Went up a dose of Mounjaro and didn’t realise the price would jump so much too. Good thing this shit works and is worth it. Wish it was on the PBS though.

@decryption how effective! It’s slimming two things at once!
@europlus $350 to lose 1kg, haha
@decryption Couple tips I've picked up from the reddits: Priceline will sometimes price-match to Chemist Warehouse, which I've found to be usually the cheapest. And there are many programs that give you discounted Priceline gift cards (I can buy them for 5% off through HCF), so that can save a bit too.
@web_goddess yeah that's what I need to start doing - which sucks as I really like my local pharmacy :(
@decryption ouch. It seems the manufacturer is keen to maximize its return
@Sminney yep, the aus govt wants it on the PBS, but Lilly wouldn't budge enough on price for the govt, so it just stalled

@decryption we can only hope the generics come as soon as legally possible.
@decryption
That sucks so bad. This is such a no-brainer benefit to society thing to fund 😔
@Sminney
@pewnack the 10mg dose was $550, didn’t expect such a big jump in price
@decryption
ahh that's what I'm at. $680 from my chemist. over $100/shot 😕
@ejstacey I might need to start shopping around for this stuff
@decryption
or get on that illegal peptide train (kidding)
@ejstacey if there was a way to test it before injecting, I’d probably be doing that
