Question 1

What is the cheapest Wegovy price in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Wegovy prices vary by dose — the maintenance dose (2.4mg) is typically more expensive than the starter doses. Treatcompare compares current Wegovy prices from all GPhC-registered UK pharmacies, sorted from cheapest to most expensive. Prices are updated daily so you can find the best deal.

Question 2

Is Wegovy available privately in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wegovy (semaglutide) is available as a private prescription from GPhC-registered UK pharmacies and CQC-regulated clinics. It is a prescription-only medicine and requires a clinical consultation before dispensing. Availability has improved significantly since 2024 after earlier supply shortages.

Question 3

What is the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?

Accepted Answer

Both contain semaglutide manufactured by Novo Nordisk. Wegovy is licensed specifically for weight management at doses up to 2.4mg weekly. Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes at doses up to 1mg but is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. Wegovy follows a 5-step dose escalation schedule (0.25mg → 0.5mg → 1mg → 1.7mg → 2.4mg).

Question 4

Does the Wegovy price include a consultation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the provider. Some pharmacies include the clinical consultation in their headline price; others charge separately. Treatcompare shows which providers include consultation, monitoring, prescriber access, and blood tests so you can compare total cost rather than just the medication price.

Question 5

What are the Wegovy dose steps and how long is treatment?

Accepted Answer

Wegovy uses a dose escalation schedule over 16 weeks: 0.25mg (weeks 1–4), 0.5mg (weeks 5–8), 1mg (weeks 9–12), 1.7mg (weeks 13–16), then 2.4mg maintenance. Treatment is typically ongoing. Discuss duration with your prescribing clinician. Most providers offer monthly subscriptions and can adjust doses.

Question 6

Can I switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro or vice versa?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can switch between GLP-1 medications but a new provider will need to carry out a fresh clinical assessment. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist while Wegovy (semaglutide) targets GLP-1 only. Your clinician can advise which is more suitable. Compare prices for both on Treatcompare.
