How Much Does Wegovy Cost in the UK? (2026 Price Guide)

How much does Wegovy cost privately in the UK? Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) prices vary by dose, provider, and what is included. This guide breaks down the real costs based on prices from GPhC-registered UK pharmacies tracked by Treatcompare.

Wegovy price by dose

Wegovy uses a dose escalation schedule. You start on a lower dose and increase every 4 weeks. The price increases with the dose:

| Dose | Typical weekly cost | When used | |------|-------------------|-----------| | 0.25mg | £35–50/week | Weeks 1–4 (starter) | | 0.5mg | £38–55/week | Weeks 5–8 | | 1mg | £42–60/week | Weeks 9–12 | | 1.7mg | £45–65/week | Weeks 13–16 | | 2.4mg | £50–70/week | Maintenance dose |

Prices are per 4-week supply, shown as weekly equivalent for comparison. Most providers sell Wegovy as a 4-week (one pen) supply.

What is included in the price?

This is critical when comparing. A "cheap" provider that charges separately for consultation and monitoring may cost more overall:

• Consultation: Some providers include the initial clinical assessment; others charge £30–80 extra
• Prescriber access: Ongoing access to a prescriber for dose adjustments and questions
• Monitoring: Regular check-ins to track progress and manage side effects
• Blood tests: Some providers require baseline bloods (usually £50–100 if not included)

Treatcompare shows what each provider includes so you can compare total cost, not just the medication price.

Wegovy vs Mounjaro: which is cheaper?

Despite being the newer medication, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is often cheaper than Wegovy from UK providers. Mounjaro also produces more weight loss in clinical trials.

| | Mounjaro | Wegovy | |---|---|---| | Weekly cost (starter) | From £29.75 | From £35 | | Weekly cost (maintenance) | From £40 | From £50 | | Average weight loss | 22.5% | 15% |

Monthly and annual cost

For budgeting purposes:

| Period | Starter dose | Maintenance dose | |--------|-------------|-----------------| | Per month | £140–200 | £200–280 | | Per 3 months | £420–600 | £600–840 | | Per year | £1,680–2,400 | £2,400–3,360 |

These figures are for the medication only. Add £50–150 for initial consultation if not included.
