A plain-English UK guide
This guide explains what Wegovy is, how UK prescribing pathways usually work, what to check when comparing providers, and how to think about listed fees, eligibility, and support more carefully.

Quick answer
What it is
Wegovy is a prescription-only medicine used in weight management for some adults, subject to clinical suitability and prescribing review.
How it is usually accessed in the UK
Many people use regulated UK online pharmacies or clinics. You complete an assessment, a prescriber reviews your information, and any supply decision is made after that review.
Why visible fees vary
Providers may differ on what they include, such as review, delivery, or ongoing support. The first visible figure is not always the best comparison point.
Why your situation matters
Providers can apply different rules for new patients, those continuing from elsewhere, those restarting, or those looking for extra support.
What “confirmed” means here
When a provider is marked as confirmed for a category, that means we found public evidence for it. “Not confirmed” means we have not verified it yet, not that it is definitely unavailable.
How Wegovy access usually works in the UK
Most providers follow a similar overall process, although assessment detail, timelines, and support structure can vary.
Complete an assessment
You provide information about weight, medical history, medicines, and relevant health background.
Clinical review
A prescriber reviews suitability and may ask for extra details depending on the provider’s process.
Decision on supply
If approved, supply is arranged according to the provider’s service model and current terms.
Fulfilment and delivery
Delivery handling, packaging, and timelines vary, so it is worth checking this directly.
Ongoing review or support
Some providers offer structured follow-up, while others keep support more limited.
Is Wegovy available on the NHS?
Access to weight management medicines on the NHS depends on eligibility criteria, local pathways, and service availability. Private prescribing is a separate route through regulated providers.
This page focuses on explaining the private comparison pathway while signposting NHS guidance where useful.
Pick your path
Choose the route that best matches your current situation so you can compare more usefully.
I am new to Wegovy
Use this if you have not previously been prescribed through another provider and want to understand the usual starting route.
I am continuing from elsewhere
Use this if you are already established with another provider and want to review options for continuing treatment elsewhere.
I am restarting after a break
Use this if you were previously prescribed but have had a pause and want to understand which providers may consider restart requests.
I want extra support
Use this if you are looking for provider support beyond supply alone, such as coaching, check-ins, or additional guidance.
Compare verified UK providers by category
We use “confirmed” only where we have found public evidence for that category. Rules can change, so final confirmation should always be made directly.
Continuing-patient providers Open
These are providers where we have found public evidence relevant to patients continuing from another provider.
💡 How to use this maintenance comparison
Use this table to compare providers that may accept continuing Wegovy patients. A new provider may still carry out its own assessment, review your current or recent dose, and check treatment history before deciding whether continuation is appropriate. Use the table as a shortlist tool, then confirm final provider criteria, delivery terms, and any extra charges on the provider website.
Compare carefully: listed fees, treatment gaps, delivery terms, and provider criteria can all differ.

How to compare listed fees fairly
The lowest visible figure is not always the lowest all-in amount or the best fit for your situation.
What can change the comparison
- What the provider includes in the listed figure
- Assessment or review fees
- Delivery cost and speed
- Ongoing support or bundled services
- New-patient versus continuing-patient terms
- Promotional or subscription structures
What to do before deciding
- Read the provider’s current terms carefully
- Check what is included and what is extra
- Confirm delivery method and timing
- Check refund or decline policy where relevant
- Review whether support matters to you as much as visible fees

How to spot a legitimate UK provider
Prescription-only medicines should sit behind proper prescribing checks. Be cautious of websites that feel too easy, too vague, or too sales-led.
Useful checks
- Look for clear registration or regulation details
- Verify those details on official registers where relevant
- Check that there is a real clinical assessment process
- Read the provider’s prescribing and delivery information
Warning signs
- No visible assessment route
- Unclear identity or contact details
- Overstated claims or heavy pressure to proceed quickly
- Poor clarity on fees, delivery, or support
How we verify provider categories
We publish comparison categories to make the page more useful, but the goal is clarity rather than overclaiming.
What “confirmed” means
A provider is marked as confirmed for a category where we found public evidence such as website wording, policy detail, or other verifiable published information.
What “not confirmed” means
It means we have not yet verified the category publicly. It does not automatically mean the provider will refuse that request.
Why direct confirmation still matters
Providers change terms, structures, and eligibility detail over time. The provider’s current site and assessment process remain the source of truth.
