    Hey. Does anyone have a way of sourcing Mounjaro from the UK and getting it to Ireland for personal use?

    Thanks

    I’ve seen it discussed that some people order it online and get it delivered via address pal. The bigger question is why Mounjaro (and the higher doses of ozempic (>1mg)) are not available here. They were approved for use here two years ago.

    has anyone used address pal for this and how much are customs?

    DMCA - you can get it from Corrys Chemist in the North, and they will courier it down to you. Definitely cheaper than buying it here, and similar to the prices you'd get quoted from Zavamed or any of the online pharmacies in England. You will need a paper prescription from a doctor though (either north or south). I don't think they accept an online diagnosis.

    I haven't heard of anyone going through the online pharmacies in the UK and getting it successfully delivered here through AddressPal. Revenue seem to check everything going through addresspal nowadays in order to impose a customs charge, and I doubt you'd be allowed to import medication.

    Hello, this could be a little old but MyBMI operate an accessible service to ROI. They do a consultation with you, charge 100 euro and then provide you with a script that will be fullfilled by ePharmNI. They will then ship via DPD using chilled packaging. The price for ePharmNI is 150 euro per pen. In total you are paying 250 euro a pop.

    If you live close to the North, I know there is a pharmacy that fulfils Irish prescriptions for Mounjaro at reasonable price I think 167 euro in Belcoo and the same for McKeagneys in Newry.

    You should now be able to get a script in Ireland if you ask your GP. Your local pharmacy can then dispense 235 euro for 2.5mg pen or 316 for 5mg. The 5mg is dear but you should not need that for the first 4 weeks maybe even 8-12 weeks depending on how you react. I am on 2.5mg since 14 January, performed my 6th jab on Tuesday. They call it a loading dose BUT if it is working from food noise and satiety perspective pharmacies and GPs are accepting of this fact. The more you titrate, 2.5→5→7.5 etc etc. the side affects may become heightened.

    I second mybmi.ie Their website is easy to use and offers a very efficient service with next day delivery of well packaged pen through DPD. You have to have a consultation every month but it still works out a lot cheaper than ROI at €253 (including consultation +  any strength pen) If you want €20 off your initial consultation, use 99296Cian20free  Good luck!

    I did. Actually it is easy to get Mounjaro online. Though consulting a doctor is a must
