Mounjaro availability, lack of

Yes, as expected, the shortage of GLP-1 related medicines is happening again.

My friendly local Tesco pharmacy assistant tells me that Mounjaro is under heavy demand by private patients, and Tesco is currently unable to source it from their suppliers.

It is suggested that those persons with diabetes who obtain Mounjaro on prescription should consider ordering their monthly pen sooner rather than later.

a wise post to warn others of possible shortages @John Gray
personally I’ve not experienced a supply problem myself (yet) through my pharmacy, however this time last year (before I was on Mounjaro) I was taking Trulicity
however after I had been on it for a few months, that became unavailable, then in June last year Mounjaro was suggested by my DSN

strangely I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine regarding shortage of Mounjaro only yesterday as he is having a problem buying it (on a private prescription) although who he buys it through they have told him they expect after 01/06 to have a better stock
 
Oh how frustrating @John Gray - just when supplies seemed to be fairly reliable for a while :(
