200 ways to pay less for Mounjaro, Wegovy and Foundayo

Practical tips from UK price lists, regulator rulings and what patients report. For the lowest price today, check Monj for Mounjaro, iGovy for Wegovy injections, Ogovy for the Wegovy pill and Dayo for Foundayo.

Prices and policies checked 14 to 15 October 2026. Your prescriber decides your dose. Every tip assumes you are honest with each pharmacy.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Check the price for your dose on Monj (Mounjaro) or iGovy (Wegovy injections) and move to the cheapest registered pharmacy you have not used. Most pharmacies give their biggest discount on the first order, so a new pharmacy often beats your current repeat price.

Find the lowest price

  1. Check the price gap before you reorder. On 14 October 2026 the same 15mg Mounjaro pen cost anywhere from £224.00 to £359.00 across 79 pharmacies on the Monj discount list. That is a £135 gap for one pen. Check the list before every order.
  2. Shop around even at the 2.5mg starter dose. At 2.5mg, Monj found first-order totals from £89.95 to £229.00 on 14 October 2026. Picking from the cheap end saves you £139.05 on your first pen. Sort the Monj discount list by price before you sign up.
  3. Use the average price as your benchmark. Monj put the average 5mg first-order total at £163.70 on 14 October 2026, with the lowest at £120.00. If your quote sits above the average, you are overpaying. Hold your quote up against the Monj discount list.
  4. Compare the total, not the headline price. A cheap pen price can hide delivery, consultation or needle charges. Monj, iGovy, Ogovy and Dayo show all-in totals with codes and delivery added. Start from our compare page and pick on the total you pay.
  5. Recheck the list at every dose step. The cheapest pharmacy at 5mg may not be the cheapest at 7.5mg. On 14 October 2026, 7.5mg totals ran from £171.00 to £294.00 on Monj. Check the Monj discount list again each time your prescriber moves your dose.
  6. Trust prices tested at a real checkout. Monj runs a full checkout on every strength for every provider and re-tests prices daily. A checkout price includes the fees a pharmacy adds at the last step. Use Monj for prices instead of adverts or social posts.
  7. Find the cheapest Wegovy pen on iGovy. On 14 October 2026 the lowest Wegovy 2.4mg total on iGovy was £113.00, across about 72 pharmacies. Totals include delivery and first-order discounts. Prices move often, so open the list on the day you order.
  8. Start Wegovy at the cheapest 0.25mg price. The lowest Wegovy 0.25mg total on iGovy was £44.00 on 14 October 2026. Starter prices differ widely between pharmacies. Pick your first pharmacy from the top of the iGovy list rather than the first advert you see.
  9. Compare the 7.2mg Wegovy dose on its own. Fewer pharmacies sell Wegovy 7.2mg. iGovy listed 58 to 59 of them on 14 October 2026, with the lowest total at £173.00. If your prescriber moves you to this dose, check iGovy again, as your current pharmacy may cost more.
  10. Hide subscription pharmacies on iGovy. iGovy has a "Hide subscription pharmacies" filter. Turn it on if you want to buy one pen at a time with nothing to cancel later. The list then shows only pharmacies you can order from once. Open the iGovy comparison.
  11. Compare Wegovy pill totals on Ogovy. Ogovy compares the Wegovy pill across 45+ pharmacies at 1.5mg, 4mg, 9mg and 25mg. Totals include consultation, dispensing and standard delivery where the pharmacy publishes them. Pick from the cheapest few at your strength.
  12. Check the Wegovy pill price for month two. First-order discounts end after one order. Ogovy keeps a separate retail list for month two onwards. Look up your strength on Ogovy to see what your second pack will cost, then decide whether to stay or move.
  13. Start Foundayo with the Dayo discount list. The Dayo discount price list shows Foundayo prices with first-order codes applied. Pick from the cheapest few. Then check the pharmacy's own checkout shows the same total before you pay.
  14. Look at the last-checked date on Dayo. Each row on the Dayo retail price list shows when the price was last checked, with consultation and delivery included. Favour recently checked rows. Confirm the total at the pharmacy's checkout before you pay.
  15. Know the full price after your first pen. Most discounts cover the first order only. The Monj retail list shows standard Mounjaro prices with no codes, from £99 per pen. Check your strength there so the second month's bill does not catch you out.
  16. Find a pharmacy that prescribes at goal weight. Many larger clinics stop prescribing at a BMI of 30, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Monj listed 37 pharmacies on 14 October 2026 that keep prescribing at a lower BMI. Compare them on the Monj maintenance list.
  17. Compare maintenance prices before you settle. Maintenance pharmacies differ in price too. At 15mg, Monj's maintenance list ran from £224.00 to £319.00 on 14 October 2026. Read the Monj maintenance pharmacy guide and pick on price and BMI rules together.
  18. Use the maintenance lists for tablets. Ogovy and Dayo both keep maintenance lists for people who have reached goal weight. If your prescriber agrees to continue treatment, compare the Dayo maintenance list for Foundayo or Ogovy for the Wegovy pill.
  19. Treat bundle savings as modest. In Monj's worked example, a £330 two-pen 5mg bundle with free delivery saved £39.90 against two single pens at £180 plus £4.95 delivery. That works out at about £20 a pen. See current offers on the Monj bundle page.
  20. Keep any bundle to two pens at a settled dose. Some pharmacies swap an unopened pen after a dose change, some do not. Buy single pens for the first month or two on a new dose. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society strongly advises against stockpiling. Compare Monj bundle prices once your dose settles.

