Boots Mounjaro Price 2026
Boots Online Doctor publishes a single price per pen with no plan to choose: £176.97 at 2.5mg, £189.97 at 5mg, £267.97 at 7.5mg, £302.97 at 10mg, £314.97 at 12.5mg and £334.97 at 15mg.
Slinic charges £129 to £267 per pen for the identical Eli Lilly product. There is no dose at which Boots is the cheaper option, and no discount code needed at either provider to reach these figures — this is list price against list price.

What that means over a year on Mounjaro
Based on 12 orders at the same dose, medication price only. Slinic’s £4.99 delivery adds £59.88 across a year.

Wegovy Oral (semaglutide tablets)
Both providers dispense the licensed once-daily semaglutide tablet. Slinic is cheaper at all four strengths, and the gap widens as you titrate up. At the 25mg maintenance dose, where most patients end up long term, Slinic is £70 a month cheaper. More detail in our Wegovy pill UK guide.

| 25mg maintenance | £164.00 | £229.00 | £70.00 |
Medication prices per month. At the 25mg maintenance dose, £70 a month is £840 a year. Order Wegovy Oral.
Foundayo® (orforglipron) — from £83 a month, at Slinic only
The first once-daily GLP-1 tablet of its kind to reach UK pharmacies, authorised by the MHRA in August 2026. Taken as a film-coated tablet with no food or water timing restrictions. Treatment starts at 0.8mg once daily, then increases to 2.5mg after at least 30 days, with each subsequent increase also after a minimum of 30 days where clinically appropriate and tolerated. We could not identify Foundayo on Boots Online Doctor’s published treatment pages at the time of writing. See our Foundayo doses and titration guide and the switching from Mounjaro guide.

Clinical Governance
Slinic is operated through Brierfield Late Night Pharmacy in Lancashire, an established GPhC-regulated, NHS-contracted community pharmacy. Its founder, Shadeia Younis, has 25 years of clinical pharmacy experience and has owned and operated community pharmacies since 2008. Every prescription and dose escalation is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber before approval. Read more about Slinic.
| Standard | Slinic | Boots Online Doctor |
|---|---|---|
| GPhC registered pharmacy | ✅ No. 1033729 | ✅ Boots is a GPhC-registered pharmacy group |
| CQC-registered prescribing service | Regulated through its registered pharmacy and registered healthcare professionals; CQC registration applies to certain service models and is not a simple quality comparison | ✅ Boots Digital Health Ltd is CQC registered |
| NHS-contracted community pharmacy | ✅ Yes | Boots stores are NHS-contracted for general dispensing; the private weight loss service is not identified as NHS-contracted |
| SCOPE obesity certification | ✅ Clinical leadership SCOPE certified | Weight Loss Clinical Lead Dr Anju Verma individually SCOPE certified; no company-wide accreditation identified on the public directory |
| LegitScript certification | ✅ Yes | Not identified on the public LegitScript directory |
| Prescribing threshold | ✅ Within MHRA-licensed BMI thresholds | Prescribes within licensed thresholds, per its own site |
A note on what these markers mean. GPhC registration confirms the premises is a registered pharmacy subject to inspection. CQC registration is the regulator for the prescribing service itself, separate from the pharmacy’s dispensing registration. Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are MHRA-licensed regardless of which regulated UK pharmacy dispenses them — the licence sits with the medicine, not the retailer. What differs is the prescribing governance around it: how thoroughly your assessment is reviewed, who reviews it, and what ongoing monitoring is built in once you are being treated. See NICE guidance on tirzepatide and the licensed indications in the electronic medicines compendium.
Delivery
Most approved Slinic orders complete within 24 to 48 hours from assessment through to dispatch, sent by tracked 24-hour delivery at £4.99 per order, in discreet temperature-controlled packaging. Face-to-face consultation and in-person collection are available for patients local to Brierfield.
Boots advertises free delivery and click-and-collect in as little as 24 hours, dispensed by a GPhC-registered Boots pharmacy. Its national store network is a genuine convenience advantage for patients outside Lancashire, and worth weighing against the price difference. On Mounjaro, that difference is £41 to £79 a pen — enough that Slinic remains cheaper even after the £4.99.

Yes, Wegovy Oral at £99, £119, £149 and £229 across the four strengths. Slinic charges £92, £104, £119 and £164— cheaper at every strength, by £7 to £70 a month. Slinic also dispenses Foundayo from £83 a month, which we could not identify on Boots’ published pages.
Does either provider require a subscription?
Neither. Both charge per prescription with no minimum term. At Slinic there is no subscription, no contract and no commitment to order the following month, and you will not be required to purchase bundles or increase your dose simply to access our prices.
How do I switch from Boots to Slinic?
There is nothing to cancel — you simply do not reorder. Complete Slinic’s free assessment with your current dose and treatment history, and your prescriber will confirm whether continuing at that dose is appropriate. It is assessed individually, not carried over automatically.
Does Slinic include monthly clinical reviews?
Yes, in the medication price, for every patient regardless of order frequency. Boots describes clinical team support and free webinars but does not publish a defined monthly review structure.
Does Boots have any advantage over Slinic?
Two, and they are real. Boots offers in-store collection and consultations at selected stores nationally, which Slinic cannot match outside Lancashire, and Boots advertises free delivery against Slinic’s £4.99 per order.
Can I get Mounjaro on the NHS instead?
Possibly, depending on eligibility and where you live — the rollout is phased and prioritised by BMI and weight-related conditions. Our Mounjaro NHS 2026 guide explains the criteria and the pathway.
The Verdict
Let us be clear about what is not in dispute: both providers are legitimate, regulated UK services dispensing the identical, genuine, MHRA-authorised medicine from the same manufacturers. The pen is the same. What differs is what you pay for it and who is watching your treatment afterwards.
On Mounjaro, Slinic is lower at every published dose without exception, by £40.97 to £78.97 a pen — £492 to £948 across a year, and still lower once the £4.99 delivery charge is added. On Wegovy, Slinic is lower at every dose listed here, from £6 at the starting dose to £62 at 1mg. On Wegovy Oral, Slinic is cheaper at all four strengths and £70 a month cheaper at the 25mg maintenance dose. Slinic also includes a monthly clinical review with a prescriber in the price, runs a video consultation before prescribing rather than a questionnaire alone, dispenses Foundayo from £83 a month, and operates through an NHS-contracted community pharmacy with SCOPE obesity management and LegitScript certification.
Boots’ strengths are genuine: a national store network for in-store collection and consultation, free delivery, and a CQC-registered prescribing arm. If getting your medicine over a counter near home matters more than the cost difference, Boots suits you better. If you want the lowest price and a named superintendent pharmacist reviewing your treatment every month, Slinic is the stronger choice.
Stop paying the high-street premium.
Fixed 2026 prices from £83. Monthly clinical reviews included, not sold as an add-on. Dispensed by an NHS-contracted UK pharmacy, overseen by a superintendent pharmacist with 25 years behind the counter.
