# Switching your Mounjaro or Wegovy provider: how it works.

You're not locked in. Switching the pharmacy that supplies your Mounjaro or Wegovy is normal, legal and usually quick.

In short

You're not locked in. Switching the pharmacy that supplies your Mounjaro or Wegovy is normal, legal and usually quick.

Plenty of people start on a new-customer price, watch month two jump, and assume they're stuck. You're not. Any GPhC-registered provider can take over your treatment.

### What the new provider needs

Expect to share your current medication, dose, how long you've been on it, and usually evidence, a photo of your pen box or a previous order confirmation. A prescriber at the new provider reviews it before anything is dispensed. That's not bureaucracy; it's the process working as it should.

### Timing it

Start the switch about a week before your next pen is due, approval and delivery take a few working days. Don't let yourself run to zero; a gap can mean restarting lower.

### Finding somewhere cheaper to switch to

Check the live price for your current dose, [Monj.co.uk](https://monj.co.uk) for Mounjaro, [iGovy.co.uk](https://igovy.co.uk) for Wegovy, then verify the pharmacy on the [GPhC register](https://www.pharmacyregulation.org/registers/pharmacy) before ordering. Every provider in [our directory](https://comparepharmacyscore.com/html/pharmacies.html) is already verified, with its register entry linked.
