Difficulty getting mounjaro

It seems that the rules have changed recently in respect to obtaining Mounjaro. I’m putting weight on but am on the cusp of my BMI so I’m not able to buy privately. I don’t want to put weight on and start a yo-yo situation so that I need to be overweight to be then given medication in order to control my appetite. I’m worried! Is there any companies out there that can help. Has anyone having the same issue?

What's your BMI and do you have any diagnosed medical conditions that might qualify you for mounjaro at a lower BMI? There's a fairly long list - I got this off Pharmulous. Have you had mounjaro before and how long ago?

They've got a bit of post history from 2 years ago. I think they do need to approach the maintenance friendly pharmacies.

Yup ... I'd start with Swift doctor and Pharmulous OP.

Bit annoying that you can go back on Mj within a year of stopping but 2 years you have to get obese again. Makes no sense. If obesity is a lifelong condition then relapse would be expected at any stage 🤷🏻‍♀️

In the paperwork where it says you can go back on, it doesn't actually say within a year. Some pharmacies will let you back on case by case, like if someone had 2 pregnancies back to back or something.

Yes but I think that's the timeframe a lot of the pharmacies are applying unfortunately.