Switch pharmacy each month

  1. Switch to get a first-order discount again. Most pharmacies give their biggest discount on your first order only. Moving to a pharmacy you have not used lets you pay a first-order price again. Read how monthly switching works and pick from our compare page.
  2. Work down the Monj list to a new pharmacy. Sort the Monj discount list by price. Cross off every pharmacy you have ordered from before, then pick the cheapest one left. With 79 pharmacies listed, you have plenty of new options at each dose.
  3. Move Wegovy orders with iGovy. iGovy shows first-order totals for about 72 Wegovy pharmacies. Skip the ones you have used, take the cheapest of the rest, and send proof of your current dose with your consultation.
  4. Switch Wegovy pill pharmacies with Ogovy. The Wegovy pill has first-order discounts too. Use the Ogovy discount list to find a pharmacy you have not used. Tell the new pharmacy your current strength and when you took your last tablet.
  5. Switch Foundayo pharmacies with Dayo. Pharmacies selling Foundayo offer first-order prices as well. Check the Dayo discount list for one you have not used, then compare its later price on the Dayo retail list before you commit.
  6. Tell each new pharmacy your full history. Give every new pharmacy your current medicine, your dose and the date of your last dose. Honest answers let the prescriber pick a safe dose for you. Hidden history can lead to a refused order. See our treatment history guide.
  7. Photograph your prescription label each month. Many pharmacies ask for proof of your current treatment before they prescribe. Take a clear photo of the pharmacy label on each box before you throw the box away. Our label photo guide shows what to capture.
  8. Run the checklist before every switch. Monthly switching means repeating the same steps. Work through our switching checklist each time: proof of treatment, last dose date, delivery day and the full total. You are less likely to miss one.
  9. Order a few days before your last dose. Sign-up and photo checks at a new pharmacy take time, and popular higher doses can sell out. Place your order a few days before you need it to avoid a gap. Read our treatment gaps guide.
  10. Order from one pharmacy per treatment period. Order one supply for each period, from one pharmacy. Ordering from two at once for the same weeks breaks pharmacy rules and can get you refused. Finish with the old pharmacy before the new one ships. See duplicate orders.
  11. Check the switch still saves after postage. Some people find a switch saves little once postage is added. Put the full total at the new pharmacy next to the full total at your current one. Move only when the gap is worth the extra sign-up time.
  12. Check the new pharmacy is registered. Before you order, look the pharmacy up on the GPhC register and check for a UK address and a named superintendent pharmacist. A low price means nothing from an unregistered seller. Use our pharmacy checks.
  13. Use your real details at every pharmacy. Give the same name, date of birth and address at every pharmacy. A second account or changed details at a pharmacy you have used before can get you banned. Switch only to pharmacies where you have never ordered.
  14. Give your true weight at each new pharmacy. New pharmacies check your weight and often ask for a photo. Give your true current weight. If your BMI has dropped below a clinic's limit, look for a maintenance pharmacy on the Monj maintenance list.
  15. Keep a short record of every order. Note the pharmacy, date, dose, price and delivery cost of each order. You can answer a new pharmacy's questions quickly and see which switches saved you money. A note on your phone is enough.
  16. Check the new pharmacy has your dose in stock. Popular higher doses sell out at times. Before you switch, check the new pharmacy shows your strength as available. A cheap price is no use if the pen arrives after your next dose is due.
  17. Ask whether a new prescriber continues your dose. Some pharmacies restart everyone at the lowest dose. Ask before you order whether their prescriber will consider continuing your current dose with proof. The prescriber decides, so check their policy first.
  18. Book delivery for a day you are home. Spare Mounjaro pens belong in the fridge at 2 to 8°C. Choose a delivery day when you will be in, so a new pharmacy's parcel does not sit on the doorstep. Our storage guide covers the rest.
  19. Read the leaving guide for your pharmacy. Each pharmacy handles cancelling and records in its own way. Our guides to leaving MedExpress and Pharmacy2U cover the steps. Read the one for your pharmacy before you move.
  20. Protect your data in every new account. Each switch creates another account holding your health details. Use a strong, different password for each one and delete saved cards you no longer need. Our data privacy guide explains what to check.

