Doses & pricing
Starting low and building up with care
Mounjaro treatment usually begins on a low dose so your body has time to adjust, with any increase only considered once your prescriber has reviewed how you are getting on. This gradual approach helps keep side effects manageable while your treatment plan is tailored to you.
- 2.5mg£149.99
A gentle start
This dose lets your body adjust to Mounjaro with the lowest chance of side effects. Most people begin here before any increase is considered.
- 5mg£179.99
The first step up
If your prescriber agrees an increase is appropriate, this is usually the next dose. Many people find this level works well for them long term.
- 7.5mg£235.99
Building on progress
This dose may be considered if you are tolerating treatment well and your prescriber feels a further increase would help. It is not a step everyone needs to take.
- 10mg£254.99
A steady middle ground
Many people stay on this dose once it is reached, as it often gives a good balance of effect and tolerability. Your prescriber will only recommend moving higher if needed.
- 12.5mg£269.99
A further increase
This dose is considered only after a face-to-face review confirms it is appropriate for you. Not everyone needs to progress this far.
- 15mg£284.99
The highest available dose
This is the top dose of Mounjaro and is only reached if your prescriber agrees it is right for you. Plenty of people see good results on a lower dose and never need to reach this level.
How it works
How Mounjaro works in the body
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a medicine that copies the action of two natural gut hormones, GIP and GLP-1, which help control appetite and blood sugar. By acting on these pathways it can help you feel fuller sooner, eat less without a constant battle of willpower, and manage blood sugar more evenly. It's prescribed alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased activity, and only after a Kenmakos Medical prescriber has confirmed it's suitable for you.
Reduces appetite
Helps you feel satisfied on smaller portions by acting on appetite signals in the brain.
Slows digestion
Food leaves the stomach more slowly, which helps fullness last longer after meals.
Lowers food cravings
Many people notice fewer intrusive thoughts about food and less desire for high calorie snacks.
Supports steadier blood sugar
Helps the body respond better to insulin, keeping blood sugar levels more stable.
Mounjaro may be right for you if
- Your BMI falls within the range considered suitable for prescription weight management treatment
- You have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise but found the results difficult to sustain
- You have no personal or family history of certain thyroid cancers
- You're able to attend regular reviews with our Bletchley pharmacist to monitor your progress and dose
Not suitable if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
- You have a history of severe gastrointestinal disease, such as gastroparesis
- You have had pancreatitis or significant gallbladder problems
This list is not exhaustive, and our pharmacist will review your full medical history during your consultation to confirm whether Mounjaro is suitable for you.
Side effects
Possible side effects, explained honestly
Most people taking Mounjaro experience mild to moderate side effects, particularly while the dose is being increased, and these often settle as the body adjusts.
Common
nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, mild stomach discomfort, reduced appetite, tiredness
Eating smaller, plainer meals and staying well hydrated can help ease these symptoms.
Less common
vomiting, heartburn, bloating, taste changes, hair thinning
Please tell us at your review so we can check whether any adjustment is needed.
Seek help promptly
severe or persistent abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction, symptoms of pancreatitis, signs of gallbladder problems, severe vomiting or dehydration
Stop taking Mounjaro and call the pharmacy, or 111 out of hours, straight away if you notice any of these.
What is Mounjaro and who is it for?
Mounjaro is a prescription-only weekly injection used to support weight management alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased activity, available through Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley following a clinical consultation.
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a medicine that acts on natural gut hormones involved in appetite and blood sugar control. This can help you feel fuller sooner, reduce cravings, and support a steadier approach to eating.
It's generally considered for adults who have found it difficult to manage their weight through diet and exercise alone, and who meet the clinical criteria assessed by our prescriber.
Whether Mounjaro is right for you depends on your medical history, current health, and personal goals. Our GPhC-registered team at Kenmakos Medical will only issue a prescription once suitability has been properly checked, so nothing is supplied without a consultation.
We welcome patients from Bletchley and across Milton Keynes who want a face-to-face, clinically led approach to starting this treatment.
Bring a list of your current medicines, supplements and health conditions to your consultation so we can properly check Mounjaro is suitable for you.
Using Mounjaro safely
Mounjaro is generally well tolerated, but like any prescription medicine it needs to be used carefully and under proper clinical guidance from our Bletchley team.
Before you start, we'll walk you through how to store, prepare and administer your injection correctly, and explain what to look out for as your body adjusts.
