Quick answer
Beyond the headline £64-£113.95 first-month price, oral Wegovy can carry extra costs: separate consultation fees (£20-£50+ at some clinics), per-dispatch delivery charges, higher maintenance-dose pricing once you reach 25mg, and subscription cancellation notice periods. Always confirm total cost with the GPhC-registered provider before ordering. Prescription-only medicine.
Hidden costs of Wegovy tablets UK: what you will actually pay beyond the listed price
The headline price of a Wegovy tablet pre-order in the UK ranges from £64 to £119 per first month. But for many patients, the total real-world cost in the first three months is higher than the listed price suggests. This page explains every cost component to check before you commit.
The five cost components to check
1. Listed price vs actual first-month cost
The publicly visible price on a provider’s website is usually the lowest available price — at the starter dose, for the first month or pack, before any fees. This is the price we track and display. But several additional costs may apply on top of this figure.
2. Consultation fee
Most online clinics include a medical consultation as part of the overall service. However, some providers charge a separate consultation fee that is not included in the listed price. This can range from £20 to over £50. Always check whether the consultation is included before entering the checkout process.
Questions to ask: Is the initial consultation included? Is there a fee for follow-up consultations if I have questions or need dose adjustments?
3. Delivery charges
Most providers offering the Wegovy tablet include free delivery on first orders, but some charge per dispatch. Bolt Pharmacy, which uses a weekly dispensing model, may charge per delivery. At the other end, providers with monthly subscriptions often include delivery in the monthly fee. Confirm this before ordering.
4. Dose escalation pricing
The Wegovy tablet dose escalation schedule runs over 68 weeks from 0.25mg to 2.4mg maintenance. The starting dose costs less to manufacture than maintenance doses, and many providers list their starter-dose price as the headline figure. Ask what the equivalent monthly cost is at the 1.7mg and 2.4mg doses — this is what you will be paying long-term if you reach maintenance.
5. Subscription terms and cancellation fees
Subscription-based providers (including monthly-billing models) may require advance notice to cancel — sometimes 30 days or more. If you decide to stop, pause or switch providers, you may be billed for an additional month. Check the cancellation and pause policy explicitly before starting.
