Which GLP-1 is right for you? Work it out in three questions.

Take the three questions in order. Needles first: if a weekly pen is a dealbreaker, the daily Wegovy pill is the needle-free route. Results second: Mounjaro currently leads the UK options for average weight loss — around 21–22% at the higher doses in its main trial. Track record third: Wegovy has the longest UK history and is the option shown to cut heart attack and stroke risk in people with existing heart disease. Then a UK prescriber makes the final call after your consultation.

UK providers typically prescribe from a BMI of 30, or from 27 alongside a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea. Most now verify your height and weight with photos or a video call, and the prescriber can decline. Below a BMI of 27, these medicines are generally not prescribed privately in the UK — our BMI 27–30 guide covers the borderline zone in detail.

Everyone dispenses the same UK-licensed medicine; each provider simply sets its own price and bundles a different level of service around it. When we last checked, Mounjaro 2.5mg ranged from £145.99 to £229 for the same four weeks — an £83 gap. That spread is the reason this site exists.

Every provider we list is a GPhC-registered pharmacy or a CQC-regulated clinic dispensing genuine manufacturer stock, so the medicine is identical wherever you order. What differs is the service around it — delivery speed, whether needles are included, how much clinical follow-up you get. Read the support column, then decide. We never list unregulated sellers or “compounded” copies; buying outside regulated channels is genuinely dangerous.

Yes — switching medicine or provider is routine and you buy month by month, so nothing locks you in. A prescriber manages the change and sets the right starting dose on the new medicine; you don’t simply carry your old dose across. Our switching guide walks through it step by step.

Three things from the data: monthly video reviews with a clinician, a refund if the prescriber declines you, and £35 off the first order with code NEWME. The pick never touches the table order, which is always sorted by price — and no provider can pay to move up.

No — and be sceptical of anywhere that hints otherwise. These are prescription-only medicines: a UK clinician reviews your consultation, may ask follow-ups, and can say no. Some providers, including The Weight Clinic, refund you if that happens.