Some people notice mild digestive effects, particularly in the early weeks or after a dose change. Our pharmacist will explain what's normal and when you should get in touch for advice.
It's important to tell us about any other medicines, supplements, or health conditions, past or present, as these can affect whether Mounjaro is right for you and how your treatment plan is managed.
If you ever feel unwell in a way that concerns you, please contact the pharmacy for advice rather than waiting until your next scheduled review.
Keep your injection pens refrigerated until first use, and always check the expiry date before you administer a dose.
Eating and lifestyle on Mounjaro
Mounjaro works best as part of a wider approach that includes balanced eating and regular movement, rather than as a treatment used on its own.
Because appetite can reduce noticeably on treatment, it's still important to eat regular, nutritious meals so your energy levels and overall health are supported.
Eating slowly and staying well hydrated can help ease any digestive discomfort, especially while your dose is being introduced or increased.
Gentle, consistent activity alongside a sensible eating pattern tends to support steadier, more sustainable progress than relying on the medicine by itself.
Our team can talk through practical, realistic changes that fit around your routine, whether you're based in Bletchley or elsewhere in Milton Keynes.
If your appetite has reduced considerably, try smaller, more frequent meals to help keep your energy steady throughout the day.
Tracking your progress at reviews
Regular reviews with our pharmacist are a core part of treatment, giving us a chance to check how you're getting on and whether any changes are needed.
At each review, we'll talk through how you're feeling, any side effects you've noticed, and how your eating and activity habits are progressing.
We'll also check your weight and general wellbeing, and use this information to decide, together with you, whether your current dose remains appropriate.
These appointments are also your opportunity to raise any concerns, ask questions, or flag anything that's making treatment harder than expected.
Attending your reviews consistently helps us keep your plan safe and effective, and is something we ask all patients at Kenmakos Medical to commit to.
Note down any side effects or changes in appetite between appointments so nothing gets forgotten at your review.
Coming off Mounjaro
Stopping Mounjaro is something to plan with your prescriber rather than deciding on your own, so your progress and wellbeing are properly supported.
There are different reasons people stop treatment, including reaching a personal goal, side effects that aren't settling, or a change in clinical suitability identified at review.
Your prescriber will discuss what to expect once treatment ends, including how appetite and eating patterns may shift, so you can prepare rather than be caught off guard.
Maintaining the eating and activity habits built up during treatment can help support your progress after stopping.
If you're ever considering stopping, speak to our Bletchley team first so we can guide you through it safely.
Book a review before you plan to stop, rather than simply not renewing your prescription, so we can support you through the change.
Deciding between treatments
Weighing up Mounjaro against other options
Mounjaro is one of several weight management treatments we offer at Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, and it will not be the right choice for everyone. Some patients across Milton Keynes find an alternative treatment suits their health history or goals better. Our team can talk you through the options honestly during your consultation, so your decision is based on what fits you rather than what is most popular.
Good to know
FAQs
How quickly will I notice results with Mounjaro?
This varies from person to person, as it depends on your starting point, dose and how your body responds. Many people notice reduced appetite fairly early in treatment, but weight loss itself tends to build gradually over the following weeks and months. Your prescriber will monitor your progress at each review and adjust your plan if needed.
Do I need a prescription for Mounjaro?
Yes. Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine, so it cannot be supplied without a consultation. At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, one of our GPhC-registered prescribers will review your medical history and current health before deciding whether Mounjaro is clinically suitable for you.
Does the price change depending on my dose?
We have not published specific pricing here. Because Mounjaro doses are increased gradually under clinical supervision, the cost can vary as your treatment progresses. Please speak to our Bletchley team directly and they will confirm current pricing for your particular stage of treatment.
What support do I get alongside my prescription?
You will have a one-to-one consultation before treatment starts, followed by regular reviews with our pharmacy team to check how you are getting on. We will talk you through how to store and use your pen safely, discuss any side effects, and answer questions as they come up, whether you are local to Bletchley or elsewhere in Milton Keynes.
Can I switch to Mounjaro from another weight loss treatment?
Possibly, but this needs to be assessed individually. If you are already using another weight management medicine, let our prescriber know at your consultation so they can review your history and confirm whether switching to Mounjaro is appropriate and how best to manage the transition safely.
Is Mounjaro available without visiting the pharmacy in person?
Consultations and clinical assessment are required before any prescription is issued, and collection is arranged through our Bletchley pharmacy. If you are based elsewhere in Milton Keynes, our team can talk you through the process and how visits and collections are organised.
