Ozempic® (semaglutide), made by Novo Nordisk A/S, is a prescription-only medicine in the UK, and what you pay for it depends entirely on which of the three legal routes you take. This tool returns an orientative monthly cost band for each route — not a fixed price, and not a substitute for confirming the real figure with your own pharmacy or prescriber.
Short answer: there is no single figure — it depends on your route. Choose yours below for an orientative monthly band.
Estimate only. This calculator returns an orientative monthly cost band. It is not a quote, not a price guarantee, and not medical advice — and it is not connected to the NHS, any pharmacy or any prescriber. Only your GP, private prescriber or pharmacy can confirm the exact price you will pay.

What actually moves the price
- Which medicine and brand. Ozempic®, Wegovy® and Mounjaro® are different products from different manufacturers, priced independently of one another.
- Dose and stage of treatment. Private and online pharmacy costs typically move as the dose changes over the course of treatment.
- Whether the assessment fee is separate or bundled. Some providers charge a standalone consultation fee; others fold it into the price of the medicine.
- One-off purchase vs a rolling subscription. A subscription structures the ongoing cost differently to a single private prescription.
- Which specific provider you choose. Unlike the NHS charge, private and online pharmacy pricing is not centrally set — it is worth comparing more than one regulated provider before committing.