Refer-a-friend codes

  1. Keep referral codes out of public groups. On 11 February 2026 the ASA ruled that customers posting Mounjaro referral codes on public social media for UK Meds Direct, MedExpress and Zava were advertising a prescription-only medicine. The complaints were upheld. Read the Osborne Clarke report.
  2. Expect credit from posted codes to be cancelled. After the ASA ruling, MedExpress cancelled the reward credits of customers who had posted their codes in public. Credit you earn from a Facebook group or forum post may never reach you. See our referral rules guide.
  3. Know the pharmacy is held to account. The ASA held the pharmacies responsible even though their own terms banned public posting of codes. Expect pharmacies to check where referrals come from and cancel rewards linked to public posts.
  4. Stop chasing people to use your code. Hunting for strangers to use your code takes hours and pays only if they order. Switching to a pharmacy you have not used often saves you more, straight away. Compare first-order prices on Monj or iGovy.
  5. Value referral credit only if you will spend it. Referral rewards usually arrive as account credit at one pharmacy. The credit is worth something only if you keep ordering there. Check whether that pharmacy's normal price costs more than the credit saves. See what credit is worth.
  6. Check you qualify before you rely on a code. MedExpress says its referral discount is for a customer's first-ever eligible order. If you have ordered there before, the code will not apply. Read the referral terms before you count on the saving.
  7. Compare a referral code with the public code. A friend's referral code may give less than the pharmacy's own new-customer code. Try both at checkout and keep the larger saving. The discount code pages on Monj list current pharmacy codes.
  8. Price your first three orders, not one. A referral discount lowers one order. Add up three months at that pharmacy, using its full price after the discount. Compare the sum with switching each month. Our three-order guide shows how.
  9. Watch for referral credit that ties you in. Credit you can spend only on a later order keeps you at one pharmacy. If its full price is high, staying costs more than the credit is worth. Check that pharmacy against the Monj retail list.
  10. Read reviews that end in a code with care. A post that ends with a referral code earns the writer money if you order. Treat its praise with care. Check the pharmacy's price on Monj and its registration before you decide.
  11. Confirm the code applied before you pay. Referral codes sometimes fail at checkout. Look for the discount line in your basket before you pay. If you see none, contact the pharmacy first, as many will not adjust an order afterwards. See code not applied.
  12. Share a code only with someone who asks. If a friend asks where you order, a private message is the place for your code. Public posts were the problem in the ASA ruling, which treated them as advertising a prescription medicine.
  13. Skip referral credit when you price match MedExpress. A MedExpress price match fails if you used any other discount, code, credit or referral on that order. Work out which saving is larger before you order. The Monj price match guide sets out the rules.
  14. Read the referral terms before you share. Each pharmacy sets its own referral rules, such as who qualifies and when credit pays out. Many ban public posting outright. Read the terms in your account before you pass a code to anyone.
  15. Pick the pharmacy on price, then the code. A referral offer can pull you towards a pharmacy you would never choose on price. Find the cheapest all-in total first on our compare page. Use a code only if that pharmacy already wins.
  16. Check when your referral credit expires. Some pharmacies put an expiry date on account credit. If you switch away, you may lose what is left. Check the expiry in your account and spend the credit on an order you had already planned.
  17. Never pay a stranger for a code or pen. Social media sellers sometimes offer codes or cut-price pens. Buying from them risks fake medicine and lost money. Order only from a registered UK pharmacy. Our fake medicines guide shows the warning signs.
  18. Never open a second account for a code. Referral codes are for first orders. Opening a second account with altered details to use one breaks pharmacy rules and can get you banned. Move to a pharmacy you have never used instead.
  19. Remove codes from public bios and signatures. A code in a profile bio, forum signature or public comment counts as a public post. The ASA ruling covered codes shared on public social media. Delete any code you have left on a public profile.
  20. Send friends a price list instead of a code. When a friend asks how to pay less, send them Monj or iGovy rather than your code. They see every first-order price and can choose the cheapest pharmacy for themselves.

Subscriptions and cancelling

  1. Put your renewal date in your calendar. Subscriptions charge automatically before each delivery. Add the renewal date to your phone calendar with a reminder two days before. You then have time to cancel or pause if you plan to switch. See our subscriptions guide.
  2. Cancel in writing and keep the proof. Cancel through your account or by email so you have a record. Save the confirmation. If a charge appears later, you can show the date you cancelled. Our cancelling guide lists what to keep.
  3. Choose one-off orders if you switch monthly. A one-off order leaves nothing to cancel when you move on. If you plan to switch each month, pick pharmacies that sell single orders. Read the order terms on the pharmacy's site before you pay.
  4. Check what a subscription discount covers. Some plans cut the price only on later orders, or only for a set number of months. Read how long the discount lasts and what happens if your dose changes. Compare the plan with one-off prices on Monj.
  5. Look for a minimum term before you sign up. Some plans need several orders before you can leave without a fee. Search the terms for "minimum" and "cancellation fee" before you subscribe. Walk away if the plan ties you in for longer than you want.
  6. Cancel fully when you move pharmacy. Pausing keeps your account and payment set up to restart. Cancelling stops all future orders. If you are moving to a new pharmacy, cancel fully so no pen ships by mistake.
  7. Update your plan after a dose change. A subscription may keep sending your old strength. When your prescriber changes your dose, check the next order shows the new strength before it ships. Contact the pharmacy straight away if it does not.
  8. Delete your saved card when you leave. After you cancel, remove your card from the pharmacy account. A stored card makes an accidental repeat order easy. Check your bank app the following month for any charge you did not expect.
  9. Cancel before the dispatch cut-off. Most pharmacies prepare an order a few days before it ships. Cancel before that cut-off or you may pay for one more month. Find the cut-off in your account or the plan terms.
  10. Dispute a charge made after you cancelled. If a pharmacy charges you after you cancelled, email them your cancellation proof and ask for a refund. If they refuse, contact your card provider and ask about a chargeback.
  11. See the old plan marked cancelled first. Before a new pharmacy approves your order, check your old account shows the plan as cancelled. Two live plans can send pens for the same month, which breaks pharmacy rules. See duplicate orders.
  12. Check a Wegovy pill plan against retail prices. Some pharmacies sell the Wegovy pill on a monthly plan. Ogovy's retail list shows prices from month two onwards. Compare the plan price with Ogovy before you agree to repeat orders.
  13. Compare a Foundayo plan with one-off prices. If a pharmacy offers Foundayo on a repeat plan, set its monthly price against the Dayo retail list. Take the plan only if it beats the cheapest one-off total with delivery included.
  14. Read the plan rules for the large providers. Numan, Voy and Juniper each run subscriptions with their own rules. Our guides to Numan and Voy explain discounts and cancelling. Read the one for your provider before you sign up.
  15. Screenshot the terms on the day you subscribe. Pharmacies can change their terms. Take a screenshot of the price and the cancellation rules when you sign up. If a dispute comes up, you can show what you agreed to.

