Eli Lily has stopped taking orders till Monday amidst “unprecedented demand” to two of its British wholesalers.
On social media, many users stated that they were stocking the drug to avoid the initial price growth, despite the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) and Eli Lily warning, and not bulk-order.
On Wednesday, the Supergrag’s website stated that it was out of the stock of silence “due to a national shortage”. The company toldIndependent: “We are currently working hard to fulfill all the orders kept for Mounjaro, and we hope that the new customer will start accepting the orders next week.

Lloyds Pharmacy said on its website that it was out of the stock for new priscRibers of high doses of 10mg, 12.5mg and 15mg, while the boots online showed that it showed 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg or 15mg pen.

Well Pharmacy, which is the second largest pharmacy series in the UK, said the supply of mounjaro from wholesalers is “intermittent” due to the increase in demand.
The company’s clinical product and innovation manager, Mital Thakrar, told Independent: “We are working hard with our wholesalers and manufacturers to maintain stock supply in Well stores, and we are currently in Maunzaro’s stock.”
The situation has also affected online pharmacies. Pharmacy 2U said that it had experienced “significant short -term growth” after the announcement of price hike, but the spikes had calmed down and it was giving priority to existing patients.
Simple Online Pharmacy said it had sold new patients to silence, while banning the sale of four weeks per patient to prevent bulk purchase. It said that it was sufficient supply in all doses to complete repeat recipes.
Pharmacy said that more people were ordering rival weight loss drug vegovi, which is a cheap option. Patients switching on the vegovi, who cost £ 85 per month, are advised to advise them to take a week’s break between two products.

Abdal Alvi, Chief Clinical Officer of Simple Online Healthcare, said that the demand for all GLP -1 drugs, including Vagovi and Maunjaro, had increased by 400 percent since the price hike news.
The increase in demand has led to concerns in the pharmacy industry in the NPA, stating that it was said that the price hike was further known “preventing or stopping orders for high doses”.
Chair Olivier Picard stated that wholesale procurement could have significant impact on supply, while the vendor also offers potential risk to protect the patient through a possible decrease of regular check-up by the seller as part of the weight-loss management.
He urged patients to avoid unlicensed vendors, who could sell fake medicines that do not meet the UK safety standards.
Mr. Picard, who runs his own pharmacy, said: “The situation is serious at this time. I have patients of online pharmacies and other brick and mortar pharmacies who are coming around, asking that ‘Have you got? I need a supply and my supplier has no stock.’
“I think wholesalers are completely overwhelmed by the demand of people trying to buy Munjaro.”
Elli Lily said she had allocation for the providers who order the stock from it, stating that it helped managing the supply and ensuring the patient’s access.
A spokesman told Independent: “Drugs and healthcare products are the legal protection implemented by the providers to prevent improper stockpiling of drugs.
“We encourage patients to order only on the basis of their current treatment scheme, so that the risk of localized disruption is reduced.”
The company’s decision to increase the price reflected efforts to align prices more closely with its other European markets, as well as to keep the US prices low to reduce the US political pressure.
