Why Choose Private Prescription Over NHS Route?
Private vs NHS: Speed and Convenience
NHS weight management services can have waiting lists of 6-12 months, leaving you waiting for assessment and treatment. Our private prescription service offers clinical assessment within 3 working days, or 24 hours with express upgrade. You'll receive professional guidance on whether Mounjaro or Ozempic may be more suitable based on your individual health profile and potential side effect considerations.
Understanding Side Effect Profiles
Both Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Ozempic (semaglutide) are prescription-only medications that may cause gastrointestinal side effects including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. However, clinical studies suggest Mounjaro may have a slightly different side effect profile due to its dual-action mechanism targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Our prescribers can discuss these differences during your private consultation and help determine which medication may be more appropriate for your circumstances.
Private Prescription Pricing and Packages
Mounjaro single pens start from £129.99 (first order price with FIRST40 code), with 2.5mg starter dose at £169.99 regular price. Our Getting Started bundles include the Intro Duo (2.5mg + 5mg) for £299.99 first order, providing your initial titration doses in one convenient package. Returning customers save £25 on every order, making private treatment more affordable long-term than many assume.
Streamlined Assessment Process
Complete your online clinical questionnaire covering medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. Our UK-qualified prescribers review your application and may request additional information if needed. Once approved, your medication ships from our GPhC-registered pharmacy with tracked delivery. This private route eliminates GP appointments, referral delays, and lengthy NHS processes.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Private prescription doesn't mean going without support. Our clinical team provides ongoing monitoring and can adjust your prescription as needed. If you experience side effects with one medication, we can facilitate switching to the alternative option more quickly than NHS systems typically allow. This flexibility is particularly valuable when comparing medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic where individual responses can vary significantly.
Express Service for Urgent Cases
Need faster assessment? Our express service provides clinical review within 24 hours for an additional fee. This is ideal if you're traveling, have limited availability for standard timescales, or want to start treatment as soon as possible. Express processing maintains the same thorough clinical standards while prioritizing your application.
