Can I Switch To Wegovy?

 

I'm thinking about switching to Wegovy - is this possible?

Absolutely, switching treatments is common in healthcare and there is a safe and effective way to do this. Our clinicians can help you make the switch to Wegovy from Mounjaro. 

Why choose Wegovy?

No need to restart treatment.

If you’re currently using Mounjaro, we’ll match your dose to the right step-down Wegovy alternative. This means your treatment can continue without interruption as you only need a one-week break.

Proven Effectiveness

Clinical studies show that people using Wegovy can lose, on average, around 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks.(Step 1 Trial)

Additional Benefits

Wegovy is now more cost-effective per pen and is also the first GLP-1 medication licensed to provide heart health benefits. It can be used safely alongside oral contraception and is reported to cause fewer injection site reactions.

 

 

While there's no requirement to switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy, we believe it's essential to keep you fully informed about upcoming changes.

We expect to have the new and updated Mounjaro pricing available later this month.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Mounjaro, has raised UK prices across all dose strengths to match mainland Europe. As a result, Wegovy is now the more cost-effective GLP-1 treatment option for weight management in the UK.

We know unexpected changes like this can be frustrating. Our goal is to support your weight loss journey with as little disruption as possible and help you choose the treatment that best fits your health goals and lifestyle. 

 

I can’t afford Mounjaro anymore. Can I switch to something else?

Yes. With Mounjaro’s price rise, Wegovy is now the more affordable option, starting from £119.99 a month. 

Switching treatments is common in healthcare, just like adjusting medication for high blood pressure or cholesterol to improve results or lower costs. Our clinicians will work with you to find the option that matches your needs, goals, and budget. In order to switch you will need to take a one week break from Mounjaro and start on the Wegovy strength one below the equivalent. (See our chart below for examples and more information).

 

Will I still get support if I move to Wegovy?

Yes. You’ll continue to have full clinical support. Our team will guide you through the switch, check in monthly by email, and be available whenever you have questions.

You’ll also keep access to our new Weight Loss Hub, including practical tips, side-effect advice, and videos, everything you need to stay on track.

 

Could switching cause my weight loss to slow down or reverse?

It’s unlikely you’ll regain weight during the switch. Some people notice a short plateau, while others continue losing steadily, and some even see faster progress once they transition.

The best way to stay on track is to keep to your weekly injection schedule and follow your healthy eating plan and exercise regimen.

 

Why are you suggesting Wegovy as the alternative to Mounjaro?

Our priority is helping you continue your weight loss journey without interruption. If you’re happy with Mounjaro and the new price works for you, you can absolutely stay on it.

But if cost is a barrier, Wegovy provides similar weight-loss results with additional benefits, including support for heart health. If you choose to switch, our team will make the transition safe and smooth so you can keep progressing towards your goals.

 

Will Wegovy cause the same side effects as Mounjaro?

Because Wegovy and Mounjaro work in similar ways, side effects can overlap. If you tolerated Mounjaro well, it’s likely you’ll do well on Wegovy too.

The most common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and occasionally fatigue or headaches. These are often temporary and can be managed with hydration, balanced nutrition, and simple lifestyle adjustments. Our clinical team is here to support you through the switch.

 

Will I have to restart on the lowest Wegovy dose?

Not necessarily. Your starting dose will depend on your current Mounjaro dose and how long you’ve been using it.

In some cases, beginning at a lower Wegovy dose helps minimise side effects and keeps your progress steady.

This isn’t starting over - it’s a clinically safe way to transition while protecting results.

Check out the dose comparison guide below for assistance working out your switching dose. If you’ve had side effects with Mounjaro, you may wish to start at a lower dose of Wegovy than recommended.

Example: If you are currently taking 7.5mg Mounjaro, we will start you on 0.5mg Wegovy after taking a one-week break from Mounjaro.

 

My BMI is below 27. Can I switch to Wegovy?

Possibly. If you're already taking Mounjaro and have been losing weight or have been using it to maintain your target weight, it is possible you may be able to switch to Wegovy. Our prescribing team will need to review your history, whether it be with us, an online pharmacy or another provider, before a prescription can be issued.
