Mounjaro cost per month: what UK private pricing actually covers

How private Mounjaro pricing works in the UK

Private weight-loss treatment is priced per pen, which corresponds roughly to one month of treatment at each dose. That means the per-month cost changes as you progress through the titration schedule, the lower starter doses cost less than the higher maintenance doses. Since the September 2025 list-price increase from Eli Lilly, reported private prices have generally ranged from around £149 at the lower doses up to roughly £375 at the higher end, though figures vary between providers and the market continues to adjust. If you're looking for a provider currently offering Mounjaro at £99 per month, our dedicated page explains where that figure comes from and what it typically covers.

What those prices don't always make clear is whether they include the consultation, the prescription, delivery, and any ongoing clinical support. Some providers charge each of those separately. Others bundle them but quietly build that cost in. Reading the line items before committing matters.

It's also worth knowing that Mounjaro is licensed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 or above with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. A prescriber has to confirm suitability before any supply is lawful, that clinical step is non-negotiable, and it should be part of what you're paying for. Our full Mounjaro guide covers eligibility in more detail if you want to check before starting a consultation.

NICE has recommended tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro) for NHS use under specific conditions, as set out in NICE technology appraisal TA1026, but NHS access remains phased and limited by strict criteria. Private treatment through a regulated pharmacy is, for now, the realistic route for most people.

What a monthly price can quietly leave out

There's a common assumption that the price shown on a provider's website is the price you'll pay. Sometimes it is. Often it isn't.

Consultation fees are the most frequent omission, charged separately, sometimes per visit, sometimes at every dose change. Prescription fees are another: some providers issue the prescription as a chargeable item even when the medicine itself is included. Delivery adds up, particularly on a subscription that renews monthly. Aftercare or clinical messaging services are sometimes gated behind a premium tier. And when you need a dose increase, a handful of providers charge for the evidence review that should be part of responsible prescribing in any case.

None of this means those providers are doing something wrong. But the monthly cost of Mounjaro is only a fair comparison when you're comparing the same things. A price that looks lower because it excludes the prescription and delivery may cost you more by the third month than one that starts higher and covers everything. Our page on Mounjaro price per month breaks down how these figures shift across the full titration journey and what drives the differences between providers.

Where nume sits, and why

Honestly, we're not the lowest-price option. That's a deliberate call, not an oversight.

At nume, one transparent price covers the consultation, the prescription, the medicine, next-working-day DPD delivery and seven-day aftercare. There's no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no charge for the clinical review that happens before every repeat. Our prescribers (you can read about the team on our clinical lead page) personally review each consultation the same day. Identity is verified with photo ID, weight is confirmed on video, and any dose increase requires clinical evidence before it's approved. That infrastructure costs something to run properly.

The current treatment pricing is shown clearly on our treatment page rather than buried in body copy, because prices at the higher doses have moved with the market and we'd rather you see the accurate figure in one place than an outdated number here. What won't change is the structure: one price, everything included.

Why the cheapest listing isn't the right test for a prescription medicine

Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine. The clinical assessment that sits before every legitimate supply isn't a formality, it's the mechanism that checks your medical history, confirms the medicine is appropriate for you, and flags anything that might interact with it. Skipping or shortcutting that step is a safety issue, not a bargain.

The MHRA has warned publicly about counterfeit weight-loss pens circulating online and via social media. Some have contained the wrong medicines entirely. Approximately 20 million doses of illegally traded weight-loss products with an estimated street value of around £45 million were seized in enforcement action during 2025, and a counterfeit tirzepatide manufacturing site was raided in the UK that October. The cheapest listing you find might be coming from a source with no pharmacy registration at all.

Any legitimate online pharmacy dispensing prescription medicines in the UK is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. You can verify ours directly at the GPhC register (premises number 9012878). If a seller can't point you to a verifiable GPhC registration, that's the thing to focus on, not the monthly price.

Price is part of the decision. It shouldn't be the whole of it.
