Any reason to avoid certain pharmacies for weight loss injections?

I've had two pens so far, one from Asda and one with first time discount from Med express. I want to keep using whichever pharmacy has a good offer on the Monj website but I thought I would just check if anyone would advise avoiding any particular options. I'm guessing they're all pretty ok if they're on the Monj site and have their trust pilot score.
TIA.

I've had no issues with any and I've been through

Superdrug
Medicine Marketplace (I've stayed with them for most of the higher doses because the price is more consistent)
Pharmacy2U
Chemist4U
Zava
Bolt
IQ Doctor
MedExpress

I just avoid the expensive subscription ones with “support” that I don’t need. And any with lots of recent bad trust pilot reviews or ones that have recently failed a GPhC inspection.

I have bought my first one (and just ordered my second one) with My London Pharmacy. Reliable, and professional (before starting WLI, i was really concerned about dodgy providers but i can see MLP does all checks they are meant to do).

While you are still eligible as a new patient there is no need to be loyal to one provider.

Personally I would avoid subscription based ones as they just sound like a faff for a one off order unless a good deal.

Once you get to a lower BMI start looking to settle at one that is maintenance friendly

I avoid Superdrug and boots due to inflated costs, med express are really shite, and don’t support maintenance.

Thanks. I won't go back to med express because they are so expensive without the first buyer discount. I'm going to work through the ones on monj.co.uk that are cheaper but just want to make sure to avoid any that have been rubbish.

Medexpress have supported my maintenance dose and never had any problems with them.