Back to the top

Price match and retention offers

  1. Send the rival pharmacy's own product page. Pharmacies will not match a comparison site listing. Send the rival pharmacy's own page showing strength, price and delivery. Find the cheapest on Monj, then follow through to the pharmacy's page.
  2. Match the same strength, pen and quantity. A price match needs the same strength, pen and quantity. Compare totals with delivery included. A request based on a bundle or a different strength will be refused. The Monj price match guide has the details.
  3. Claim a MedExpress match within 7 days. MedExpress matches named rivals such as Boots Online Doctor, Superdrug Online Doctor, Zava, Numan and Pharmacy2U. You claim within 7 days of buying. The order must be at least £99.99 and credit is capped at £40.
  4. Know a MedExpress match pays as credit. MedExpress pays a price match as account credit, not money back to your card. That credit helps only if you order there again. Weigh it against a first-order price at a new pharmacy on Monj.
  5. Ask Zava to match a regular price. Zava matches regular advertised prices, not offers, up to a £50 difference. The refund comes after approval. Send the rival's standard price page rather than a promotion.
  6. Arrange an IQ Doctor match before you order. IQ Doctor matches deals and offers, but you arrange the match before you order. Send the rival's page first and wait for confirmation before you pay.
  7. Email Farmeci before you place the order. Farmeci matches deals by email before you order and does not stack discounts. Send the competitor's page, get the agreed price in writing, then place the order.
  8. Ask your current pharmacy for a match code. Many pharmacies match only when you ask. Email yours with a cheaper rival's page and ask for a code. Wait until the code arrives before you order, as a match after payment is harder to get.
  9. Use a one-off price in a match request. Pharmacies usually leave subscription prices out of price matching. Base your request on a one-off order from the rival. Compare one-off totals on Monj or iGovy to find a price worth sending.
  10. Give price as your reason when you cancel. Some people find that starting to cancel and naming price as the reason brings a discount on the next order. Give your honest reason and see what comes back. Our retention discount guide explains what to check.
  11. Compare a retention offer with a switch. A retention discount can still cost more than a first-order price elsewhere. Set the offer against the cheapest new pharmacy on Monj or iGovy before you accept.
  12. Ask about codes for existing customers. Some providers run standing percentage codes for existing customers or short promotions. Check your emails and account page, or ask support whether a code applies to your next order.
  13. Ask your local pharmacy to match online. Some high street pharmacies also prescribe online. Show them a lower online total and ask whether they can match it. Our guide to asking for a better price covers what to say.
  14. Ask whether an old price freeze covers you. Pharmacy2U froze Mounjaro prices "until further notice" on 18 August 2025. Ask your pharmacy whether any freeze still applies to you, then check the answer against the Monj discount list.
  15. Ask whether the Lilly rebate reached your price. Lilly offered pharmacies a retrospective rebate from September 2025, to be passed on to patients. Lilly did not say how long it lasts or its value. Ask your pharmacy whether it lowered your price as a result.

Back to the top

Hidden costs

  1. Look for consultation fees at each review. Some pharmacies add a consultation or review fee on top of the medicine price, sometimes at every review. Look for it at checkout. Ogovy and Dayo fold these fees into their totals where the pharmacy publishes them.
  2. Check needles and a sharps bin are included. Needles do not come in the Mounjaro box. Most pharmacies include them, while some charge extra. Check the basket before you pay, and ask for a sharps bin if you do not have one.
  3. Count chilled delivery on every order. Delivery is charged per order, and pens travel chilled. A pharmacy with a cheaper pen and dearer delivery can cost you more. Check the Monj delivery options guide and compare totals.
  4. Expect the discount on the first pen only. A first-order discount usually covers the first pen. If you add a second pen to that order, it may be charged at full price. Check the basket total line by line before you pay.
  5. Ask your prescriber about staying on your dose. Prices rise at each dose step. If you tolerate your current dose and your prescriber agrees, staying on it costs less each month. The prescriber decides, so raise it at your review. See increase, stay or reduce.
  6. Treat a price far below the rest as a warning. There is no licensed generic tirzepatide. Unbranded or "compounded" products are unregulated, and the MHRA has seized counterfeit pens. If a price sits far below the lowest on Monj, do not buy. See fake medicines.
  7. Check cashback terms before you count on them. TopCashback lists MedExpress for new customers but does not say whether weight-loss orders qualify. Cashback is worked out on the item price without VAT, delivery and fees. Never pick a dearer pharmacy for cashback.
  8. Recheck your NHS eligibility from time to time. NHS eligibility for weight-loss injections widens over time. Ask your GP whether you now qualify. There is no NHS supply of the Wegovy pill or Foundayo at present. Read NHS and private.
  9. Expect list prices to change without much notice. Lilly raised the UK list price of Mounjaro from 1 September 2025, with 15mg rising to £330. Prices can move again. Check the Monj discount list before each order instead of assuming last month's price.
  10. Store spare pens properly to avoid waste. A spoiled pen costs you a full replacement. Keep spare pens in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and never freeze them. A pen in use can stay below 30°C for up to 30 days. Read our storage guide.

