Price Change
Starting on September 1, 2025, the price of Mounjaro in the UK is set to increase for all doses. This change, initiated by the manufacturer Eli Lilly, aligns UK pricing with the rest of Europe. We understand that this may cause concern, especially if you have been making good progress with your treatment. This guide is here to help you understand your options, including a safe and supported switch to Wegovy.
Why the Price of Mounjaro Is Changing
What are my options for continuing treatment?
Continue with Mounjaro
If you’re happy with your current treatment and the price increase isn’t a concern, you can continue with Mounjaro as usual. There are no supply issues, so your treatment will remain uninterrupted.
Switch to a different treatment
You have the option to switch to a different weight loss medication not affected by these price changes. For example, Wegovy is an alternative weight loss injection that works in a similar way to Mounjaro and has shown great results for many patients.
