Wegovy Injections - (Price per Strength/Dose)

Wegovy at Reliance Pharmacy: weekly semaglutide with pharmacist support

How Wegovy works

Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 medicine that reduces appetite and makes you feel full on less. Alongside diet and activity changes, people in trials lost around 15 per cent of their body weight over 68 weeks.

Who it suits

Adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight related condition. It is not used in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and a history of pancreatitis or certain thyroid conditions rules it out. The pharmacist takes a full history before supplying.

The dose schedule

Wegovy starts at 0.25 mg weekly and increases every four weeks through 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 1.7 mg to a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg. Moving up gradually keeps side effects manageable. Nausea, constipation and tiredness are the most common and usually ease within a few weeks.

Each pen strength is priced per four week supply and includes your consultation and review. Prices are listed below. If you are switching from another provider, bring evidence of your current dose.

Pharmacy First - Sore throat

Sore throat? Get it checked today, no GP appointment neededMost sore throats are caused by viruses and clear up on their own within a week. A few are bacterial and need antibiotics. Under the NHS Pharmacy First service, our pharmacist can tell which is which using a scoring system called FeverPAIN, so you get the right treatment without waiting for a GP.Who can come inAnyone aged 5 and over. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, are drooling, have a muffled voice or a very stiff neck, or feel severely unwell, you need urgent care rather than a pharmacy, and we'll direct you straight away.What happensIn our private consultation room, the pharmacist looks at your throat, checks your temperature and glands, and asks a few quick questions, such as how long you've had it and whether you have a cough. That gives a score. A low score means self care: pain relief, fluids and rest. A high score means antibiotics can be supplied there and then under NHS rules.What it costsThe consultation is free. If you need antibiotics, the usual prescription charge applies unless you're exempt.Feel better soonerParacetamol or ibuprofen, warm drinks and medicated lozenges all help.

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception: quick, private and judgement freeAccidents happen. Emergency contraception works best the sooner it's taken after unprotected sex or a contraceptive failure. Levonorgestrel can be taken up to 72 hours afterwards and ulipristal up to 120 hours, but both are more effective in the first 24 hours. You don't need an appointment: just ask at the counter for a private word with the pharmacist.What happensThe pharmacist asks a few questions in our consultation room: when it happened, where you are in your cycle, what medicines you take and whether you're breastfeeding. That decides which tablet suits you, and you can take it there and then. It takes about ten minutes, and nothing is discussed at the counter.CostEmergency contraception is free on the NHS for many people through pharmacy schemes, and where it isn't, it's available privately. Tell us your situation and we'll explain what applies.AfterwardsYour next period may be early or late. Take a pregnancy test if it's more than a week late. If you're not using regular contraception, our pharmacists can start you on the pill under the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service at the same visit.Come in todayUse the Book Appointment button on this page, or call your local Reliance Pharmacy branch.
