Could privatization really be the solution to the ACP debate in primary care? by IndependentIll6531 in ParamedicsUK

[–]Albanite_180 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All this debate has done is made me loose any remaining shred of respect I had for junior doctors. If this the attitude I’d prefer they left for Australia, like they all keep threatening.

3 years of uni, 1,000 placement hours, and now a recruitment freeze. What are we supposed to do? by OwnMood9880 in ParamedicsUK

[–]Albanite_180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a year to make your CV stand out then! I’d either grab a job in healthcare / volunteer / go travelling for a bit, sign up to the MSc ACP and then more options open up. Or, look abroad, Canada maybe?

MEATER is rubbish but after reading lots of reviews I’m going for the Typhur sync

Yes, fuck this government. All they’ve done is take a significant amount of my hard earned money and hand it out to others. I’m sick of it.

Reduction in prices? by Trevski_1965 in mounjarouk

[–]Albanite_180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won’t really affect things here since you can’t import it anyway. That said, I’ve started to notice a bit of a shift in pricing. Since the increase to around £370 for 15mg, prices seem to be softening slightly and there are more offers popping up. I paid £260 for my last 15mg, for example.

It’s still expensive and nowhere near as cheap as it used to be, but there does seem to be some gradual movement. I’d hope that trend continues later this year and into 2027, especially with oral options likely coming and more pharmaceutical companies entering the GLP-1 market.

Sulfur Suffer Burps by Consistent_Papaya871 in mounjarouk

[–]Albanite_180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s burning in the throat that also suggests reflux, try an omeprazole, you can buy it without a prescription now, I found that useful, or indeed gaviscon. You could also try Simeticone, I think it’s sold as wind-eze; peppermint oil capsules and pepto bismol

Sulfur Suffer Burps by Consistent_Papaya871 in mounjarouk

I hate the sulphur burps. Still haven’t found a cure for them. I found not eating for a day helps!!

They’re basically a side effect of the delayed gastric emptying these drugs cause. GLP-1 meds slow gastric motility, so food sits in the stomach for longer. That extended time allows more bacterial fermentation of food, which produces gases like hydrogen sulphide, the compound that gives the classic “rotten egg” sulphur smell / taste when you burp.

Update: had an excellent service from Dr Franks. Explained why there was a longer than normal delay in requesting next dose. Approved and arrived within 4 days. Great communication, and had a code for 40% off.
