Mounjaro Price Rises: Autumn 2025

What Our Patients Need to Know

At North Harrow Pharmacy, we understand this news may cause concern for patients currently managing their weight with Mounjaro. We’re committed to providing clear information about these changes and continuing to support you throughout your treatment journey.

Why Are Prices Increasing?

The manufacturer, Eli Lilly, has implemented this price adjustment for several key reasons:

• UK-European Price Alignment – The UK’s initial launch price was significantly lower than other European markets. This adjustment brings UK pricing in line with European standards.
• Global Market Pressures – Pharmaceutical companies are rebalancing pricing structures internationally, particularly between European and US markets.
• Unprecedented Demand – The global demand for GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Wegovy has exceeded expectations, affecting supply chains and pricing strategies worldwide.

Understanding the Price Changes

All Mounjaro dosage strengths are affected by this increase. Patients on maintenance doses will see the most significant changes, with increases exceeding 100% from current prices. Initial doses are also increasing, though the percentage rise is somewhat lower.

Important: These are wholesale price changes from the manufacturer. No UK pharmacy or clinic can avoid these increases as all legitimate providers source through the same licensed supply channels.

What Will North Harrow Pharmacy’s New Prices Be?

We understand that knowing the exact costs is important for planning your treatment. At this time, we are still finalising our new pricing structure to ensure we can offer the most competitive rates possible while maintaining our high standard of clinical care.

We’re committed to keeping our prices as fair and accessible as possible, and we’re exploring all options to minimise the impact on our patients. Rest assured, there will be no surprise charges – you’ll know exactly what to expect before your next prescription.

If You’re Considering Starting Treatment:

We offer comprehensive weight management consultations to determine if Mounjaro is suitable for you. Our team will discuss all available options, including alternative medications that may be more cost-effective.

Alternative Options: Should You Consider Wegovy®?

Both medications are weekly injectable pens that help manage weight by reducing appetite and controlling cravings. Here’s how they compare:

If you’re interested in switching medications, our pharmacists can help determine the equivalent Wegovy dose based on your current Mounjaro treatment, ensuring a smooth transition without losing progress.
