BelongsToMany relation. How to get unique rows

I have next 'member_companies' table in DB:

And in model Member has a relation :

public function companies()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Company::class, 'member_companies');
}

And it return me all companies with dublicates. For example, Member::find(238)->companies->pluck('id') return

[
  6,
  5,
  7,
  2,
  10,
  8,
  4,
  13,
  14,
  10,
  8,
  13
]

But I want only unique items. Like

[
    6,
    5,
    7,
    2,
    10,
    8,
    4,
    13,
    14,
]   

How can I do it with eloquent relations?

I found next solution:

public function companies()
{
    $relation = $this->belongsToMany(Company::class, 'member_companies');

    $relation->getQuery()->getQuery()
        ->joins[0]->table = \DB::raw('(SELECT DISTINCT member_id, company_id FROM member_companies) as member_companies');

    return $relation;
}

But maybe there is more delicate variant of this code?
