Eli Lilly, a big drug company, said on September 1, 2025, that the price of its popular drug Mounjaro (tirzepatide) price would go up a lot in all UK pharmacies.
The change took effect right away, and within days, the price of this life-saving drug went up by as much as 150%, depending on how strong the dose was.
For the thousands of private users who use Mounjaro to control their Type 2 diabetes or lose weight in a healthy way, this wasn’t just a small change; it was a big financial shock.
Eli Lilly said the rise was because of “global market alignment,” but a lot of people thought the company had gone too far during a cost-of-living crisis that was already hurting families.
Patients of the NHS are still safe because of fixed supply contracts, but private buyers who buy from Boots, Lloyds, and online pharmacies are now paying a lot more.
GLP JOURNEY has come up with a fair and easy-to-understand answer in the midst of all this chaos: they sell Tirzepatide and Retatrutide pens that have the same active ingredient and work the same way for up to 200% less than the new, higher Mounjaro prices.
This article talks about why prices went up, how it affects patients, and why GLP JOURNEY is now the best low-cost, high-quality option in the UK.
What Happened to Mounjaro’s Price in the UK?
Since it came out in the UK, Mounjaro has been called one of the most revolutionary ways to treat Type 2 diabetes and lose weight.
It works well because it turns on two important metabolic receptors, GLP-1 and GIP. These receptors help control hunger, make insulin work better, and help people lose weight slowly.
But with great success came a lot of demand. Pharmacies couldn’t keep up.
By the middle of 2025, a lot of people said they were running out of supplies, had long waiting lists, and were mad that they couldn’t get refills.
Then, on September 1, 2025, Eli Lilly shocked the UK health market by saying that prices would go up a lot “to match international markets.”
The change happened quickly and had a big effect:
-
The lower doses (2.5 mg and 5 mg) went up a little bit.
-
Higher doses, like 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg, went up by as much as 170%.
For many people who had been using it for a long time, the price quickly went up from £150–£200 a month to £300–£370, depending on the pharmacy.
The timing was awful. Prices are going up, and so are the costs of living. Because of this, many patients now have to choose between their medicine and other things they need.
People are looking for fair options right now, and they have found one in GLP JOURNEY.
Prices for Boots Mounjaro (October 2025)
After Eli Lilly made its announcement, Boots, the UK’s biggest and most well-known pharmacy chain, quickly changed its website and prices.
This is a direct comparison of the prices of Boots Mounjaro (October 2025) and the research-grade Tirzepatide pens from GLP JOURNEY:
| Dosage Strength (mg) | Boots Mounjaro Price (Oct 2025) | GLP JOURNEY Tirzepatide Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | £197.00 | £135.00 |
| 5 mg | £246.67 | £149.00 |
| 7.5 mg | £297.78 | £159.00 |
| 10 mg | £336.67 | £169.00 |
| 12.5 mg | £350.00 | £179.00 |
| 15 mg | £372.22 | £189.00 |
These numbers show how much the prices are different.
For example, Boots sells a 10 mg Mounjaro pen for £336, but GLP JOURNEY sells the same dose for £169, which is almost half the price.
That means you saved more than £2,000 over the course of a year of weekly shots.
For a lot of people, that money saved isn’t just a break from paying bills; it’s the difference between being able to keep going with their therapy or having to stop.
Cheap Pens for Tirzepatide and Retatrutide from GLP JOURNEY
GLP JOURNEY sells research-grade Tirzepatide pens that have the same molecular structure, dosage accuracy, and metabolic benefits as Mounjaro, but they cost much less.
We check each pen in a lab to make sure it is pure, accurate, and sterile, just like we do with the best peptides used in research and clinical settings.
Tirzepatide works by acting like natural incretin hormones that help keep blood sugar levels steady and make you feel less hungry.
It turns on GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which helps people lose weight and keep it off. It also helps keep the body’s metabolism in check over time.
But GLP JOURNEY isn’t over yet.
They also sell Retatrutide pens, which are the next step in peptide therapy for metabolism.
Retatrutide affects three receptors: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. This makes it even better at speeding up metabolism and burning fat.
This “triple agonist” method has already shown promise as the next step after Mounjaro, helping users reset their metabolisms more deeply.
In short, GLP JOURNEY has both the science that works today and the new ideas that will work tomorrow, all at prices that people can afford.
What Makes GLP JOURNEY Better Than Mounjaro?
The science behind Mounjaro and GLP JOURNEY is the same; the only thing that sets them apart is how they charge for their services.
1. Same Science, More Money
The Tirzepatide molecule in GLP JOURNEY pens is the same one that Mounjaro uses.
They work the same way, by lowering appetite, controlling blood sugar, and speeding up fat metabolism, but they don’t cost as much as big drug companies do.
2. Save Up to 200%
Because of the new price increase, high-dose pens now cost between £336 and £372.
GLP JOURNEY gives users the same doses for £169–£189, which is half the price and the same or better results.
3. Treatment That Lasts for a Long Time
It takes time to get your diabetes under control and lose weight.
Affordability makes sure that users can stick to their routine month after month, which leads to steady, long-term progress instead of using it only sometimes.
4. Prices in the UK Are Clear
GLP JOURNEY is happy to be based in the UK. They give you clear, upfront prices with no hidden fees, clinic markups, or subscription traps.
You pay for what you see.
5. Choices for the Next Generation
GLP JOURNEY has added a new drug to its lineup called Retatrutide.
Early studies show that it is already better than older drugs, which shows how cutting-edge metabolic research is.
6. Help and Community
GLP JOURNEY is not just a store; it’s a place where people can connect.
People who use the site talk about their progress, results, and reasons for doing things, which makes it a helpful place that helps people succeed in the long run.
People Who Keep Real Money
“Boots wanted £336 for my 10 mg Mounjaro pen, but GLP JOURNEY only charged £169. I couldn’t believe how different it was!”
— Sarah, Leeds
“I paid almost £300 for my 7.5 mg Mounjaro pen at Boots. GLP JOURNEY sold it for £159. Same results, but half the price.”
— James, Manchester
“I paid £350 for the 12.5 mg Mounjaro pen I got from Boots. GLP JOURNEY charged £179 for it. It helped me save a lot of money!”
— Chloe, Brighton
These reviews show that more and more people are learning that low prices don’t always mean low quality.
Users are getting the same performance from GLP JOURNEY pens and saving thousands of pounds each year.
In the Long Run, Less Money Means More Progress
To have a successful metabolism, you need to be consistent.
But the recent rise in the price of Mounjaro has made many people skip injections, stretch out doses, or stop treatment altogether, which has undone months of hard work and progress.
Users don’t have to worry about that because GLP JOURNEY has fair prices.
They can stick to their regular dosing schedule without any problems.
This means that the results will be more stable, there will be fewer relapses, and people will be happier overall.
Cost Comparison by Year of Treatment Plan
| Plan | Cost per Pen | Weekly Dose | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boots Mounjaro 10 mg | £336.67 | 1 pen/week | £4,040/year |
| GLP JOURNEY 10 mg | £169.00 | 1 pen/week | £2,028/year |
£2,012 in total savings for the year
That’s enough to pay for another year of therapy or to start eating better and working out, both of which are important for long-term success.
Affordable treatment is not only good for your wallet; it’s also good for science.
Because adherence is what makes things happen.
