I agree. Bad really idea.

They're a sticking plaster and unless the individual changes their lifestyle you're gonna need a lot of plasters.
Maybe for extreme cases these are a good idea with strict rules but giving them out like sweets is a bad really idea, I think Streeting gets this.
Question pls - Aren’t they meant to be weekly? Also where do you buy from? Maybe @Commander can advise a couple of sites too?I’m 2 weeks into my first dose of Mounjaro, my appetite is suppressed massively, I just don’t get hungry now, lost about 1/2 a stone in two weeks and no side effects at all, whether that changes as the dosage is increased remains to be seen.
It wont be for everyone but for me it’s brilliant.
I’ve struggled with weight gain since I retired from playing rugby, and with a broken body after 35 years of playing I’ve struggled to lose the timber despite swimming everyday.
Yeah you get a months supply of weekly injections, each month the dosage increases.Question pls - Aren’t they meant to be weekly? Also where do you buy from? Maybe @Commander can advise a couple of sites too?
Mounjaro is weekly. I think the previous generation (Wegovy, Ozempic etc) were/are daily but that seems like a faff. There are plenty of reputable outlets including Boots and Asda. MedExpress was mentioned. I’m going to use Simple Online Pharmacy because my sister in law used them and recommends them. The price also seems lower than most. £130 for a month's supply (using their £10 off voucher code).Question pls - Aren’t they meant to be weekly? Also where do you buy from?

I barely drink now on Mounjaro, I just don't fancy a beer.I am thinking of trying mounjaro but it is expensive out here, twice the price. I am hoping it suppresses alcohol as well as food intake, anyone know? I know everyone mentions that once you stop you can put the weight back on but surely your stomach has shrunk considerably and you need to continue whatever you were doing whilst on the injection to keep it that way. Although this will involve will power...
It’s worth checking the Mounjaro subforum on Reddit. If you search for alcohol you’ll find a lot of discussion. In a nutshell, most people say they’ve lost interest in drinking, either going from excessive to a small amount, or from a small amount to zero. But some people do report that it’s had no impact on drinking so it’s dependent on the individual. A lot of people report a reduction in obsessive/addictive behaviour generally, whether that’s drinking, drug-taking and even gambling according to one person who previously had a problem. Again, none of this means that you will be the same. Just depends on the individual. I’m certainly interested in this aspect as I drink too much. Not alcohol-dependent as I always have a couple of days off per week without missing it but I still think I drink too much, and will be interested to see if my desire to drink wine most evenings remains or diminishes.I am thinking of trying mounjaro but it is expensive out here, twice the price.

I drink too much but that's partially out of boredom. I live abroad and family at in UK and there not much to do in the week here. I don't want to stop drinking and only need to due to the belly and double chin. I have had many blood tests and biopsies over the last 5 years and know that I am pretty healthy, surprisingly to at least my wife! I would be happy if the urge was supposed but that will mean staying in every evening on my own, so not great!It’s worth checking the Mounjaro subforum on Reddit.

Is one angle.The fact that there is a shortage of these meds for the people they are meant for and need them because some people can’t get off the couch, tells us all we need to know about the drug, its manufacturers, and their objectives.
I worry hugely when I read about people buying meds off the internet.I know 3 people who have taken these drugs. All 3 have had had amazing results. One had some side effects, the other two didn't. All 3 purchased on the internet.
I realise that goes against pretty much everything said in the thread so far, but that is my experience of it.
From any Internet outlet including legit companies such as Boots or Asda?I worry hugely when I read about people buying meds off the internet.
I was asked recently to consult for 'Dr Xand' and his TV programme about drug safety. I rather confused them when I pointed out that the two cases filmed (both about people having unexpected adverse effects) were not the same. The one where a person got a bit ill was over a prescription drug, prescribed by a doctor. The one where the person ended up losing a kidney was over some shit they bought on the internet. The programme makers were attempting to conflate the two issues and seem to have been befuddled by my response.
I would urge against buying any meds. let alone injectables, over the internet. The immediate effects my be lovely, but over the following weeks and months you have no idea....
No. Boots and Asda in the UK can sell only substances that are approved as 'over the counter' non prescription items, and most of these are either long established things like aspirin, or are classed as dietary supplements, not medicines.From any Internet outlet including legit companies such as Boots or Asda?
Tks, I’ve got a pretty simplistic view of weight loss - burn more calories than you take in and the vast majority of people will lose weight (I was 18st in my early 30s, now around 12st). That said, my weight more or less plateaued years ago despite a lot of running (60+ mpw), because I eat too much crap (and too much full stop). I‘m now running much less so have to eat less…….you can’t outrun a bad diet
Yeah I'm not saying it is a good idea! Just that I know 3 people that have done it and all had excellent results.I worry hugely when I read about people buying meds off the internet.
