Does Wegovy cost less in India than the UK?

What does Wegovy cost in India vs the UK (in pounds)?

When Wegovy launched in India in June 2025, the monthly price worked out at roughly £152–£228 depending on the dose. Then, in November 2025, Novo Nordisk, who manufacture Wegovy, reduced prices by about a third, bringing the monthly cost down to around £95–£144, again dose dependent. That might sound cheaper than UK prices if you’re thinking about a typical high street pharmacy, but it’s not actually that far off the cheapest UK options when you look at all regulated pharmacies, like we do at Pharmacy Price Hound. In November, the cheapest price we saw for Wegovy 0.25mg was £99 from Simple Online Pharmacy, with the highest dose coming in at around £175 from Cloud Pharmacy, not a million miles away from India’s new lower pricing. And once you factor in discounted deals, the UK can even fall below those benchmark Indian prices.

Why did India reduce its Wegovy price?

Novo Nordisk cut Wegovy prices in India, as the market is getting crowded and competitive. Mounjaro weight loss injections arrived earlier and in many places it is the first option people ask for, so Novo had to respond or risk losing ground. Affordability matters too, India is a huge opportunity but very price sensitive, if the price is too high uptake slows, so lower pricing opens the door to far more patients and lets Novo win through a volume play. Another big factor is timing, semaglutide patents in India are expected to loosen in 2026, and cheaper generics will follow, so cutting prices now helps Novo lock in prescribers and patients before rivals undercut them later. In summary, the price drop protects market share today and prepares for tougher competition tomorrow.

How much does Wegovy cost compared to Mounjaro in India?

In India, when Wegovy launched in June 2025, it cost about £152 a month for the 0.25mg starter dose, rising to roughly £228 a month for the 2.4mg top dose. Mounjaro had already arrived a few months earlier with lower headline prices, roughly £120 a month at the 2.5mg starting dose, increasing to around £240 a month at the highest 15mg dose. That price gap helped Mounjaro build momentum quickly. Wegovy’s November 2025 price drop changed things, meaning it went from being more expensive than Mounjaro to undercutting it, especially at the lower doses. That shift is basically the same pricing cycle the UK saw over the summer and that Pharmacy Price Hound tracked. Wegovy launched higher, Mounjaro became significantly more popular, then Wegovy reduced costs to stop the gap becoming permanent. With Mounjaro’s UK prices going up in August, Novo will be hoping that pushes people back toward Wegovy, but it’s still too early to call and right now Mounjaro is still the one getting most of the search interest.

Can I buy Wegovy in India and ship it over?

Not really. Wegovy is prescription only in the UK, and importing it from India can be stopped at the border unless it’s arranged through a UK prescriber and licensed importer. Even if a package gets through, you’re taking risks around cold chain handling, authenticity, and no medical supervision. We recommend using a safer route and buying through a regulated UK pharmacy. Also, like we said earlier, if you use our live tracker, you can get Wegovy for roughly the same monthly costs as in India anyway, without the import hassle or risk.

Where is Wegovy cheapest worldwide?

India is now the cheapest place globally to buy branded Wegovy, following the November price reduction. Most other private markets are higher, roughly £175–£290 in Canada, £230–£285 in France, £205–£240 in Australia, and about £400–£1,000+ in the US depending on coverage and deals. The key detail for UK patients is that the lowest regulated UK Wegovy prices are no longer a world away from that lower band when you compare properly across pharmacies. That closeness is exactly what Pharmacy Price Hound is designed to deliver. By making every dose and every pharmacy price transparent, we want to keep the whole UK market competing downward, saving you money.
