Alternatives, not generics
Prices are for one four-week pen.
Your prescriber decides which treatment suits you.
A generic is a copy of the same medicine. For tirzepatide none is licensed here, so the real choice is between Mounjaro and different licensed treatments.

A quick overview
What to know
before you start.
-
No generic tirzepatide is licensed in the UK, so genuine Mounjaro comes only from a regulated pharmacy.
-
Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) is a licensed injectable alternative and acts on one receptor, GLP-1.
-
Two GLP-1 weight-loss tablets are now licensed, but they are different medicines from Mounjaro.
-
Compounded copies, research peptides and berberine supplements are not equivalents.
-
A GPhC-registered prescriber can advise which licensed option suits you.
In this guide
01 · The short answer
Which alternative suits whom
If you want the same active ingredient, the only option is genuine Mounjaro, supplied under prescription. The sensible comparison is with Wegovy, which is also a licensed weight-management treatment. Both are effective; your health profile and prescriber advice decide which suits you.15
You can see current doses on the Mounjaro pen page, where all six doses are in stock. Your first 2.5mg pen costs £129.99 with code FIRST40 (standard price £169.99). Compare with the Wegovy pen, whose first pen costs £99.99.
| Option | Type | How it works | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mounjaro (tirzepatide) | Weekly injection | Activates GIP and GLP-1 receptors | SURMOUNT-5: 20.2% average loss over 72 weeks; individual results vary15 |
| Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) | Weekly injection | GLP-1 only | SURMOUNT-5: 13.7% average loss over 72 weeks; individual results vary15 |
| Wegovy tablets, Foundayo | Daily tablets | GLP-1 medicines, different from Mounjaro | Own trials; your prescriber can advise |
| Saxenda (liraglutide) | Daily injection | GLP-1 | Figures vary; your prescriber can advise |
| Orlistat | Tablet | Blocks some dietary fat absorption | Smaller average losses18 |
| Berberine "natural GLP-1" | Supplement | Not a medicine for this use | No comparable trial evidence; low-cost supplement, no clinical oversight |
02 · Deciding
Decision factors
In the first large head-to-head trial (SURMOUNT-5), adults on tirzepatide lost on average 20.2% of body weight over 72 weeks versus 13.7% on semaglutide 2.4mg (Wegovy).15 Frequency matters too: Mounjaro and Wegovy are once weekly, while liraglutide is daily. Our free consultation is reviewed by a GPhC-registered prescriber.
03 · Why no generic exists
Why there is no generic Mounjaro
Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, made by Eli Lilly, and licensed in the UK for weight management and type 2 diabetes. It comes in six KwikPen strengths from 2.5mg to 15mg.1 For more, see the generic name explained and tirzepatide generic cost.
04 · Dual action
What makes tirzepatide different
Tirzepatide activates two gut-hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and slows stomach emptying. This distinguishes it from single-action semaglutide.1 That is why other GLP-1 medicines are alternatives, not copies. Browse a good alternative.
05 · Ozempic and tablets
Ozempic, tablets and supplements
Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss, so a regulated UK pharmacy will not supply it for weight loss. There is no Mounjaro tablet. Wegovy tablets were approved by the MHRA in June 2026 and Foundayo in August 2026; both are prescription-only.2021 See all weight loss treatments.
06 · Copies and stacking
Compounded copies and stacking
Mounjaro must not be combined with other GLP-1 medicines, unlicensed research peptides such as retatrutide, or compounded copies. These have no safety data and no regulated supply chain. Anyone offering to supply without a consultation or prescription is a warning sign. Report suspect products via the Yellow Card scheme.7 Our Mounjaro is supplied through official LillyDirect supply.

How ordering works
How ordering works at EverydayMeds
Three steps, with our pharmacy team alongside you.
Step 1: Online consultation — 5–10 minutes
Complete a confidential health questionnaire covering BMI, medical history and current medication. No payment is taken until you're approved.
Step 2: Prescriber review — usually same day
A UK registered prescriber checks your suitability against the licensed criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition) and contraindications, and confirms your starting dose.
Step 3: Next-day tracked delivery
Dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in temperature-controlled packaging with needles and a sharps bin included. Orders approved by 3pm for next-day tracked delivery.
Prescription and dispatch follow clinical approval. Confirm current delivery options when ordering.
Afterwards you're not on your own: dose-change reviews are built in before each step up, our pharmacist team is available for side-effect questions, and repeat orders re-check suitability rather than auto-shipping.
