Ozempic - where to buy (no prescription)

[DrunkenSailor]

Please can someone advise where i can buy Ozempic pens privately at a relatively competitive price? Most of the online pharmacies i checked seem not to have it in stock. I dont have a prescription. I am in London, in case there are stores that stock it locally. I am about 20kgs overweight and would like to give this a try, post the usual online consultations. Thank you.

Isn't this prescription only? And not only that, but increases insulin, so more likely to lead to weight gain than weight loss?

@Nimbostratus100 no. Although primary use case is for diabetics, it suppresses appetite and leads to weight loss and is also prescribed for that.

Anyhow, still looking for leads on where to buy Ozempic

Won't you need a private prescription?

I get it from here. Eye wateringly expensive though.
www.myjuniper.co.uk. Good luck!

Sorry, try this www.myjuniper.co.uk

Good luck with the side effects....

I've got a pen. I'm starting after Christmas in case I throw up my Christmas dinner!
I got it from Quickmeds. They phone you after they've received your form and I specifically asked about supply. She breezily said "no, it's fine, we have plenty"

Please don't try to buy this online. It's a drug for diabetes with nasty side effects which should only be taken under medical supervision. You may need to lose weight, but taking a drug which makes you sick and have uncontrollable diarrhoea is a stupid way to do it. Believe me, I'm diabetic.

offer choice of either jab or oral tablet.

My nhs trust produced a report it can effect a diabetic’s eyes so I’m not sure I’d want it even if free on NHS.

On Saxenda privately (with Diabetic nurse knowing) very fortunately never had side effects. You can get Saxenda from high street chemists such as Lloyds so see someone in person as they offer a full support programme including weigh in I understand.

It’s a better option then surgery for obesity.

You’re very dramatic , is not only for diabetes but weight loss as well and it never gave me a bad stomach, in fact the side effects are less than Saxenda’s ones

I've been on the 0.25mg dose for the last month with very few side effects (a bit of nausea very occasionally) and have started on the 0.5mg dose today.

I read all the clinical trials first (on Medline/Pubmed - you can google them and read them too), and although some of the side effects can be uncomfortable, there are very few that are actually dangerous, and a lot of people don't have any.

Since the NHS only offers this to diabetics, I had to do it privately. Even though I've got a BMI of 43 and so am at high risk of diabetes (HBA1c mid range though so definitely not diabetic yet). But preventative medicine isn't something the NHS is good at sadly.

The thing that made me think I had to do something this extreme is listening to a podcast on BBC sounds given by the Van Tulleken brothers, identical twin doctors, one of who struggles with his weight. Part of the podcast was talking to various experts, including an obesity expert who said (and I might have got the numbers slightly wrong, but the basic point stands) that you have a 1 in 44,000 chance of getting from obese to a normal weight on a normal program of diet and exercise and staying that way for any length of time. Feel free to listen to it, it's eye opening.

So - obese for ever, with all that entails, or dangerous surgery, or a bit of cost and the odd bit of nausea - 🤔

It has been approved for weight loss by the way, just not for funding by the NHS

Yet

Numan online but more expensive
Lots of misinformation out there about incretins but good evidence base for weight loss and pcos insulin resistance.

and it isn’t in short supply for all of those people that think medication is being taken away from diabetics.

This does need to be prescribed but it can be by a prescribing pharmacist.

I would be very careful OP in just chasing the lowest price. This is not a cheap medication. I chose a specialist supplier where it was clear who I would be purchasing from, who was leading the medical advice and who was doing the prescribing.

I found a few cheaper where this was not clear at all or they were just connected to “aesthetics” which I would strongly avoid - you would have no idea where it was from, if genuine and if stored correctly (needs to be refrigerated).

It is in short supply. DH's diabetic nurse told him this when doing his repeat prescription.

there have been some supply issues but as far as I know the manufacturer has upped production and supply is ok now.

I get mine from a company called MedicalWeightLoss4You. I also used one called The Virtual Slimming Clinic.

I have lost almost three stone since last January. Had couple of breaks and it takes a bit of time to get back into it. But I am pretty happy with the results. My main side effect is constipation.

I didnt have those side effects and it worked well, my trouble was I wasnt consistent in taking it, it also gave me very slight constipation which was manageable. I should have stuck at it really. It was revolutionary.

Hi OP - we have a support thread going called “I started Ozempic last night” and some recommendations of where to buy it. A lot of us are buying through my juniper and a few of us have a code we can share for £50 off your first order.

@StuckInTheUpsideDown thank you. Where do you order from?

@HermioneWeasley thanks - i will dm you to request a code. Much appreciated

May I also have the code for £50 off please to buy Ozempic through my juniper ?

Hi, I'd be grateful for the code too 😊

Can you please dm me the code too. Thanks 🙏🏽
