About this service
From 1st September, Eli Lilly (the manufacturer of Mounjaro weight loss injections) will increase prices in the UK to match those across mainland Europe.
Once the details of the price increase are clear we will review the cost of our service and make you clearly aware of any changes.
There is also a current supply shortage affecting availability. We understand the importance of consistent and reliable supply to our patients and our team is actively working with our suppliers and logistics partners so you can continue your weight loss journey with minimal disruption.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.

Let science help you reach a healthy weight!
Obesity is an issue affecting around one in four people in the UK. The Department of Health and the NHS have been warning about the negative impact obesity can have on a person’s health and wellbeing. The Department of Heath has also recently warned that obesity has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of some cancers, emphasising the importance of eating a healthy, balanced diet coupled with an active lifestyle.
Being overweight can also have an impact on someone’s self-esteem and trigger a host of related health issues. Even so, it can be very difficult to lose weight with many people asking themselves ‘why is it hard to lose weight’. There are multiple factors which could make it harder for people to lose weight, but usually it is because changing habits is a very difficult task as well as resisting comfort eating.
If you’ve tried to lose weight before, or if you have decided to take steps now, your local pharmacy could be a great place to start.
Our pharmacists can provide convenient and personalised help without a trip to your GP or a doctor’s prescription. Weldricks Pharmacists can offer weight loss advice, over the counter medicines advice and prescription-only medicine supply, if appropriate.
To make life easier, you can always book an appointment on the Weldricks App today to kick start your weight loss journey today!

What type of weight loss medication do you supply?
If a patient meets the approved criteria, we can supply prescription only weight loss medications. Medications will be supplied alongside diet and exercise guidance.
How often will I need to order this medication?
If suitable, you will be provided with a month supply at each appointment. The pharmacist holding the consultation will book your next appointment before you leave, with this being 2-3 days before your current supply runs out.
How do I know what strength of injection I will need?
When you attend the pharmacist, you will be given an individual consultation with the pharmacist where they will assess the criteria to determine the correct strength for your weight loss journey.
Is it the same price for all the different strengths?
The price of the weight loss medications will vary depending on the strength provided.
Is this service different to the one’s I have seen online?
With an in-person consultation, you will have access to a personal consultation with a trained pharmacist who will support and guide you through the process. You will have access to this pharmacist throughout the month for any queries or concerns you may have.
You will also be able to take the medication away with you without having to wait for it to be delivered.
