Can you buy Ozempic OTC in UK and if so where, what dose and what does it cost. I've done an online consultation with health express and it's £160 - is that for one week?

That's for a month. That's the only way to buy ozempic with an online prescription.

@MaireadMcSweeney thank you - that's a relief!

How would you know how many months you’d need?

LovelaceBiggWither · 06/04/2023 06:39

You don't know when you start. It could be years or it might be needed lifelong.

No point starting it unless you can commit financially to 6 months at least really.

I've just ordered the 1mg pen as it was same price as 0.5mg. £159.99 so I'll see how long it lasts.

No! You might lose quite a bit in the first month if you have a lot to lose but even if that's 10lbs for example is it worth paying £160 to lose 10lbs??
It's also not a magic fix. It requires head work as well as medication to maintain weight loss. The idea is that you take it long enough to change your habits and approach to eating.

You'll need extra needles from Amazon then as you can half dose
