Ready to start on WLI but where do I start?

I've decided to do it and start on Mounjaro but how do I decide on which provider/ supplier?
Do I need one with medical support or is that information not necessary?
Any codes for newbies? (If allowed to ask)

Well, all pharmacies will provide information and support in relation to the prescriptions they give out. I personally don’t see the need for anything more than that, and haven’t seen any “support” package that’s worth the extra expense. I just choose based on price, GPhC inspection reports and Trust Pilot reviews.

What sort of medical support did you have in mind?

Have you seen the price comparison website https://monj.co.uk/mounjaro-price-comparison-by-monj/ which lists GPhC registered pharmacies and shows you the discounted prices and how to access them. You will only get the discounted price on your first order, after that you need to check the retail prices. Or you can swap to a new pharmacy and get their new customer discount.

Thank you @SilenceInside
It was a friend who used She med who said about the medical support. I wondered how much I need it.

I’ve been on Mounjaro for 2 years and haven’t needed any medical support. SheMed are a subscription service and are considerably more admin heavy than an ordinary pharmacy. You’d need to be clear if you can cancel the subscription, how much it would cost you to do so etc if you found their “support” to be unnecessary. Also read their full terms and conditions, they tend to want to control what dose you’re on and when/if you move up. That’s a hard no for me!
