How much does Wegovy cost in the UK in 2026?

How much does Wegovy cost in the UK? Across the 24 regulated online providers we track, the honest 2026 answer is: between £89 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.

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 £88.96 — 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.

What 24 regulated providers charge for Wegovy

Ranked by the 2.4 mg maintenance price, with our recommended provider pinned at the top. Every provider is a GPhC-registered pharmacy or CQC-regulated clinic; every price is per four-week supply.

Prices per 4-week supply, last checked 01 September 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.

What a first year on Wegovy actually costs

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 01 September 2026): ZAVA drops to £59.99 with code START40, MedExpress matches £59.99 for new customers, LloydsPharmacy falls to £69.99 with START40, 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 £209–£239 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.
