Wegovy first-month deals: intro offers ranked and rated

A Wegovy first month deal can knock £30 to £85 off your opening order, which is a real saving when you are trialling semaglutide for the first time. But an intro offer is only worth chasing if the price you pay from month two onward is still sensible — a cheap starter box followed by an expensive maintenance pen is a poor trade. This guide ranks the current UK first-month offers on the 0.25 mg Wegovy starter dose, then rates each one on what happens after the discount ends.

Every figure below comes from our price table, last checked on 4 July 2026. Wegovy is titrated slowly — you spend roughly four weeks each on 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg before stepping up — so the "first month" almost always means one 0.25 mg starter pen. That is the dose the promotions target.

Wegovy first-month deals ranked (0.25 mg starter dose)

The table is sorted by effective first-month price — the list price minus any code or automatic discount. We have added each provider's standard 0.5 mg price, because that is the dose most people move to by around week eight, so it tells you what the offer costs you once the welcome discount lapses.

How we rate the offers

A headline discount is easy to advertise. What matters is the shape of the whole cost curve, so we rate each deal on three things.

1. The real first-month price

Not the "was" price — the price after the code applies. On that measure, MedExpress and ZAVA lead at £59.99, followed by Oxford Online Pharmacy at £68.96 and Voy at £69. Voy has the biggest headline drop (from £144 to £69), which looks dramatic but mostly reflects a high list price, not an unusually generous deal.

2. What the discount costs you afterwards

This is where the ranking shifts. ZAVA and MedExpress hold a £119.99 rate at 0.5 mg, so their cheap first month is backed by a reasonable ongoing price. Voy's £69 opener is followed by £169 at 0.5 mg — one of the higher maintenance rates in the table — so the saving evaporates by month three. Boots takes the opposite approach: no code at all, but a low £79.97 list price and the lowest 0.5 mg rate here at £114.97, which can work out cheaper over a full course.

3. What you get for the money

Price is not the whole story on a medicine you inject weekly. Free next-day cold-chain delivery, needles included, a genuine clinical review and a refund if you are declined all have value. A £10 saving is quickly wiped out by a £15 delivery charge or a separate consultation fee, so read the small print, not just the sticker price.

Should you just pick the cheapest first month?

Only if the ongoing price is also competitive. Wegovy is a course, not a one-off purchase: NICE (TA1026) frames it as a treatment used for up to two years, and in the STEP 1 trial participants lost around 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. You will be on it well past the promotional first box, so the question that decides your total cost is what 0.5 mg and beyond cost here.

A quick worked example. A £59.99 first month plus five months at £119.99 comes to about £660 over six months. An £80 first month (The Weight Clinic with NEWME) plus five months at £125 comes to about £705 — roughly £45 more, in exchange for monthly clinical reviews and a refund if declined. That is a far smaller gap than the headline prices suggest. Our Wegovy prices by dose guide breaks down every step of the ladder.

Avoiding the common first-month traps

• The code has expired. Welcome codes rotate frequently. If NEW26, WLNP20 or START30 no longer work at checkout, the list price applies — check before you commit.
• The offer needs a minimum spend. Several codes (Oxford, Lloyds) only trigger over £99, so a very low base price can miss the discount entirely.
• Auto-renewing subscriptions. Some providers enrol you into a rolling plan at the full price after the intro month. Diarise the renewal date.
• Delivery and consultation fees. A £3.95 express delivery or a paid consult can erase a small saving. Free next-day delivery and no separate prescription fee are worth more than they look.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest Wegovy first-month deal right now?

On the 0.25 mg starter dose, MedExpress and ZAVA are joint-lowest at £59.99, both via a new-customer offer (ZAVA uses code WZUK40 for £40 off). Prices were last checked on 4 July 2026 and change often — confirm on the provider's site before ordering.

Does the first-month discount apply to every dose?

No. Intro offers are almost always tied to the 0.25 mg starter pen — the dose you begin on. Once you titrate up to 0.5 mg and beyond, the standard price applies, which is why the ongoing rate matters more than the opening one.

Is a cheaper first month always the better deal?

Not necessarily. Because Wegovy is a months-long course, the 0.5 mg maintenance price usually decides your total cost. A low intro price paired with a high ongoing rate (for example £69 then £169) can end up more expensive than a middling opener with a lower ongoing rate.

Why is The Weight Clinic your pick if it is not the cheapest first month?

At £80 with code NEWME it is not the lowest opener, but it pairs the deal with monthly video reviews, needles and next-day delivery included, and a full refund if you are declined — so there is no financial risk in trying it. Over six months the gap to the cheapest option is roughly £45.

Do I still need a prescription to use these offers?

Yes. Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription-only medicine. Every provider requires an online consultation, and a prescriber decides whether it is suitable for you. An intro price is not a guarantee of approval — report any side effects through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme at yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk.
