How much do Mounjaro and Wegovy cost in the UK?

There is no single price. What you pay depends on whether you get it on the NHS or privately, on the dose, and on which pharmacy you use. Here is how the cost is built, and how to compare like for like.

Last updated

The short version

  • On the NHS, if you qualify, you pay only the prescription charge (currently £9.90 an item in England, free elsewhere).
  • Privately, the pharmacy sets its own price. It is the medicine, plus any consultation or blood test fee.
  • Prices vary by dose and by provider, and a low first month offer is often not the ongoing price.
  • For current figures, see our published prices, which are dated and taken from each provider’s own page.

On the NHS

If you are eligible, the NHS covers the medicine and you pay only the standard prescription charge, currently £9.90 an item in England. Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The limit is who qualifies: access is phased and the criteria are strict. See can you get Mounjaro or Wegovy on the NHS, or use the NHS eligibility checker to see which route the rules point to for you.

Privately: what you actually pay

A private price is set by the pharmacy, not fixed nationally. It is usually made up of a few parts:

  • The medicine, priced by dose. Higher maintenance doses cost more than the starting dose.
  • The consultation or assessment, which some providers include and others charge for.
  • Any tests, where a provider requires blood tests before it will prescribe.
  • Delivery, sometimes free, sometimes added.

A first order offer can make the first month look cheaper than the price you settle into later. Read the ongoing price at the dose you expect to reach.

Why private prices vary so much

The manufacturer raised the UK list price of Mounjaro from 1 September 2025, with the highest dose moving to about £330 a pen. Pharmacies buy at that list price and add their own margin, so when the list price rose, providers reacted differently: some passed it straight on, a few held their price for a time. Add the different consultation and test fees, and the different first order offers, and the same medicine at the same dose can cost noticeably more at one provider than another.

How to compare like for like

  • Compare the ongoing monthly price at the same dose, not the first order offer.
  • Check what the consultation or assessment costs on top, and whether tests are required.
  • Treat any price far below the rest as a reason to check the provider, not a bargain. Read how to spot an illegal seller.

Our published prices list registered providers on the same basis, with the date each figure was checked and a link to the provider’s own page. We report prices as a fact; we do not rank providers and we do not point you to a cheapest one.

Common questions

Why did Mounjaro get more expensive in 2025?
The manufacturer raised its UK list price from 1 September 2025, with the highest dose moving to about £330 a pen. Pharmacies buy at the list price and set their own retail price on top, so some passed the rise on and a few held their price for a while. That is why the amount you pay changed, and why it still differs between providers.
Is the first month price the real price?
Not always. Many providers show a low first order price, then a higher ongoing price once you are on a maintenance dose. When you compare, look at the ongoing monthly price at the dose you expect to be on, not the introductory offer.
Do I pay for the consultation separately?
Sometimes. Some providers include the consultation in the price; others charge an assessment fee, and a few require blood tests that cost extra. Add those to the medicine price so you are comparing the real total.
Is it cheaper on the NHS?
If you are eligible, yes. On the NHS you pay only the standard prescription charge in England, which is currently £9.90 an item, and nothing in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The catch is eligibility: NHS access is limited and phased, so most people buying privately are doing so because they do not yet qualify.
