How many Wegovy doses come per pen, and what does that mean for price?

Step 1, Understand what you are actually buying per pen

Wegovy pens are pre-set to a single dose strength. The titration schedule published by Novo Nordisk and described in the Wegovy SmPC on the Electronic Medicines Compendium runs from 0.25 mg up through 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg and 1.7 mg, reaching 2.4 mg as the standard maintenance dose. The MHRA also approved a 7.2 mg dose in early 2026, with a dedicated single-dose pen approved on 14 April 2026 for adults with a BMI of 30 or above. At every rung of that ladder, one pen equals one month of treatment, four injections, one per week. You are not buying a multi-dose vial you draw from; you use the pen, then you are done with it. That matters practically: if you move from 1.0 mg to 1.7 mg, your next purchase is a different pen at a different price, and you cannot use residual doses from the earlier strength. If you want to understand how many doses each semaglutide pen contains and how that four-week count works in practice, our dedicated guide walks through the detail. For more on how the volume inside each pen translates to that four-week count, see our breakdown of Wegovy volume per pen.

Step 2, Decode what a headline private price does and does not cover

Private Wegovy prices in the UK vary considerably between providers, and the stated figure does not always mean the same thing. Some clinics quote the medicine alone and charge separately for the consultation, the prescription, and delivery. Others bundle two of the three. A handful include aftercare follow-up; most do not. The result is that a price that looks lower at first glance can finish higher once you add the extras together. The NHS guidance on weight-management injections is written for NHS pathways, but its framing of what responsible supply looks like (clinical review, ongoing support, genuine titration oversight) is a fair checklist to apply to any private quote too. Worth checking: does the price include a clinical consultation, or is that billed once you have already committed? Is delivery free, or added at checkout? Is there an auto-renewing subscription that is hard to pause? Our guide to Wegovy pricing explains what a typical private quote does and does not include, so you know exactly what to compare.

Step 3, Where nume sits on price, and why

nume is not the cheapest option in the UK market. That is a deliberate choice. One transparent price covers the free clinical consultation, the prescription, the medicine, free next-working-day DPD delivery in plain unbranded packaging, and seven-day-a-week priority aftercare. There is no subscription and no auto-renewal; every repeat order is clinically reviewed before supply. If you want to see exactly what each pen costs at every stage of the titration, our overview of Wegovy doses and pricing sets out the figures clearly. You can also see how each dose strength affects the overall cost of treatment on the Wegovy doses and cost page, which also sets out current treatment pricing. What we do not do is print per-pen medicine prices in promotional copy or attach discount codes to prescription products, both of which are, frankly, red flags when you see them elsewhere. A GLP-1 medicine is not a supplement; the clinical review is not an optional extra you can reasonably strip out. Our prescribers are GPhC-registered Independent Prescribers, and you can verify our pharmacy registration number (9012878) directly on the GPhC register. Our clinical team's approach is explained on the clinical team page.

Step 4, Why cheapest is the wrong question for a prescription medicine

The MHRA has publicly warned that fake Wegovy and semaglutide pens are being sold online, including through social media, by sellers who supply medicines without a prescription and any clinical oversight. Some of those counterfeits have contained insulin rather than semaglutide, a genuinely dangerous substitution. The right question for a prescription weight-loss medicine is not which provider quotes the lowest number; it is whether the supply is genuine, the prescriber is qualified, and there is someone available if something goes wrong. NICE's appraisal of semaglutide for weight management (TA875) specifies that it should be used within a framework of clinical oversight and ongoing support, and that framework costs something to provide properly. If you are weighing up your options, the weight-loss treatment overview compares the licensed approaches available in the UK. When you are ready to speak to a prescriber, check your eligibility with our free consultation, it takes a few minutes and the same-day review is included.
