Cost FAQs
How much does Mounjaro cost in the UK?
Mounjaro cost depends on dose and provider. Compare the current monthly price and whether consultation, prescription, delivery and monitoring are included.
Why does Mounjaro get more expensive by dose?
Some providers charge more for higher maintenance doses. Starter-dose offers can look lower-cost than the likely ongoing monthly cost.
Is consultation included in UK weight-loss injection prices?
Sometimes. Some providers include consultation and prescribing in the headline price, while others charge separately or bundle support differently.
Can I switch provider to reduce cost?
You may be able to compare and switch providers, but the new provider will still need to run its own eligibility and safety checks before prescribing.
What is the best way to compare UK GLP-1 prices?
Compare dose-by-dose monthly cost, consultation fees, delivery, monitoring and provider registration. Do not rely only on the lowest starter price.

Important information for UK consumers. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK. UK regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to the public, so this article is general patient information — it is not an advertisement, not an offer of sale, and not medical advice. Whether Wegovy is clinically appropriate for you is a decision for a UK-registered prescriber following an assessment.
In short
This article is a short patient-information landing. For the full patient information — indication, dose escalation, what to discuss with a UK-registered prescriber, NHS access context and the service-level cost components of a private consultation — see Wegovy — UK Patient Information. For consumer information about UK weight-management treatment more generally, see the weight-management hub.
What this article does not do
This article does not list UK Wegovy prices, compare it to other medicines on price, list provider pricing for it, or recommend a buying pathway. The medicine itself is priced by the dispensing GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Service-level cost components
A UK private weight-management consultation involves several service-level cost components, each priced separately from the medicine itself:
| Cost component | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Consultation fee | Clinical assessment by a UK-registered prescriber. |
| Prescription / clinical-assessment fee | Often bundled with the consultation; sometimes charged separately. |
| Pharmacy dispensing fee | Paid to the dispensing GPhC-registered pharmacy per script. |
| Follow-up review fee | Periodic clinical review during ongoing treatment. |
| Programme model fee | Some telehealth services bundle several of the above into one monthly fee. |

Frequently asked questions
Is Wegovy available in the UK?
Yes. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK, supplied with a valid UK prescription from a registered prescriber after a clinical assessment, and dispensed by a GPhC-registered pharmacy. It is recommended by NICE under TA875 for weight management in eligible adults.
Why does this page not list Wegovy prices?
Wegovy is a prescription-only medicine. UK Human Medicines Regulations 2012 prohibit advertising prescription medicines to the public. TreatCompare therefore does not display UK Wegovy prices on consumer pages. The medicine itself is priced by the dispensing GPhC-registered pharmacy.
What is the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?
Both contain semaglutide and are manufactured by Novo Nordisk. Wegovy is licensed in the UK for weight management at doses up to 2.4mg weekly.
