Ozempic Price increase

I’ve just finished week four on 0.25 so have gone back to mybmi.co.uk to request 0.5mg. They have quoted me £229! I paid £129 for my first lot with them but am staggered that they have quoted me this! Is that the norm for 0.5mg?

To be honest @Modda I probably wouldn’t try it at the moment purely due to the shortages.

is there a reason you want Ozempic rather than Saxenda? They are very similar and essentially do the same thing. Saxenda is a daily jab rather than weekly. But there don’t seem to be any shortages. It’s available from Lloyds pharmacies and Superdrug and I think has a bit of support along with it if you get through their weigh loss clinics.

I've not heard of the other one tbh but if it's the same I will investigate. Thank you.

As a diabetic I have been on it for the last few years now it is out of stock was told they had the 0.25 does and to get my doctor to change it to that I did so but by time I went back to pharmacy was out of stock. Do not know when it will be back in stock. Hopefully metformin will control my blood sugars but scared of gaining weight I lost or even more and of being hungry again. All my doctor said was your levels are good but might not stay that way off the meds. I hope they get back in stock soon.