Back to the top

Bundles and timing

  1. Treat a bundle saving as modest. Monj calls the bundle saving real but modest. In its worked example, a two-pen 5mg bundle at £330 saved £39.90 against two single orders, about £20 a pen. See Monj bundle prices before you commit.
  2. Buy single pens for the first months on a new dose. Some pharmacies swap an unopened pen when your dose changes and some refuse. Buy single pens for the first month or two on a new strength, then look at bundles once your prescriber has settled your dose.
  3. Get the pen swap policy in writing. Before you pay for two pens at once, email the pharmacy and ask whether they will swap an unopened pen if your prescriber changes your dose. Keep their reply with your order confirmation.
  4. Order one month at a time and never stockpile. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society strongly advises against stockpiling because stockpiling creates supply pressures. Buy what your prescription covers from one pharmacy and leave stock on the shelf for other patients.
  5. Use one pharmacy for each treatment period. Never order from two pharmacies to cover the same weeks, even when both have a good offer. Place one order per period, then compare prices again before the next one is due.
  6. Order a few days before your next dose. Popular higher doses sell out, and a new pharmacy needs time for sign-up and photo checks. Order a few days before your next dose is due so a delay does not push you into a pricier rush order.
  7. Recheck prices a week before each order. Monj re-tests prices daily, so last month's cheapest pharmacy may have slipped down the table. Open the Monj discount price list a week before your order and pick from the current figures.
  8. Add delivery to each single order when you compare. Part of any bundle saving comes from paying delivery once. In Monj's example, single pens carried £4.95 delivery each month and the bundle had free delivery. Add delivery to every single order before you compare totals.
  9. Check your fridge before you buy a spare pen. A spare pen must stay in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and must never freeze. If your fridge runs cold at the back, a frozen spare is money lost. Single pens carry less of that risk.
  10. Plan deliveries around the 30-day in-use limit. A pen in use can be kept below 30°C for up to 30 days. Keep unopened pens in the fridge, and time each order so a new pen arrives before the one in use reaches its limit.
  11. Pick a delivery day when you are home. Cold-chain parcels need someone to take them in. Check your diary before you order and choose a day you will be in. A missed parcel can leave you paying for a second, rushed delivery.
  12. Switch pharmacy as your current supply ends. Most pharmacies give their biggest discount on the first order only. Move to a new pharmacy as your last pen nears its end, and tell them your current dose and last dose date.

Doses and maintenance

  1. Budget for a higher price at each dose step. On the Monj list for 14 October 2026, the lowest first-order price rose from £89.95 at 2.5mg to £224.00 at 15mg. Your prescriber decides each step, so put money aside before your next review.
  2. Talk about cost and tolerance at your review. A lower dose you tolerate costs less each month. Tell your prescriber how you feel on your current dose and what you pay. The prescriber decides whether you stay, move up or come down.
  3. Learn your clinic's BMI cut-off before goal weight. Many larger clinics stop prescribing at a BMI threshold, usually 30, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Ask your pharmacy where its cut-off sits before you reach goal, so a stop does not catch you out.
  4. Compare the 37 Monj maintenance pharmacies. On 14 October 2026 Monj listed 37 pharmacies that keep prescribing after goal weight at a lower BMI. Compare them on the Monj maintenance price list. Your prescriber sets the maintenance dose.
  5. Shop around for a 15mg maintenance price. Maintenance prices vary as well. At 15mg the Monj maintenance list ran from £224.00 to £319.00 on 14 October 2026. If your prescriber keeps you on 15mg, pay the lower end of that range.
  6. Find pharmacies that prescribe below BMI 25. Maintenance pharmacies often prescribe at a BMI under 25. The Monj maintenance pharmacy guide lists them. Give each one your true weight and treatment history at the consultation.
  7. See the £135 gap at 15mg. On 14 October 2026 the same 15mg pen cost £224.00 at the cheapest pharmacy and £359.00 at the dearest on Monj. Find your strength on the Monj discount list before you accept a quote.
  8. Shop hard for your first 2.5mg pen. Starter prices spread widely. On 14 October 2026 a 2.5mg first order on Monj ran from £89.95 to £229.00, with an average of £137.88. Compare all 79 pharmacies before your first order.
  9. Test your 7.5mg or 10mg quote against the average. Monj's averages on 14 October 2026 were £215.59 at 7.5mg and £242.78 at 10mg. If your quote sits above the average for your prescribed dose, a cheaper pharmacy is on the list.
  10. Keep to the dose on your label. Never split, stretch or take extra doses from a pen to save money. Each pen holds the dose on its label. If cost is a struggle, tell your prescriber and compare pharmacies instead.
  11. Ask about review fees before a dose step. Some pharmacies charge a consultation or review fee, sometimes at every review. Ask before your next dose step whether a fee applies, and add the figure to the pen price when you compare.
  12. Mention money at every prescriber review. Your prescriber only weighs cost if you raise the subject. Say what you pay each month and ask what options suit you. The dose stays their decision, and the pharmacy you buy from stays yours.
  13. Give each new pharmacy your exact dose and date. When you switch, state your current strength and the date of your last dose. The new prescriber then decides how to continue. Clear details avoid delays and wasted pens.
  14. Plan for the full price from month two. First-order discounts usually cover the first pen only. Check the Monj retail price list, where standard prices start from £99 per pen, for what you will pay on repeat orders at your dose.
  15. Use the maintenance list for your medicine. iGovy, Ogovy and Dayo each run a maintenance list beside the discount list. Once your prescriber moves you to maintenance, compare on the list for your medicine, such as iGovy for Wegovy injections.

