Pharmacy costs in Monmouthshire
Compare a local pharmacy quote in Abergavenny, Chepstow and Caldicot with online delivery before your next GLP-1 order. Use the worksheet below with your own confirmed prices.
Getting to a pharmacy in Monmouthshire
Monmouthshire runs along the English border, with Chepstow and Caldicot near the Severn crossings in the south. Monmouth sits in the Wye valley and Abergavenny lies under the Black Mountains to the north west. Between them the county is mostly farmland and small villages.
The main towns sit at the corners of the county, so people in central villages around Usk or Raglan often face a drive to collect.
Monmouthshire mixes larger towns with villages. If you live outside Abergavenny or Chepstow, count the trip to collect as part of the cost, especially if the pharmacy needs you to come in for a consultation.
Find a pharmacy in Monmouthshire
The NHS 111 Wales directory lists local pharmacies. A directory entry does not confirm private prescribing, so phone the pharmacy about weight-loss consultations before you travel.

Paying for a private prescription in Wales
NHS prescriptions are free in Wales. A private weight-loss prescription is not covered, so you pay the private price in full wherever you collect or order.
Every pharmacy you use, local or online, must be registered. Check the GPhC register before you pay. Our provider checks guide lists what else to look for.
Moving from a local pharmacy in Monmouthshire
Buying your first supply locally does not tie you to that pharmacy. An online or another local prescriber can assess you as an existing patient. Ask what evidence it needs, whether the assessment costs extra and what happens if it cannot prescribe your current treatment.
Photograph the original dispensing label on your pen carton or tablet box and write down the date of your last dose. Read what loyalty to one pharmacy costs and how to ask your local pharmacy for a better price before you decide.
