As there are no 1.0 pens anywhere, what's your plan?

[LemonB]

After excellent progress on Ozempic which has brought me out of the obese category, I can no longer find the 1.0 pens anywhere - indeed, they are completely out of stock online across the UK.

I know there are a lot of posters who are on 1.0 on here and I wondered what your plan is? I know the tablets are an option but the highest tablet dosage is equivalent to only a 0.5 dosage which I don't feel would have much/any effect on me.

Hoping for a solution I haven't thought of!

Check quickmeds from about six pm daily and register for the alerts there. It’s never taken me more than a few days to find them in stock there, but I source the next one as soon as I start the new one so I’ve got time if I need it.

Have you ordered from Health Express? If so you should be able to get one from there. It shows as out of stock online, but if you log in and go to your order list, there’s a reorder button next to your last order, and that shows as available to order.

Yes I’ve been buying from Health Express - they are completely out, have been for the past week at least and say they have no idea when they’ll be getting new stock!

I’ve been trying QuickMeds at 6pm but the website crashes/ won’t load for me. On multiple browsers and devices.

Try it again a few minutes later. I managed to order one at about 6.20 last week. If you persevere you should be able to get one from quickmeds. Good luck.

That’s odd! They actually emailed me yesterday and reminded me to order - just tried and it seems to be going through ok.

Are you going through the reorder button? I know previously they’ve reserved stock for existing customers.

Yep I’ve been trying the re-order button about six times a day for the past week or so and just get this…

Did you know that all the people getting it for off licence use ...have created such a shortage that people dependent on it for licenced reasons like diabetes management now can't get it ?

Hopefully this will stop when wegovy properly comes to the uk, to split out supply for diabetics vs supply for weight loss. I can’t imagine any decent prescribers will keep prescribing off label once there’s an alternative, even if it is the same drug.

Still no joy with QuickMeds or HealthExpress.

For the past few weeks I’ve eked out my pen and am having 0.75 every 9 days but I’m about to use the last drop 😔

If anyone has found a stockist <£200 in the last few days please share!

Hi OP - I got mine (delivered yesterday) from My BMI who I have been with since late last year. Not sure if they're taking on new patients at the moment though. Good luck - fingers crossed you can get some

@LemonB HealthExpress have stock!

had an email this morning reminding me to complete my order…..clicked and it’s gone through!

Thank heavens for health express!!
