Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Both are once-weekly injections for weight management. Clinical trials suggest Mounjaro may produce greater average weight loss, but individual results vary. Both are prescription-only in the UK.

Yes. Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Wegovy (semaglutide), Ozempic (semaglutide), and Nevolat (liraglutide) are all prescription-only medicines in the UK. Most online providers include a clinical consultation in their price and can prescribe if you meet the clinical criteria (typically BMI 30+, or BMI 27+ with a weight-related health condition).

Most prescribers require a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnoea. Some providers use adjusted BMI thresholds for certain ethnic groups. Use our BMI calculator on the weight loss page to check.

Wegovy follows a 5-step dose escalation over 16 weeks (0.25mg → 0.5mg → 1mg → 1.7mg → 2.4mg), then ongoing maintenance at 2.4mg. Total cost for the first 6 months is typically £1,200–£2,400 depending on provider. Use our dose escalation calculator for a personalised estimate.
