Support your weight loss journey with the right nutrition and guidance.
We would like to update you regarding changes to the pricing of Mounjaro that will take effect from 1st September 2025. As you may be aware, there have been ongoing challenges with supply and significant increases in wholesale costs across the UK. Unfortunately, this has meant that we are no longer able to maintain our previous prices, despite our best efforts to absorb as much of the increase as possible.
We understand that this is a considerable change, and we want to be transparent with you about why it is necessary. These adjustments reflect the higher prices we are now paying to secure stock from the market, as supplies directly from Lilly remain limited. Our priority is to continue making Mounjaro available to our existing patients and to avoid any interruptions to treatment.
We know how important this medication is to your health and wellbeing, and we are committed to keeping you informed and supported. Thank you for your patience, trust, and understanding as we navigate these challenges together.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your options, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
If you’re currently using Mounjaro and are thinking about moving to Wegovy, you’ll be pleased to know that switching is possible, but only if your pharmacist or healthcare provider feels it’s appropriate for you. Because these medications work in similar ways, the changeover needs to be done carefully to ensure it’s both safe and effective.
Typically, there should be a gap of around seven days between your final dose of Mounjaro and your first dose of Wegovy. The dose you start on with Wegovy will also depend on the strength of Mounjaro you were previously prescribed, so your treatment plan may need to be adjusted.
This article will walk you through what to expect when making the switch, the benefits of each option, and the practical steps you’ll need to follow. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make a confident and informed decision about your weight-loss journey. If you ever feel unsure, remember that your pharmacist or clinician is the best person to give tailored advice.

How does it work? |
Wegovy works as an appetite suppressant. As a GLP-1 analogue, it mimics the GLP-1 hormone that regulates appetite. Wegovy thereby works by sending signals to the brain to make a person feel satiated, meaning that the user eats less and feels full more often. |
Mounjaro is an appetite suppressant. As a GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, it mimics the effects of the GIP and GLP-1 hormones. These hormones regulate satiety, so Mounjaro works by making a person feel fuller for longer and therefore eating less.

Weight Loss pens (Mounjaro) works by stimulating receptors for two hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). GLP-1 helps to regulate blood glucose levels, suppressing your appetite and slowing down the emptying of the stomach to keep hunger at bay. GIP enhances the effects of GLP-1 by regulating the energy balance in your brain and fat cells. It helps to:
Slow down digestion
Reduce hunger
Improve insulin sensitivity
Together, these effects lead to reduced calorie intake and sustained weight loss.
Weight Loss Pen injected once a week using a pre-filled pen. The injection is subcutaneous (under the skin), typically into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
Clinical trials have shown average weight loss of up to 20% of body weight over 72 weeks, depending on dose and lifestyle. Individual results may vary based on diet, exercise, and medical history.

Nausea

The NHS recommends using your Body Mass Index or BMI as an indicator of a healthy weight range. The BMI is a score that’s calculated based on your height, weight, and age. The score for a healthy weight, depending on these factors, sits between 18.5 and 24.9.
To get a better picture of your weight health, the NHS advises that you should also measure your waist size. This is because excess fat in your tummy area can mean a higher risk of health conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.
