How much does Wegovy cost in the UK? Across the 24 regulated online providers we track, the honest 2026 answer is: between £79.97 and £164 for a four-week starter pen, and £174.99 to £249 per four weeks at the full 2.4 mg maintenance dose. The medicine is identical wherever you order — the difference is purely each pharmacy's pricing.
And that difference adds up. At 1 mg, the gap between cheapest and dearest provider is £90 every four weeks; at maintenance, choosing well saves roughly £960 across a year of thirteen four-week supplies. Below: the cost dose by dose, a realistic first-year budget, and the small print behind flattering headline prices.
Starter (0.25 mg): £79.97–£164 per 4 weeks · Maintenance (2.4 mg): £174.99–£249 · Biggest same-dose gap: £90 a month · Realistic first year: about £2,100–£3,000. From 24 regulated UK providers, checked 4 July 2026.
Wegovy cost in the UK, dose by dose
Wegovy doesn't have one price because it isn't one dose. Everyone climbs the same ladder: 0.25 mg weekly for four weeks, then 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 1.7 mg for around four weeks each, settling on the usual 2.4 mg maintenance dose from about week 17. Each pen covers four weekly injections; each step costs more. The cheapest price at every rung:
- 0.25 mg (weeks 1–4): from £79.97 — and first-order offers take some starter pens as low as £59.99.
- 0.5 mg (weeks 5–8): from £108.97.
- 1 mg (weeks 9–12): from £109 — the dose with the widest spread, reaching £199 elsewhere.
- 1.7 mg (weeks 13–16): from £168.97.
- 2.4 mg (week 17 onwards): from £174.99 — the number that matters most, because it's the one you keep paying.
- 7.2 mg: from £249.99 — MHRA-approved in January 2026 for obesity (BMI 30+) only; 8 of the 24 providers stock it.

Prices per 4-week supply, last checked 4 July 2026 — they can change, so confirm on the provider's site before ordering. Price information, not an offer of supply. The full 24-provider table, at every dose, lives on our homepage.
To be upfront: our pick is not the cheapest at maintenance — Cloud Pharmacy holds that at £174.99. We recommend The Weight Clinic for what wraps around the pen: monthly video reviews with a clinician, needles in the box, next-day delivery, and — unusually — a refund if the prescriber decides Wegovy isn't right for you.
Start Wegovy from £80 at The Weight Clinic
Code NEWME takes £35 off your first order — the £115 starter month becomes £80. A prescriber reviews you first, there's a video check-in every month, and if you're declined you're refunded.

A year holds thirteen four-week supplies: four titration pens, then nine at maintenance.
At the cheapest maintenance provider, Cloud Pharmacy, the four climbing doses come to about £510 (£114.99 + £119.99 + £124.99 + £149.99), and nine 2.4 mg pens at £174.99 add roughly £1,575. Call it £2,085 for year one. At the dearest programme-style providers, where maintenance runs to £249, the same year lands closer to £3,000. The Weight Clinic's first four months cost £515 with the NEWME code (£80 + £125 + £135 + £175) — almost identical to the cheapest route — then £230 at maintenance.
One caveat: if side effects mean your prescriber holds you at a lower dose for longer, your monthly cost stays lower too. Treat these figures as a planning budget, not an invoice.
First-order offers: welcome, but do one sum first
Most providers discount your first order — the current offers (checked 4 July 2026): ZAVA drops to £59.99 with code WZUK40, MedExpress matches £59.99 for new customers, LloydsPharmacy falls to £69.99 with START30, and The Weight Clinic to £80 with NEWME.
The sum worth doing: the discount happens once; the maintenance price repeats around nine times in your first year. Voy illustrates it best — a tempting £69 first month, but a £144 standard starter and a £239 maintenance dose, among the highest we track. Judge every provider on its 2.4 mg line, and treat the welcome code as a bonus.
What's included in the price — and what isn't
Happily, the consultation is free at every provider in our table, and several — LloydsPharmacy and Superdrug among them — charge only if you're approved. (We've written up exactly what the consultation asks.) The variables to check are smaller:
- Delivery. Free at many (Cloud Pharmacy and ZAVA next-day; Boots tracked), £2.99–£5.95 at others. Whatever you pay, it should be cold-chain packaging — Wegovy must stay chilled in transit, one of our seven safety checks before you pay.
- Needles and sharps disposal. Included at some (Cloud Pharmacy, LloydsPharmacy, The Weight Clinic; Chemist4U adds a sharps bin), an extra at others.
- Pay-per-order vs subscription. Pharmacies like The Independent Pharmacy charge order by order, no tie-in. Programme providers such as Numan, Juniper and Second Nature bundle coaching and apps — valuable if you'll use them, but it's why their maintenance prices sit at the £229–£249 end.
Is Wegovy cheaper on the NHS?
If you qualify, yes — you'd pay only the standard prescription charge. But NHS access runs through specialist weight-management services with strict entry criteria, and availability and waits vary widely by area. That's why most people buying Wegovy use the regulated private route, which needs no GP referral — see how prescribing works without your GP and every legitimate place to buy online.
What we'd never suggest as a way to save money: unregulated sellers, social-media listings or so-called compounded copies. However cheap, you have no idea what's in the pen. If a price looks impossible next to the table above, that's why.
Wegovy cost FAQs
What's the cheapest way to start Wegovy in the UK?
The lowest standard-price starter pen is £79.97, and first-order codes push some starters to £59.99 — but the starter lasts one month, so weigh the 2.4 mg maintenance price (from £174.99) more heavily. The Weight Clinic starts at £80 with code NEWME and refunds you if declined.
Why does Wegovy get more expensive after the first month?
Because the dose climbs — from 0.25 mg through 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 1.7 mg to the 2.4 mg maintenance dose around week 17, each step costing more. From then on you pay the maintenance price (£174.99–£249 per four weeks) on repeat, so that's the figure to budget on.
Does the price include the consultation and prescription?
Yes, at all 24 providers we track — the consultation is free and the prescription is part of the medicine price; several charge nothing unless you're approved. Check delivery (free to £5.95) and whether needles are included.
Is the new 7.2 mg dose more expensive?
Yes — from £249.99 to £319 per four weeks, stocked by 8 of the 24 providers. It was approved in January 2026 for obesity (BMI 30+) only; most people stay at 2.4 mg, and the prescriber decides.
Do I get my money back if I'm declined?
With the better providers, being declined costs you nothing: LloydsPharmacy and Superdrug take payment only if you're prescribed, and The Weight Clinic refunds you if the prescriber says no. Don't respond to a decline by hunting for a site that asks fewer questions — that means weaker clinical checks.
See if you qualify — it costs nothing to find out
The Weight Clinic's consultation is free, the first month is £80 with code NEWME (£35 off), needles and next-day delivery are included, and a clinician reviews you by video monthly. Declined by the prescriber? You get your money back.