Cheap but safe

  1. Know there is no licensed generic tirzepatide. No licensed generic tirzepatide exists in the UK. Anything sold as unbranded or "compounded" tirzepatide is unregulated. Buy Mounjaro only from a registered pharmacy with a prescription.
  2. Treat a price far below the lists as a warning. An unusually low price is a warning sign. If a seller undercuts every registered pharmacy on Monj by a wide margin, assume the product is fake or unregulated and walk away.
  3. Remember the MHRA has seized fake pens. The MHRA has seized counterfeit pens. A fake can hold the wrong drug or none at all. Read our fake medicines guide before you order from a name you do not know.
  4. Never buy medicine from social media sellers. Sellers in groups, chats and marketplace posts are not registered pharmacies. You get no prescriber, no safety checks and no way to complain. Pick a pharmacy from Monj, iGovy, Ogovy or Dayo instead.
  5. Look the pharmacy up on the official register. Before you pay a new pharmacy, find its entry on the official pharmacy register and check the name and address match the website. Our verified pharmacy checks guide shows each step.
  6. Avoid anything labelled for research use. Products marked "research only" or "not for human use" are unregulated. Nobody prescribes them and nobody checks their quality. A low price on a product like this buys you risk, not savings.
  7. Expect health questions before any sale. A legitimate pharmacy asks about your health and checks your details before a prescriber approves treatment. If a seller ships on payment with no questions, close the page and choose a registered pharmacy.
  8. Choose a pharmacy that ships pens chilled. Pens need cold-chain packaging. A cheap seller who posts pens in a plain envelope risks a damaged medicine. Compare delivery methods in the Monj delivery options guide and count delivery in the total.
  9. Inspect the box and label on arrival. Look for intact seals, a pharmacy label with your name and a batch number. If anything looks wrong, do not use the medicine. Contact the pharmacy and ask for a replacement.
  10. Give true details to every pharmacy. Never give a false weight, open a second account or use someone else's identity to win a discount. False details put your safety at risk. Honest switching to a new pharmacy still saves money.
  11. Never buy a pen from another patient. You cannot tell how a second-hand pen was stored, and passing on prescription medicine is unsafe. Buy new supply from a pharmacy that has prescribed for you, even when a private sale looks cheaper.
  12. Look for a named pharmacist and real address. A registered pharmacy shows a registration number, a physical address and a named superintendent pharmacist on its site. Missing details are a red flag whatever the price.
  13. Pay by card through the pharmacy checkout. Pay through the pharmacy's own checkout with a debit or credit card. Refuse bank transfers to individuals and gift card payments. A card payment gives you more protection if an order goes wrong.
  14. Match the brand name on the box. Mounjaro, Wegovy and Foundayo are brand names from licensed makers. If your box shows another name, an unbranded label or a foreign leaflet only, do not take the medicine and contact the pharmacy.

Wegovy injections

  1. Check iGovy for the cheapest 0.25mg start. On 14 October 2026 iGovy found Wegovy 0.25mg from £44.00, with delivery and first-order discounts included. Compare the iGovy price list before your first order.
  2. Compare all 72 Wegovy pharmacies. iGovy tracks about 72 to 73 pharmacies for Wegovy injections. The same strength sells at many prices, so read the whole iGovy list before you settle on a familiar name.
  3. Use the iGovy filter to hide subscriptions. iGovy has a "Hide subscription pharmacies" filter. Switch the filter on if you want to buy one pen at a time with no rolling plan, then compare the totals left on the iGovy list.
  4. Know the lowest 0.5mg and 1mg prices. iGovy's lowest all-in prices on 14 October 2026 were £63.00 for 0.5mg and £70.00 for 1mg. If your quote sits well above those figures, check iGovy for a cheaper pharmacy.
  5. Set money aside for 1.7mg and 2.4mg. The lowest iGovy prices on 14 October 2026 were £93.00 for 1.7mg and £113.00 for 2.4mg. Your prescriber decides when you step up, so build the higher cost into your budget early.
  6. Compare early if you are prescribed 7.2mg. Only 58 to 59 pharmacies listed Wegovy 7.2mg on iGovy, with the lowest at £173.00. Choice is narrower at this dose, so check the iGovy list well before your order is due.
  7. Read the iGovy retail view for repeat orders. First-order offers end after your first purchase. The retail view on iGovy shows what you pay on repeat orders. Compare both views before you choose a pharmacy for the months ahead.
  8. Ask a pharmacy to match a cheaper Wegovy price. Zava matches regular advertised prices, not offers, up to a £50 difference. Send the rival's own product page, because pharmacies will not match a comparison site. The Monj price match guide lists the rules.
  9. Add delivery before you compare a Wegovy quote. iGovy prices are all-in totals with delivery included. When a pharmacy site shows a lower pen price, add delivery and any fees first, then compare the result with iGovy.
  10. Move Wegovy pharmacy for a first-order discount. Most pharmacies keep their biggest discount for a first order. When your Wegovy supply nears its end, pick a pharmacy you have not used from iGovy and give them your full treatment history.
  11. Use iGovy for Wegovy and Monj for Mounjaro. Wegovy and Mounjaro prices move separately, and Monj covers Mounjaro only. Check iGovy for Wegovy injections, and read our iGovy price guide to get the most from the list.
  12. Ask your prescriber whether Wegovy suits you. If cost is a strain on another medicine, ask your prescriber whether Wegovy injections suit you. iGovy's lowest Wegovy price started at £44.00 on 14 October 2026. Any change of medicine is the prescriber's decision.

