Cheaper alternative to WLI

[Rainydays26]

Hi 👋
Just wanted to let people know about a cheaper option that WLI as they are quite expensive to some people. They are called mysimba. The most they can cost is 100 a month. So quite a but cheaper than WLI. They do have their pros and cons. Some people are fine on them some are not. Side effects were quite strong for me so I lowered the dose. And built up very slowly.

I lost fast to start with but its slowed right down now. I have lost just under 5 stone,so far.

That’s not cheaper than WLI (and your post looks like an ad).

Its not an add.
It is cheaper? As with mysimba is can't cost any more that 100 a month. With WLI the higher the dose the more it cost.

With shopping around for new customer discounts Wegovy is about the same price and doesn’t have as many contraindications as MySimba nor as many possible side effects. And it is significantly more effective. I’m sure there’s a place for MySimba but it’s not something that I would suggest unless there was a reason why Wegovy was not a possibility.

You haven’t said what ‘they’ are?

@caefe MySimba is a weight loss tablet that contains two chemicals, naltrexone and bupropion, which affect appetite. It’s an older medication than the recent GLP1 injections and tablets, and works very differently.

I get that there are deals for people starting but the price still gos up and can become to much money for some people. Some people get on with them some don't. I have lost a stone 5 stone so they can work. There can be unpleasant side effects to start. Then it eases. But that also depends on the person.

I'm definitely glad I used them. I wouldn't have been able to afford WLI as the dose gets higher and I would have had to stop and wouldn't have lost what I have.

Deals are not just for those starting, anyone can get a new customer discount by changing pharmacies. Even if you don’t get a discount, the cheapest provider of Wegovy does the 2.4mg highest dose for £135 which is not a huge amount more than the £100 you mention for MySimba.

Average weight loss on MySimba is 5% of starting weight, compared to 14% on Wegovy injections.

I’m glad it’s working for you, but it’s still not something I would suggest over Wegovy given that Wegovy is comparable in price and three time more effective with less side effects and contraindications.

I get you to am extent. Yes i get the injections may be better. But your only a new customer for so long. And the price does go up.

I'm in mo way saying mysimba is better. But it can work. I can only go ftom my own experience. I have lost alost 5 stone. I won't be the only person who's lost quirk alot of weight on it.

I'm not shouting from the hill tops day dump your injections cone and take mysimba. Im jyst suggesting another option that maybe more affordable for some people. Or there could be other reasons.

Yes mysimb can have some side effdcts. But so do injections they both have a list of possible side effdcts.

Its not a competition snd which one is the best. I'm just saying there are othet choices rather than justinjections if for what ever reason they can't use the injection.. I'f my income was better I myself would probably choose injections. But I'm not in work so financially mysimba works for me.

Sorry for typos/spelling is csn hardly see the letters

Well it is a competition really as is any consumer choice. £100 for a moderately effective medication or £200 for a much more powerful one.
Personally I’d do 6 months on a GLP. Better value in the long run. Well done on your weight loss.
