    Any suggestions on being prescriberd Ozempic/ Mounjaro

    Hi everyone. I do not qualify for weight loss injectables from my GP. My specialist nurse recommends an injectable, but the GP does not do private prescriptions.

    Mounjaro for Type 2 Diabetes

You may need advice about your emotional health in addition to weight loss. If you get mounjaro you would want and need advice whilst taking it. I don't...

    Mounjaro for Type 2 Diabetes

    Unfortunately steroids do seem to have the effect of making people put on weight and even the consultants don't seem to have the answer as to how people can lose it again. You may need to look at your diet to see if there is anything additional there you can do to lose the weight. There are a...

    Pharmacy wouldn't prescribe Mounjaro

    I asked in my nominated pharamacy (Cohens Chemist) about mounjaro as they were advertising it among other treatments for weight loss when I went to pick up my metformin. At the time they scheduled me in for an appointment the following week for an elligibility assessment I'm guessing, however on...

    Mounjaro Monday - Week 26 update

    Hardly surprising exercise and activity had to take a bit of a back seat @Katetype2 I think most of the UK just hid indoors waiting for it all to be over! Good news that Mounjaro symptoms are still “nothing to report”

    Mounjaro Monday - Week 26 update

    ...I’m afraid I’ve skipped the gym and long walks this week. I just can’t face it in the blazing heat. I aim to go back to the gym tomorrow. Mounjaro symptoms wise - nothing to report at all. All in all, a bit of a ‘meh’ week - but I’m sure things will right themselves soon enough. Have a...

    Low blood sugars

    That’s why I said “insulin, etc” and clarified it wasn’t just insulin. The information is in the thread.

    Low blood sugars

    Just look at the earlier posts where gliclazide is mentioned and, to be fair, your post simply referred to "other medications" without clarification or mentioning gliclazide.

    Low blood sugars

    Given the OP isn’t sure if metformin and mounjaro can cause hypos I don’t think they’d have the experience to understand that “etc” means “gliclazide and other medications in that family but not in these other families”

    Low blood sugars

    I would have thought that the etc. includes other meds as referred to in earlier questions but no harm in clarifying.
