Wegovy Price Comparison UK (Updated April 2026)

Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) is one of two major GLP-1 weight loss medications available privately in the UK, alongside Mounjaro. Prices vary between providers and increase as you titrate through the dose schedule, so understanding the full cost picture before you start is worth the five minutes it takes to read this page.

Below you will find a side-by-side comparison of published Wegovy prices from major UK providers across all five dose levels, plus context on NHS availability, how it compares to Mounjaro on cost, and how to track your progress once you begin.

What affects the price of Wegovy in the UK?

Titration schedule

Wegovy uses a five-step titration: you start at 0.25mg and increase every four weeks through 0.5mg, 1mg, and 1.7mg before reaching the 2.4mg maintenance dose. Each step up is more expensive. The titration phase alone (16 weeks minimum) costs roughly £700 to £1,000 at typical private prices, before you even reach the maintenance dose.

Private prescription costs

Some providers bundle the consultation fee into the pen price. Others charge it separately, particularly on a first order. Check whether the quoted price includes the prescription or whether there is an additional £10 to £30 consultation fee on top.

Subscription models

Providers like Numan and Juniper operate on a monthly subscription basis, which may include check-ins, coaching, or waived repeat consultation fees. Whether this is actually cheaper depends on the per-pen price at your dose level. Do the maths on the medication cost specifically, rather than comparing headline subscription fees.

Is Wegovy available on the NHS?

Wegovy has been recommended by NICE for NHS use in adults with a BMI of 35 or above (or 30 and above with a weight-related health condition) who are referred through specialist weight management services. In practice, NHS availability varies significantly by region, and waiting lists for specialist services can be lengthy.

If you are eligible, NHS access is dramatically cheaper than the private route. Speak to your GP about whether a referral to a Tier 3 weight management service is appropriate for you. For most people reading this page, the private route is the faster option.

Wegovy vs Mounjaro: price and effectiveness

At maintenance doses, Wegovy and Mounjaro are priced in a similar range. Wegovy 2.4mg typically costs £249 to £289 per pen, while Mounjaro 15mg sits at roughly £252 to £269. The difference between providers is often larger than the difference between the two medications.

On effectiveness, head-to-head clinical data (the SURMOUNT and STEP trials) suggests Mounjaro produces slightly greater average weight loss than Wegovy, though individual responses vary considerably. Mounjaro is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, while Wegovy acts on GLP-1 receptors only.

Neither medication is objectively "better." The right choice depends on how your body responds, your side-effect profile, and what your prescribing clinician recommends. For a detailed Mounjaro breakdown, see our Mounjaro price comparison UK page.

Tracking your progress on Wegovy

Weight is the obvious metric, but it is not the most useful one. Water fluctuations, meal timing, and hormonal cycles can shift the number on the scales by 1 to 2 kg in a single day. The changes that actually matter, face shape, body contour, how your clothes fit, are harder to quantify but far more meaningful to most people.

SKŌR tracks those changes objectively. The app uses AI to score your face and body from a photo, giving you a consistent data point that does not fluctuate with water weight or time of day. Whether you are on week four or month six, you get an honest picture of what is actually changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a full course of Wegovy cost in the UK?
  A full titration from 0.25mg to 2.4mg takes at least 16 weeks (four pens at increasing doses). At typical private prices, the titration phase costs roughly £700 to £1,000 depending on the provider. Once you reach the 2.4mg maintenance dose, ongoing cost is approximately £249 to £289 per month. Wegovy is intended as a long-term treatment, so the total cost is open-ended.
• Is Wegovy or Mounjaro cheaper in the UK?
  At maintenance doses, the two are priced similarly. Wegovy 2.4mg typically costs £249 to £289 per pen, while Mounjaro 15mg ranges from £252 to £269. Some providers price Mounjaro slightly lower at equivalent stages. The difference between providers is often larger than the difference between the two medications. See our Mounjaro price comparison for full details.
• Does Wegovy cost vary by dose?
  Yes. Wegovy is cheaper at the lower titration doses and more expensive at the maintenance dose. A 0.25mg starter pen typically costs £149 to £179, while the 2.4mg maintenance pen costs £249 to £289. The price increases at each of the five titration steps, so your monthly cost will rise over the first four months of treatment before stabilising at the maintenance level.