Wegovy pill

  1. Plan to pay privately for the Wegovy pill. The NHS does not supply the Wegovy pill at present, so every pack is a private cost. Compare more than 45 pharmacies on Ogovy before you place an order.
  2. Compare the pill at your prescribed strength. Ogovy lists the Wegovy pill at 1.5mg, 4mg, 9mg and 25mg. Pick the strength your prescriber has set and compare totals for that strength only on Ogovy.
  3. Find your first pill order on the discount list. The Ogovy discount list shows each price with the code applied. Use the list to find the cheapest first order, then copy the code from the discount codes page on Ogovy.
  4. Check the repeat price on the Ogovy retail list. The first-order code usually ends after one purchase. The Ogovy retail list shows prices from month two onwards, so check the repeat cost on Ogovy before you sign up anywhere.
  5. Count consultation and dispensing fees on the pill. Ogovy totals include consultation, dispensing and standard delivery where the pharmacy publishes them. If a pharmacy page quotes a lower figure, find out which fees the figure leaves out.
  6. Read the Ogovy offers page before each order. Pharmacies run occasional promotions on the Wegovy pill. Look at the offers page on Ogovy before each order, as a new offer may beat your current pharmacy's repeat price.
  7. Use the Ogovy maintenance list after goal weight. Once your prescriber moves you to maintenance, check the Ogovy maintenance list. Some pharmacies stop prescribing at a lower weight, and prices differ between those who carry on.
  8. Keep pill and injection prices apart. The Wegovy pill and Wegovy injections are priced differently. Use Ogovy for the pill and iGovy for injections, so each comparison sets like against like.
  9. Ask your prescriber before moving to the pill. Moving from injections to the Wegovy pill is a prescriber decision. Read our tablet treatment guide, raise the option at your review, and compare prices on Ogovy once you have an answer.
  10. Tell a new pill pharmacy about your supply. When you move to a new pharmacy for a first-order price on the Wegovy pill, give your strength, start date and how many tablets you have left. Honest details keep the switch quick and safe.

Foundayo

  1. Budget for Foundayo as a private cost. Foundayo is not supplied on the NHS at present. Every pack is a private purchase, so check Dayo for the current lowest prices before you order.
  2. Start with the Dayo discount list. For a first order, open the Dayo discount price list. Pick a pharmacy you have not used before, apply the listed code at checkout and confirm the total before you pay.
  3. Check the Foundayo repeat price as well. The Dayo retail price list includes consultation and delivery. Look at the repeat price beside the first-order offer, because you pay the repeat price for longer.
  4. Read the last-checked date on each Dayo row. Each row on the Dayo retail list shows when the price was last checked. Favour recent figures, and confirm the price at the pharmacy checkout before you pay.
  5. Use the Dayo maintenance list later on. When your prescriber moves you to maintenance, check the Dayo maintenance price list. Prices and prescribing rules differ between pharmacies at this stage.
  6. Buy Foundayo only from a registered pharmacy. A newer medicine attracts fake sellers. Buy Foundayo only on prescription from a registered pharmacy, and run our verified pharmacy checks before you pay a new one.
  7. Switch Foundayo pharmacy as a pack runs out. First-order discounts are the biggest saving. As your Foundayo pack nears its end, pick a pharmacy you have not used on Dayo and give them your true treatment history.
  8. Read our guide to the Dayo lists. Our Dayo Foundayo price guide explains the discount, retail and maintenance lists. Read the guide once, then check Dayo each month to see whether your pharmacy is still the cheapest.
  9. Ask your prescriber before changing to Foundayo. Changing medicine to save money is your prescriber's decision. Ask whether Foundayo suits you, then compare prices on Dayo with the list for your current medicine.
  10. Ask about Foundayo fees not shown on the list. Some pharmacies add review fees or delivery on top of the tablet price. Compare full totals on Dayo, and ask the pharmacy about any fee you cannot see before you pay.

