If you're searching for the Wegovy 1.7mg price in the UK, you're most likely four months into treatment and about to step up to your penultimate dose. The 1.7 mg pen sits between the cheaper starter doses and the full 2.4 mg maintenance dose — and its price tends to jump noticeably from the 1 mg you were paying before. This guide sets out what different regulated pharmacies charge for the 1.7 mg dose, why it costs more, and how to avoid overpaying for a stage you'll usually only spend about four weeks on.
All figures were last checked on 24 August 2026 and cover UK-licensed Wegovy dispensed by GPhC-registered pharmacies or CQC-regulated clinics. Prices change without notice, so always confirm on the provider's own site before ordering.
Key takeaway: The Wegovy 1.7 mg dose ranges from about £117 (Medicine Marketplace) to £225 (Trim) per four weeks — a spread of over £100 for the identical pen. Because 1.7 mg is usually a short step-up phase, focus on the provider whose whole dose ladder is competitive, not just this single month.
Where the 1.7mg dose fits in the plan
Wegovy is titrated slowly to reduce nausea. The usual schedule is 0.25 mg weekly for four weeks, then 0.5, 1 and 1.7 mg for roughly four weeks each, before reaching the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg from around week 17. So 1.7 mg is your fourth step — the last one before you settle in for the long haul.
Because most people spend only a month or so at 1.7 mg, its price matters less than the 2.4 mg rate you'll pay for the rest of your treatment. That said, some pharmacies price the step-up doses steeply, and a poorly-timed jump can catch you out. It's worth knowing the numbers before you re-order.
Wegovy 1.7mg price UK: provider comparison
The table below shows the ongoing four-weekly price at 1.7 mg for a selection of providers, alongside their 1 mg and 2.4 mg prices so you can see the full trajectory. First-month intro offers only apply to the 0.25 mg starter dose, so they don't affect what you pay here.
| Provider | 1 mg | 1.7 mg | 2.4 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicine Marketplace | £92 | £117 | £135 |
| Dr Weightmans | £110 | £125 | £150 |
| SwiftDoctor | £99 | £130 | £150 |
| Fylde Clinic | £98 | £133 | £165 |
| Next Script | £79.99 | £137 | £189 |
| Cloud Pharmacy | £124.99 | £149.99 | £174.99 |
| Oxford Online Pharmacy | £138.96 | £168.96 | £188.96 |
| ASDA Online Doctor | £118.97 | £168.97 | £188.97 |
| Boots Online Doctor | £149 | £179 | £199 |
| The Weight Clinic | £135 | £175 | £230 |
| Trim | £185 | £225 | £255 |
A few patterns stand out. Some low-cost starters (like Next Script at £79.99 for 1 mg) climb sharply once you reach the higher doses. Others — Medicine Marketplace, Dr Weightmans, Fylde Clinic — keep the step-up doses relatively contained. If you want to see every dose side by side, our full dose-by-dose comparison lays out all five.
Why the 1.7mg price jumps from 1mg
The 1.7 mg pen delivers more semaglutide per weekly dose than the 1 mg pen, and pharmacies pay more for it wholesale. Nearly every provider prices the doses in ascending tiers, so a step up in dose almost always means a step up in cost. The size of that jump varies a lot: at Cloud Pharmacy it's £25 (from £124.99 to £149.99), while at Next Script it's £57 (from £79.99 to £137).
This is why the cheapest 1 mg provider isn't automatically the cheapest at 1.7 mg. Our 1 mg price guide and 0.5 mg guide show how much the rankings reshuffle as you move up the ladder.
Look at the whole journey, not one month
Because 1.7 mg is a transient stage, the smarter approach is to pick a provider whose pricing is sensible across the whole plan — especially at 2.4 mg, where you'll spend most of your time. A pharmacy that's cheap at 1.7 mg but expensive at maintenance could cost you more over a year. Our guide to the real cost of the 2.4 mg maintenance dose works through that maths.
For a provider that offers monthly video reviews and a clear dose ladder, The Weight Clinic — our recommended provider — lists the 1.7 mg dose at £175 per four weeks, with £35 off your first order using code NEWME and a refund if the prescriber decides Wegovy isn't suitable for you. Those regular reviews matter more at the higher doses, where side effects and progress are worth checking in on.
Don't rush the step-up to save money
It can be tempting to hold on a cheaper dose or skip a step to trim costs. Don't. The gradual titration exists to reduce nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal effects, which affect a large share of users (nausea affects around 40%). A prescriber decides when you're ready to move up. If you experience side effects at any dose, report them through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.
Rarely, more serious problems such as pancreatitis, gallstones or a rare eye condition (NAION) can occur — another reason the video reviews built into a good service are worth having as you climb the doses.
First-month deals don't apply here
Every intro offer we track applies only to the 0.25 mg starter dose, so by the time you reach 1.7 mg you're paying the standard ongoing rate. If you're still choosing a provider and want to factor in the opening discount, see our ranked list of Wegovy first-month deals and our overview of the cheapest Wegovy in the UK.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Wegovy 1.7mg cost in the UK?
The 1.7 mg dose ranges from about £117 per four weeks (Medicine Marketplace) to £225 (Trim), checked 01 September 2026. Most mainstream providers sit between roughly £130 and £180. It's a step-up dose you usually stay on for about four weeks before reaching 2.4 mg.
Why is 1.7mg more expensive than the 1mg dose?
The 1.7 mg pen delivers more semaglutide per weekly dose and costs pharmacies more wholesale, so nearly every provider prices doses in ascending tiers. The size of the jump varies — from about £25 at Cloud Pharmacy to £57 at Next Script.
How long do I stay on the 1.7mg dose?
Usually around four weeks. The standard titration runs 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 1.7 mg for about four weeks each, reaching the 2.4 mg maintenance dose from around week 17. Your prescriber decides when you're ready to step up.
Should I choose a provider based on the 1.7mg price?
No — because you spend most of your treatment at 2.4 mg, it's better to pick a provider that's competitively priced across the whole dose ladder, especially at maintenance. A cheap 1.7 mg price paired with an expensive 2.4 mg rate can cost more over a year.
Do first-month discounts apply to the 1.7mg dose?
No. Every intro offer we track applies only to the 0.25 mg starter dose. By the time you reach 1.7 mg you pay the standard ongoing rate.
Is cheaper 1.7mg Wegovy the same product?
Yes. Every pharmacy we list is GPhC-registered or CQC-regulated and dispenses the identical UK-licensed Wegovy pen. Price differences reflect margin and service, not quality. We never list unregulated sellers or compounded semaglutide, which you should avoid.
