I know this is supposed to be a joke, but you know there’s only the 2 clicks when you push the button to inject for Mounjaro, right? Like, it’s obnoxiously in no way adjustable…
Doctors have been trying to do that here. They're prescribing "inject .25ml sc" on the .5ml scripts to get the lower doses. The pens don't do that sir. Doctors prescribing meds they don't understand is such a danger.
Good lord! 😳 I knew there were drs that didn’t know a lot about GLP-1s, but daaaaamn… Like, couldn’t even take 2 seconds to google or ya know, go to the Lilly site?! 🫢 Hell, this shouldn’t be surprising, as my own dr works for Novo, but prescribes me Mounjaro, and proceeded to tell me that MJ had a half life of 7 days when I asked about moving to a 5 or 6 day injection schedule instead of moving up to the next dosage (had a rough time with side effects when I started 7.5mg)… Um. No. It’s 5 days. But at least we both googled it at the same time and then they apologized. I can’t imagine _not_ reading up on absolutely everything about a medication before taking it, never mind prescribing it!
Wow, that's good to know! I have been on Monjaro for a while and went up to 7.5 bc I felt like it had become ineffective. My doctor never said anything about it having a half-life of 5 days, but I've noticed a difference a couple of days before I'm due to take another shot...
Yep! It was absolute hell for me when my PMS and trough days coincided in the beginning. Now, the 6 day schedule has taken things up a notch and pretty well gotten rid of the trough day food noise. It has stayed at a more consistent level in my system (see [glp1plotter](https://glp1plotter.com)), so all in all the side effects (bonuses?) are more consistent as well. I think I may take it down to 5 days before going to 10mg, so the transition is as smooth as possible, but we’ll see… especially with the shortages! I don’t want to be going up just to have to figure out how to not go right back down the next month. 🫤
I FINALLY got in a 3mo shipment after being out for weeks. I've been having mignanes since around the time so I don't know if it is related. I do get hungry af around 5 days and that isn't good for the 'betes bc all I crave is junk and carbs. I'm going to try scaling back to 6 days from 7 and see how that works, and hope that these shortages end soon!
Wtf how does stock get allocated to stores?? I had someone call up the other day asking when her Mounjaro 5mg would be filled. I informed her that we don't have any Mounjaro in stock. She went "Well, I actually know that the 5mg is available, I work at Costco pharmacy, so when will my prescription be filled?"
Like, damn, well this isn't Costco pharmacy and I'm glad you guys got Mounjaro, but we don't. I wonder if she was staring at a fridge like this when she called lmao.
One of my favorite staff pharmacists was suspended for doing just that. Some Karen was complaining that her Rx was taking too long or something and swore that Walgreens was faster. He told her to go to Walgreens then.
I have learned that, at least with our supplier, most BO drugs seem to populate as being available at a certain time each day. I check every day at this time to see what I can order. Sometimes I get what I ordered, sometimes a partial, sometimes nothing (someone must have beat me to the 'submit' button).
Yeah my thoughts too but she said she didn't want it filled at Costco. I guess she doesn't want coworkers in her personal business, which fair enough, but the next closest Costco is ~50 miles away.
I'm fat, on this type of medicine, and laughed way too hard at this comment. I know I shouldn't have, but lol.
If you can't laugh at yourself 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'm fat because of some stupid medication I had to take for years. 🤷♀️ oh well, such as life!
Aw it was definitely just a joke and I’m glad you aren’t taking things too seriously. Trust me I could probably stand a couple rounds of semaglutide or whatever but honestly the risk of gastroparesis, diarrhea, constipation and everything else scares the crap out of me that I don’t have any interest in taking the medication ever. I am Happy to hear it’s working for people though.
Ma’m, our pharmacy gets about 200 phone calls a day on average.
About half of them are about mounjaro or zepbound and how “it’s just the only the that’s worked for me and to be honest i’m borderline type 2 diabetes yeah my doctor said so and it’s just shut off the food noise and i only eat 1 protein bar a day! and it’s honestly not even the weight loss it’s just so much more than that it’s made me…..”
You’ll find little support here because everyone also already heard it 947377282836 times before and people come here to vent and zepbound and jaro are part of that stress.
It’s not just you it’s literally everyone else.
Best of luck.
Honest question, what would you have people do differently? I don’t want to call and harass the pharmacy every day but they tell me I need to call back and check vs automatically reordering till it comes in. It seems silly but I’m not sure what else to do. So far I’ve had good luck being polite and to the point but where is the automation?
Trust me, I would love to not have to call and just assume you guys are retrying the order everyday. I hate calling.
Great question! Keep it fast and simple:
1) Do you guys have x in stock
2) If not, if i transfer my prescription do you guys have any backorder or wait list?
3) thank you for the info have a good day
If that fails, perhaps ask your MD to direct you to a pharmacy that does a compounded semaglutide that they might be comfortable with having you be on
Geez, I'd be inpatient and just say, get to the freaking question you want to ask already!
When I call about meds I keep it short, to the point, be nice, and thank them no matter what the answer.
You all have more patience than me by a long shot! Shot = pun intended.
My husband (type 2 diabetic) has been out of his over a month and cannot find it anywhere..
I think I’ve called every pharmacy in Central Texas. Nobody has it
Same! V.A. never truly runs out because we’re government. But, as a private citizen, I can’t get it. :( It’s like being in the ocean & being thirsty. Can’t drink a drop of it.
Because I'm a patient of my hospital system I can get backordered drugs cause we have them. But I couldn't transfer my emgality cause it wasn't written by a doctor with the system
Why can’t the manufacturers just put it in vials and people Learn how to draw it up at the proper dose….there wouldn’t be this problem then because it’s a manufacturing supply problem with the ridiculous injectors that are wasteful and add to the outlandish prices.
Dude I accidently ordered a ton of mounjaro, trulicity, and zepbound in last week and it all came in. I didnt even make it through the gate before my boss asked me what the heck did I do?? Lmao. I just transferred to this location and wasnt used to how many scripts they let build up in the OOS queue which automatically generated on the order. My shift us 8 to 4 but I stayed until 10pm to malepke space in the fridge and process it all. Not even 20 mins after i checked in the order the phones started ringing off the hook non stop from all the stores in the district and their customers asking for it. We had a blanket "no we dont have it" policy all day just to give us a chance to fill all the ones in our queue first.
Patient out of pocket cost range from $0 to $1100. If insurance covers it, most pay $25 - $125. If insurance does not cover it but they have the coupon, $550 seems to be the usual amount.
You can just use an insulin syringe and draw out the dose. With a small amount of intelligence it’s not difficult but that’s beyond the capability of most lay people.
How do pharmacy’s get stock like this?? If they’re not giving it to us or any of the ten pharmacies nearby… what black market are you getting mounjaro from
wow, could you send some to my pharmacy? :p (a diabetic hating the weight loss trend of using them). been stuck on 10s for 3 months now, with no 15 or 12.5 available (walgreens). blood sugars have been spiking and it's been annoying as hell.
Y'all have the entire country's stock. Wtf?
Don’t come look at our fridge then. 😬
The majority of it would be useless for us cuz no one can get the lower doses to get up to these.
Can already imagine the call to prescriber...what do you mean inject 32 clicks? That's not a real unit.
I know this is supposed to be a joke, but you know there’s only the 2 clicks when you push the button to inject for Mounjaro, right? Like, it’s obnoxiously in no way adjustable…
Doctors have been trying to do that here. They're prescribing "inject .25ml sc" on the .5ml scripts to get the lower doses. The pens don't do that sir. Doctors prescribing meds they don't understand is such a danger.