Local pharmacy or online

  1. Ask your local pharmacy for a full price. Many high street pharmacies run private weight-loss services. Ask for the full monthly price, including any consultation fee, and set the figure beside the Monj list for your dose.
  2. Count the delivery you save by collecting. Collecting from a local pharmacy removes the delivery charge. Add delivery to each online quote, then compare like with like using our local pharmacy pages.
  3. Show your local pharmacy a rival price. Pharmacies will not match a comparison site listing. Bring the rival's own product page showing strength, price and delivery, and ask whether your local pharmacy will match the total.
  4. Put a figure on staying loyal. A familiar local pharmacy has value, so price that value. Work out the monthly gap between their total and the cheapest online total, and decide whether the convenience is worth the sum.
  5. Ask whether in-person weigh-ins are free. Some local pharmacies weigh you in the consultation room. Ask whether checks carry a fee, and include any charge when you compare the local total with an online pharmacy.
  6. Phone ahead for stock at your local pharmacy. Higher doses sell out. Call your local pharmacy a few days before you need a pen, so a gap in stock does not force you into a pricier urgent order online.
  7. Bring proof of treatment when you change pharmacy. Moving between a local and an online pharmacy works best with proof. Keep order emails and photos of your pen labels to hand, so the new prescriber can confirm your dose without delay.
  8. Ask a local pharmacy about paying per visit. Many online services run rolling subscriptions. A local pharmacy may let you pay per visit with no plan. Ask, then compare the monthly total with the best online option for your dose.
  9. Bring a cool bag when you collect a pen. Collecting in person means no parcel left on a doorstep. Take a cool bag, go straight home and put the pen in the fridge at 2 to 8°C.
  10. Work through our local and online comparison. Our local and online price comparison guide lists what to add to each quote. Fill in both totals for your prescribed dose and choose the lower one.

Budgeting and records

  1. Keep every order confirmation in one folder. Make an email folder for treatment orders and move each confirmation into the folder. A new pharmacy may ask for proof of supply, and the folder gives you the dates and prices in seconds.
  2. Photograph each prescription label. Take a clear photo of the pharmacy label on every box before you bin the packaging. The label shows your name, medicine, strength and date, which a new pharmacy often asks to see.
  3. Write down the date of every dose. Note each dose in your phone calendar. When you switch, the new pharmacy asks for your last dose date, and a missed or wrong date can hold up your order.
  4. Set your budget from the repeat price. Base your monthly budget on the repeat price at your dose, not the first-order offer. The Monj retail list shows standard prices, so you know the worst case each month.
  5. Record the full sum you paid each month. Keep a note of what left your account for each order, with delivery and fees included. After three months you see your true cost and whether switching pharmacy saved you money.
  6. Stop posting referral codes in public groups. In a ruling dated 11 February 2026, the ASA found customer posts of Mounjaro referral codes advertised a prescription-only medicine. Osborne Clarke reported the complaints were upheld. Switching pharmacy is a cleaner saving.
  7. Do not count on referral credit. After the ASA ruling, MedExpress cancelled the reward credits of customers who posted codes in public. Leave referral credit out of your budget, and treat any credit you receive as a bonus.
  8. Read the MedExpress price match rules. MedExpress pays matches as account credit capped at £40. You must claim within 7 days, order at least £99.99 and use no other discount, code, credit or referral on that order.
  9. Check cashback terms before you rely on them. TopCashback lists MedExpress for new customers, but the page does not say whether weight-loss orders qualify. Cashback excludes VAT, delivery and fees. Never pick a dearer pharmacy for cashback.
  10. Ask about a retention offer before you cancel. Patients report that saying the price is too high and starting to cancel sometimes brings a discount on the next order. Ask once, then compare the offer with the cheapest pharmacy on the list.
  11. Note each subscription renewal date. Put the renewal date of any subscription in your calendar with a reminder two days before. Cancel in time if you plan to switch, so you do not pay for a month you will not use.
  12. Look for codes for existing customers. Some providers run standing percentage codes for existing customers or occasional promotions. Check your account page and emails before each repeat order, and compare the result with a new pharmacy's first-order price.
  13. Keep a buffer for price rises. Lilly raised the UK list price of Mounjaro from 1 September 2025, with the 15mg list price rising to £330. Keep a small monthly buffer so a future rise does not stop your treatment.
  14. Recheck your NHS eligibility each year. NHS eligibility for weight-loss injections widens over time. Ask your GP once a year whether you now qualify. The NHS does not supply the Wegovy pill or Foundayo at present.
  15. Check needles and a sharps bin are included. Needles are not in the Mounjaro box. Most pharmacies include needles and a sharps bin, and some charge. Ask before you order, and add any charge to the total you compare.
  16. Arrange a price match before you order. IQ Doctor and Farmeci agree price matches before you place the order, and Farmeci asks by email with no stacked discounts. Send your proof first, wait for a code, then check out.

Money-saving questions

What is the quickest way to pay less for Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Check the price for your dose on Monj (Mounjaro) or iGovy (Wegovy injections) and move to the cheapest registered pharmacy you have not used. Most pharmacies give their biggest discount on the first order, so a new pharmacy often beats your current repeat price.

How big is the price gap between UK pharmacies?

On 14 October 2026 the Monj discount list showed the same 15mg Mounjaro pen from £224.00 to £359.00 across 79 pharmacies, a £135 gap. At 2.5mg the range was £89.95 to £229.00.

Is sharing my refer-a-friend code online allowed?

Posting a Mounjaro referral code in public can count as advertising a prescription-only medicine. In a ruling dated 11 February 2026 the ASA upheld complaints about customer posts for three pharmacies, and MedExpress cancelled the posters’ reward credit. Switching pharmacy is often cheaper anyway.

Are bundles of two or three pens worth it?

Sometimes, once your dose is stable. Monj calls the bundle saving real but modest, about £20 a pen in its worked example. If your dose changes, some pharmacies will not swap an unopened pen, and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society advises against stockpiling.
