they are a supportive pharmacy

I get mine from a local independent pharmacy so that might be an option? Their blurb says they prescribe for the first time from 18-80.

Juniper prescribed it to my mum when she was 79

Fatmumslim01 · 27/02/2026 17:44

Asda, not the cheapest though!

My husband is 79, was prescribed

Another one saying check your local pharmacies. I get mine locally, and meet with the pharmacist every 4 weeks so treatment can be reviewed. It’s very reassuring, particularly if you’re in any other medications.
