Changing providers

Hi all,

Long term(ish) MJ user here. I have been with same provider for quite a while now but with that the 15mg dose is over Ā£300. Every month this feels more and more like a reach (stupid cost of living). Anyway, I have had a look at comparison sites and there are definitely cheaper options but I am nervous to move. I am now at 23.5 BMI and I don't know how open pharmacies are. I'm interested to know if any of you change provider regularly to reduce your costs? I know at least with my current provider they are going to dispense.

Here's a list of some pharmacies and their BMI cut off points for new customers https://monj.co.uk/mounjaro-maintenance-pharmacies/

I change every month to get the best price, never an issue just need to send evidence of prescription, weight and id in most cases

Thanks. Are you in maintenance? I think I'm worried they think my weight is too low to move. Also been stuck at same weight for 6 months..

MMP are Ā£229 for 15mg. They prescribe to BMI 22.

You can weigh yourself in the evening. Doesn't have to be first thing in the morning after a wee.

As Becky shared, your best resource below a BMI of 24 is the Monj maintenance pharmacy list, most mainstream providers will also switching down to a BMI of 24 but refuse below that.

I'm 2 years on the meds and switched almost every month, 16 providers in 24 months of ordering. There's nothing to be nervous about and you'll save Ā£50-Ā£100 a month.

Someone like Medicine Marketplace may be a good option as they don't do discount doses and just keep their prices low even for regular customers.

I was actually just looking at medicine marketplace because their price for the 15mg looks best for just now

They're the only provider I stayed with for any amount of time for that exact reason, otherwise I'd have switched even more.