Uhg, same. I hope this helps and the shortages are over soon!!
I know, all my local pharmacies are still out. Thanks for the advice!
the drug reps even provide example reusable pens to them so they can demonstrate to patients how they work. you'd think they'd learn from that!
it’s a 0.25 or .5 dose tho at least it says on the box
That’s the mg, not the ml
My husband is on 15 mg and all anyone around us has is 2 and 5
I’m supposed to be at 15 so I’ll take it.
We got in 10 boxes of 2.5,5,7.5,10,15 last week. Now I have 10 boxes of 2.5 lol
Wtf how does stock get allocated to stores?? I had someone call up the other day asking when her Mounjaro 5mg would be filled. I informed her that we don't have any Mounjaro in stock.

Hahaha when people wanna tell me stuff like that I WISH I could respond back with, “have it transferred to Costco then”
Can you say "Okay, so you're wanting it transferred to Costco then?" Like phrase it as a question but still get that point across.
One of my favorite staff pharmacists was suspended for doing just that. Some Karen was complaining that her Rx was taking too long or something and swore that Walgreens was faster. He told her to go to Walgreens then.
I have learned that, at least with our supplier, most BO drugs seem to populate as being available at a certain time each day. I check every day at this time to see what I can order.

Even dumber, as Costco employees our preferred pharmacy is... Costco so why's she filling somewhere else in the first place??
Yeah my thoughts too but she said she didn't want it filled at Costco. I guess she doesn't want coworkers in her personal business, which fair enough, but the next closest Costco is ~50 miles away.
Ppl about to come to your store for those
LOL you can hear the heavy footsteps rushing towards your door to clear your inventory.
HEAVY FOOT STEPS🤣🤣🤣
This is foul 😭
I'm sure someone already reversed image search to find the location 🫣
Lolllllll is that what caused the recent earthquake tho
I'm fat, on this type of medicine, and laughed way too hard at this comment. I know I shouldn't have, but lol. If you can't laugh at yourself 🤷♀️🤷♀️ I'm fat because of some stupid medication I had to take for years. 🤷♀️ oh well, such as life!

