r/GLP1India

Hey Guys,
So as mentioned in the title, I’m very curious about how your journey has been with GLP1 ? I feel after first couple of months, rapid water weight loss is out of the question and then most of it is fat loss. Though I have been on MJ since 4 months, I would appreciate your insights about your journey. Any tips and advice about what’s working for you is appreciated.

Has anybody ordered their Mounjaro Kwikpens on Amazon Pharmacy?

Is it original? Does it come refrigerated or in an ice pack? Do they maintain the cold chain?

Please share your experience.

Thank You

With fake mounjaros popping in Indian markets, It is absolutely absurd that Lilly has provided absolutely nothing to check the authenticity of their injections in India.

Even protein supplements worth 500rs have authentication codes but not billion dollar worth company Eli Lilly.🤡

If you’re using glp mainly for weight loss and not strictly tracking your calories, eating healthy, moving a little, you’re wasting your money and precious time. Yes you’ll eventually get results, but the fact is cico is the ultimate truth, and this miraculous drug helps you to stick to a healthy diet. so if you’re gonna eat without sticking strictly to a healthy diet, you’re the one losing out. No one cares about excuses, if you’re fat and wanna lose the weight, then instead of crying about stalls and blaming on the medicine, do some self reflection and hold yourself accountable for your diet and lack of movement.

All these people keep blaming their metabolism, hormones, this drug, and everything except themselves. Especially if you’re young and your body is able to handle the diet and exercise, then there’s no excuse.

Unfortunately, I was one of those who are affected by the fake Mounjaro QwikPen, and that too from a trusted brand like Apollo.

Today, I called Eli Lilly and they confirmed that my Mounjaro dose was indeed fake and also registered my complaint for further investigation. After that, I went to the pharmacy to confront them. Surprisingly, all of their Mounjaro doses have now been called back, and they currently have no stock, saying there was some “quality issue” with the doses. Clearly, something was wrong with those QwikPens, otherwise why would such an expensive medicine suddenly be recalled?

However, when I spoke to the logistics/business head at Apollo Pharmacy, they were very adamant that even if the batch code matches the ones flagged by Eli Lilly, the doses are “not fake” because they trust their supplier.

The reason I am sure my dose was fake is, it did not reduce even a single gram of weight over 4 weeks. For context, I had already lost 13 kg within 3 months on lower doses before this, so I know my body responds well to Mounjaro. Every single time I took the dose, it created a very large red patch around the injection site, with intense itching that lasted for almost 3 days.

Now, I am not only worried about the money lost, but also about the lingering fear of what unknown compound may have gone into my system and what its long-term impact could be.

With this post, I simply want to connect with others who may also have been victims of this fraud through Apollo. Please share your experience if you received a fake dose, and also mention the batch number of your pen. Maybe we can collective make our case strong to get refund for our qwikpen.

Btw the Appollo Pharmacy I am talking about is the pharmacy from Faridabad. Folks here please beware.

Hey. So doctor moved me from Rybelsus to Generic Semaglutide injections.
My exact requirement is a single use pen. I order it, use it in my car or office, and discard it.

He suggested me to go with a generic - Corona Remedies’s Tyvenza.

But the distributor is ignoring me.

Any other single use options that I can suggest my doctor to prescribe? Do note that it has to be semaglutide and not the newer dual ones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello!

I completed a month of Mounjaro 2.5mg which helped me lose 5kgs bringing me from 106 to 101 kgs in 4 weeks.

Since the next doses of Mounjaro are too steep on my pocket, I requested my endocrinologist the next course of action with this specific issue - she switched me over Mounjaro to Ozempic starting at 0.5mg which I took last week. I don’t feel any different with this dose - in fact my sugar cravings are back and there’s no reduction in appetite. My next dose is this Friday.

Please let me know if this will change by the second dose or I’m making a mistake. I appreciate constructive support and feedback.

okay i need reassurance from the mounjaro crowd because i feel like my scale is moving in slow motion 😭

what was everyone’s first month weight loss on 2.5mg? and how well did it improve after that?

i keep seeing people lose like a million kilos in 4 weeks meanwhile i’m over here wondering why my weight loss is already stalled. for context i took my 4th jab today and my weightloss as of now is between 2-3 kgs and not losing anything more. i almost lost all of this weight on week 1 and hardly anything after that 🫩

would genuinely love to hear realistic experiences because my brain has decided to become dramatic about it lol

Okay as the name suggests; do yurpeak and Mounjaro work the same in reality to? For people who shifted from Mounjaro to Yurpeak- please review.
I’d also like to know where you all are sourcing Yurpeak from in India? Who’s the most reliable vendor with best deals

SW : 80.5, CW: 76.35, Overall Loss ~4 Kgs (29F)

Side effects : Loss of appetite and lethargy, occasional nausea

Overall calorie consumption was around ~1200 per day with 70-75g of protein.

I am on Mounjaro and plan to stick with 2.5 mg for another 2-3 months till the time weight loss plateaus to 1-1.5 kg per month. I didn't workout much during this period and will be incorporating strength training this month as I feel my body has finally adjusted to the drug a bit and the side effects aren't that severe.

I started my MJ journey a month ago with the 2.5mg dose. Lost 3kgs. I started tracking meals, did cardio and resistance training.

Had a follow-up with my doc yesterday and he asked to move upto to the 5mg dose. Took my last 2.5mg dose on May 2nd and I asked him if I can change the dosing date to Wednesday instead so that I feel the effects strongly through the weekend. He gave me the go ahead and I took the first 5mg jab yesterday at 9am. But I don't think I'm feeling any of the benefits. There are no side effects either. Thought it would have kicked in 24hrs later.

I'm at a point where I'm confused if I got used to the benefits that it's not so obvious anymore or if it's because I started having better lifestyle changes.

I've even written an email (lillypsp@hcah.in) to Lilly to check if the medicine I have is genuine.

People who've been on this journey, can you please let me know if what I'm going through is normal? Getting a bit concerned here.

I am drinking like 7 litres a day.

And is anyone feeling their mouth is always dry since starting Mounjaro?

Hello, I’m 30 years old and weigh 116 kg. I’m looking for doctors in Bangalore who can provide proper guidance on GLP treatments. I currently have elevated TSH and am prediabetic. Also let me know how to approach the doctors regarding GLP.

Doctor wants to start my dad (age 60, male, 5 feet 6 inches 80kgs). He has type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, hypertension diabetes and hypertension and lipids seem to be controlled on meds he is on (gemerdapa 10/2/500, telma h, rosuvastatin f).

And also wants to start my mom(age 52) on it for weight she's 5 feet and weighs almost 100kgs, she has hypothyroidism and a lot of inflammation outbreaks in terms of skin rashes.

Worried about a few posts I read on reddit about people getting thyroid cancer after using these meds for a few months to an year

Doc is considering the generic semaglutide

As the title says, for people who’ve ordered through online pharmacy especially in New Delhi, do they maintain cold storage?

I’m thinking of going through Mr. Med since they’re offering 1.5k discount—- are they legit?
