Switching providers

5 replies

I am currently with Voy and wanted a provider that didn’t tell my GP. I am now a healthy BMi but want to switch due to cost - thinking about Swift Dr - but they want me to upload a video. I don my look big, but want to lose another 12 pounds and then maintain for a bit. I’m only on 2.5mg and plan to stay there.

Will Swift Dr prescribe if I have a current prescription at a healthy BMI (24). Or any other provider which is cheaper than Voy and doesn’t inform your GP?

The video requirement to switch is pretty much universal now, my last switch was at BMI 22.5 and I had to do a video, stating my name and DOB, showing my weight on my scales. Also had to upload a picture of my last box with prescription date on it.
I thought most providers didn’t tell GP unless you tick the box saying you want them to?

That was for Farmeci

Swift Doctor will certainly prescribe at BMI 24, the video requirement is to check that your BMI is what you say it is by checking your weight on scales, not a visual check of whether you look big.

I was BMI 24.6 when I joined Swift Doctor, they had no problems with my video, included proof of previous prescription and other information they requested in a fairly standard online consultation. Order was approved, processed and dispatched the next day.

Thanks everyone. I’ve just competed the online forms and paid. Waiting for a clinician to review now then to cancel with Voy. Hopefully it’ll be approved, they are so much cheaper.
