Discount hope as cost of weight loss jab rises
The Chronicle
|August 30, 2025
THE cost of the weight loss jab Mounjaro is expected to be discounted in UK pharmacies when a price rise comes into force next week.
-
Those using the jabs could save more than £80 on the maximum dose.
Pharmacy leaders said the rebate will “mitigate some of the impact” of the hike, although patients should “still anticipate seeing a rise in prices’.
Mounjaro maker Eli Lilly is to increase the UK list price of the drug by up to 170% from Monday. This would send the price of the highest dose from £122 to £330 a month.
However, documents seen by Sky News show the discount plans mean 15mg of Mounjaro will rise from £122 a month to £247.50.
