I had no trouble getting them but I was switching from Victoza (an injectable form of GLP1 med) which had become unavailable. I was originally prescribed Victoza at my annual diabetes review in 2023 so I guess all necessary checks were done then. I only remember a couple of significant factors were firstly BMI, mine was 34.8 and it was supposed to be over 35 for the prescription. I said I would eat more cream to get up to 35 if they wanted, they laughed and sorted the prescription! The other is a major warning (black box warning) on these meds. They need to know if you or family have had thyroid cancer. I hope you get this sorted soon, let us know how you get on.</blockquote>
