So Pharmacy2U got back to me. Apparently out of stock of 1.7mg. However Asda just accepted me on 1.7mg. So I’ll just go with them. Also their customer interface is better.

Had a look at past threads with no real success... does anyone take a laxative on Wegovy/Ozempic? If so, would you recommend? TMI but I used to be v regular and now go every few days. I know this is part of the way it works as it slows your digestion but I have the absolute fear that I'll need to go whilst running and get caught short! So prefer to run once I've been which just isn't possible at the moment.

Mag07 tablets are the best. You can get them on amazon. Take them at night and you'll go in the morning guaranteed.

Do you take these just when required or on a daily basis?

You can take one everynight if you wish or you can take them when required. I take 3 before bed when I need to and empty my bowels the morning after! And when I say empty I mean empty

Sounds perfect for those times the medication makes me a bit sluggish. Thanks for the recommendation!

I was going 7 solid days with no movement and even then, sometimes had to use a laxative to get things going. I like Dulcolax but have moved onto MagO7 which is gentler but still effective. You might have to play with the dose to work out how many you need. I usually take 3 to guarantee movement, but 2 may be enough for you

Decided to give Wegovy a go and placed an order with Pharmacy 2 u a couple of days ago. Does anyone know how long it takes them to send it out and if there’s a chance it might end up being out of stock even though they’ve taken payment out?

I ordered on Friday, they had some questions I had to answer (because I last ordered from them in November and they think I’ve had a break) but it was dispatched yesterday (Royal Mail). No idea when it will arrive with our post system though!

Mine was dispatched from P2U yesterday and arrived by Royal Mail today. X

Do you mind me asking when you ordered it? I ordered on Monday, put all my details in and it said that it had gone through about an hour later but they haven’t asked for any photos or anything. I haven’t heard anything else since Monday.

I’m just hoping they’re not going to say it’s out of stock, I think I don’t mind waiting so long as I know it’s going to come.

You don't have to but it is recommended

I ordered mine yesterday from C4u didn’t hear anything today so emailed them and within 30 minutes they got back to me and being delivered tomorrow so might be worth doing that.
