Treatment is licensed from a BMI of 30 — or 27 with a weight-related health condition.

“How much is it?” is the first question almost everyone asks, and the honest answer is: it depends on which treatment and which dose — which is exactly why we do not publish a single headline number that turns out to be wrong for most people.

Here is how the pricing actually works, so you can compare us with anywhere else properly.

Why cost changes with dose

Injectable treatments are priced by strength. You start on the lowest dose and step up over several months, so your monthly cost typically rises as your dose does, then levels off once you settle at a maintenance dose. Any clinic quoting one flat figure is either quoting the starting dose or averaging — ask which. Tablet options are priced differently again, and Alli, the pharmacy orlistat capsule, sits at the budget end of the range.

What should be included

Medicine is only part of it. At Lyng Pharmacy the consultation is free, the pen or tablets come with an in-person demonstration and a proper medication review, check-ins are included rather than charged as extras, and local delivery is free if you would rather not come in. When you compare prices with an online-only service, compare what happens after the parcel arrives — that is usually where the difference sits.

How to get an accurate figure

Take the one-minute suitability check on our weight loss clinic page. Your pharmacist confirms which treatments are appropriate for you and gives you exact prices for the doses you would actually be on, before you commit to anything. Nothing is charged at the consultation stage, and there is no obligation to start.

Switching from another provider

If you are already on treatment elsewhere and paying more than you expected, you can switch to us at your current dose — use the switch form on the weight loss page. We will confirm your dose, review your medicines, and take over your care without restarting the build-up from the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

Why don’t you publish a single price for Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Because the cost depends on dose strength, and your dose changes as treatment builds up. A single figure would be misleading for most people, so we confirm exact prices for your doses at the free consultation.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The suitability check and the pharmacist consultation cost nothing, and you are under no obligation to start treatment afterwards.
Is weight loss treatment available on the NHS?
NHS access exists but is tightly restricted and usually routed through specialist weight management services with long waits. Most people in our clinic are paying privately, which is why we are open about what that costs.
What is the cheapest option?
Alli (orlistat 60mg) is the lowest-cost treatment available directly from a pharmacy, though it works differently from the GLP-1 injections and suits a different person. Your pharmacist will tell you honestly whether it is likely to help in your case.
Can I switch to Lyng Pharmacy without starting again at the lowest dose?
Yes. If your current dose is established, we can continue at that dose after reviewing your history and medicines — use the switch request form on our weight loss page.
