Mounjaro is a relatively new medication and was only approved for use in the UK in 2023. It has become extremely popular, with over 70,000 people searching for the term ‘mounjaro’ on Google every month.
But how much does it cost to buy Mounjaro in the UK? Is Mounjaro with the cost? And can you buy it over the counter? Let’s find out. Read on to learn all about Mounjaro and how much it costs.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a medication developed by Eli Lilly and Company, primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes but also has full UK regulatory approval for managing weight.
It is a once-weekly injectable drug that works as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. You inject the medication into your upper arm, abdomen or thigh.
By mimicking the activity of these hormones, Mounjaro helps to:
Mounjaro ultimately contributes to improved glycemic control and potential weight loss, making it a great option if you’re looking to lose weight or manage your type 2 diabetes.
The cost of Mounjaro in the UK can vary and is influenced by several factors, including:
For medications covered by the NHS, patients typically pay a standard prescription charge unless they qualify for exemptions. As of 2024, the standard prescription charge in England is £9.90 per item.
However, if Mounjaro is not covered by the NHS and is being obtained privately, the cost can be higher depending on the subscription plan.
A typical subscription plan for Mounjaro can cost between £150 to £200 per month.
People often think that Mounjaro is cheaper if you buy it from pharmacies. However services like Dr Franks Weight Loss clinic – which is led and delivered by Specialist Consultant Endocrinologist and Specialist Nurses – often provide treatment at prices that are just as competitive but offer more than these pharmacies as the pharmacies don’t include ongoing support to ensure you’re making the most of your medication.
At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, we don’t just “sell” you the medication and send you on your way. We’ll be on hand throughout your journey to ensure you stay on track. From monthly check-ins to support from qualified, registered specialist weight loss nurses, we can ensure you make the most of your Mounjaro plan.

Some common side effects of Wegovy include:
Some less common but more serious side effects could include:
No, you can not get Mounjaro over the counter. It is a prescription medication that requires authorisation from a healthcare provider.
Its use needs to be carefully monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure its safety and efficacy.
Yes, it is possible to get a prescription for Mounjaro through the NHS in the UK – however, you will need to meet the strict eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for Mounjaro through the NHS, you must have Type 2 diabetes.
The good news is that there are plans to make Monjaro and other weight loss drugs more accessible for weight loss and chronic weight management. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has plans to make Mounjaro available for close to a quarter of a million NHS patients for weight loss purposes.
It has been proposed that Mounjaro could be made available on the NHS for weight loss if you have:
Please note that lower BMI thresholds apply to patients from Chinese, Black African, African-Carribbean, South Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds.
NHS England – who decide on services to be delivered on the NHS in England – have proposed that the NHS could only initially in a three-year rollout, manage to deliver Mounjaro to people with a BMI of more than 40 kg/m2 and at least three weight-related health problems:

Your doctor will most likely try other treatments before prescribing Mounjaro, such as lifestyle changes or orlistat.
In short, yes – Mounjaro is worth the cost if you are looking to lose weight and/ or manage type 2 diabetes. Here’s why:
The other factor to consider in terms of the cost of treatment is the reduction in spending on food and drink. As Mounjaro suppresses appetite and allows a significant reduction in portion size and volumes of food consumed, people often find that their food shopping bills go down considerably, making treatment even more affordable.
A number of large food retailers have seen the impact of weight loss medications on people’s food purchasing habits and have even developed smaller portion meals suitable for patients on Mounjaro!
At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, we will evaluate your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you’re currently taking to determine if Mounjaro is appropriate and to monitor for potential side effects. We are proud to offer Mounjaro here.
To be eligible for Monjaro with Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, you will typically need to have a BMI of over 27 (alongside other criteria).
If you want to get started on Mounjaro, fill out a consultation with us today and we will determine whether it is suitable for you.