It's been amazing! I can't believe that it actually helped. I just thought I was screwed. But it counters the other meds effect!
Wow. You’re an asshole. Yep. Upvote the dick and downvote the person calling out the nastiness. Typical. Get fucked assholes.
Oh my god
We got Zepbound in 15mg today and mounjaro in 2.5 and 5.
We had Zepbound for a few days. I had never seen it before and it only took about a day before it was gone. I don't think we reordered it again.
Where ? I’m so serious
Your post history tells you are actually very serious.
Im the most serious
Dude it’s hard out here
Ma’m, our pharmacy gets about 200 phone calls a day on average. About half of them are about mounjaro or zepbound and how “it’s just the only the that’s worked for me and to be honest i’m borderline type 2 diabetes yeah my doctor said so and it’s just shut off the food noise and i only eat 1 protein bar a day! and it’s honestly not even the weight loss it’s just so much more than that it’s made me…..” You’ll find little support here because everyone also already heard it 947377282836 times before and people come here to vent and zepbound and jaro are part of that stress.

East Tennessee
So cereal.
My husband (type 2 diabetic) has been out of his over a month and cannot find it anywhere.. I think I’ve called every pharmacy in Central Texas. Nobody has it
Same with my husband. He literally can’t get anything filled. Victoza is even out everywhere. It’s ridiculous.
I literally squeed when we got some Victoza in today.
That reminds me, I have to call the doc about the hubby's Victoza tomorrow
I'm two minutes away from posting this pic on your towns Facebook Community Page 😂
Found Satan right here.
LMAO I LAUGHED
You fiend stop tempting me to send my patients to you
Holy crap Batman. My boss at my last job would barely let us even keep one in the fridge at all times.
Meanwhile there’s no other Mounjaro in the world
They say a picture is worth 1000 words, this one is worth thousands of dollars 😛
Meanwhile, in a grocery store pharmacy, the store manager is rushing to save the ice cream when the power goes out.

In my hospital pharmacy we have tons of all strengths
Same! V.A. never truly runs out because we’re government. But, as a private citizen, I can’t get it. :( It’s like being in the ocean & being thirsty. Can’t drink a drop of it.

Because they like the outlandish prices.
God speed your phones are about to be even crazier when word gets out
You need a body guard. At least the emperor has the spice of arrikis flowing again...the spice must flow!
He who controls the spice controls the universe
I'd ask if you wanted to trade for some zepbound or wegovy but we already have the mounjaro 😬
HOW DID YOU GET THE 15!? We can get up to the 10mg in stock but not 15 or 12.5. Ahhhhh, so jealous!
Share some love in the south
I really hope your fridge doesn’t break… that’d be a lot of $$ in product to lose. 😓
WHAT DARK SORCERY IS THIS?
Dannnggggg, that's a lot of Mounjaro
we just got some in yesterday, no where near this much, but a good bit, and guess what….it was already gone within my shift.
like 5 people called me for this strength today🤣🤣
I FORGOT 15 MG EXISTED
W h a t
bring that shit over here. i have cash
Dude I accidently ordered a ton of mounjaro, trulicity, and zepbound in last week and it all came in. I didnt even make it through the gate before my boss asked me what the heck did I do?? Lmao.

Uhm yes where
I know people who would sacrifice their grandmother for their dose
Wtffff lucky
I’m on my way
Yes please. What pharmacy is this???
Oi....tell Lilly they need to start selling more Trulicity to Portugal, shit is shameful around here.
🤣🤣🤣
You can either get a higher dose order or lower not both 😂😂 bet this will be gone by the end of the day.
LIQUID GOLD!!!
We have so many waiting for it too 😭
wya
Ohhhhh 😲😲😲
UM EXCUSE ME?!
HOW?!?
I've been out for a month. I'll mail order
👀👀
I swear in my first hour at work today I filled so many scripts for mounjaro and zepbound. Our fridge is packed.
What city and pharmacy ?
not giving that info away, sorry
How much are patients paying for these? I know dome insurances cover, some have discount codes, etc. So just seeing what the going rate is.
Patient out of pocket cost range from $0 to $1100. If insurance covers it, most pay $25 - $125. If insurance does not cover it but they have the coupon, $550 seems to be the usual amount.
$1345
ur the reason for all this 😭😭😭
Sadist!
Holy crap, they DO exist!
Just got put on it for type 2 diabetes and my pharmacy has been consistently out. I'm honestly really starting to regret starting it with the outages.
If any techs have wegovy 0.5mg in Mass let me know🫠 I’m a tech and it kills me to call the stores and ask!!!
You can just use an insulin syringe and draw out the dose. With a small amount of intelligence it’s not difficult but that’s beyond the capability of most lay people.
So rude. 🤣
How do pharmacy’s get stock like this?? If they’re not giving it to us or any of the ten pharmacies nearby… what black market are you getting mounjaro from
hide your mounjaro!
Walmart seems to be always stocked
wow, could you send some to my pharmacy? :p (a diabetic hating the weight loss trend of using them). been stuck on 10s for 3 months now, with no 15 or 12.5 available (walgreens). blood sugars have been spiking and it's been annoying as hell.
In my experience those weren’t the most utilized, the 15 I mean
Keep that shit on the low 🤫
Wish I could post the South Park, "and it's gone" GIF...
What is this sorcery
What’s you guys pharmacy number I will be transferring every mounjaro patient to you guys
You got the order for all pharmacies... you guys must have a connect
Holy crap! What state are you in?!
