Following a decision taken by Eli Lilly to increase its UK list prices for Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) KwikPen® from 1 September 2025, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has re-determined the NHS reimbursement prices for all strengths of Mounjaro® dispensed from September to reflect the new, higher list prices.
To avoid pharmacy owners dispensing Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) at a loss, Community Pharmacy England reached an agreement with DHSC that reimbursement of NHS prescriptions (branded and generically written) for Mounjaro® dispensed from September will be reimbursed at the increased UK list prices.
Please see the link to the announcement published on NHSBSA’s website.

Background to Mounjaro® list price increases
Following a review, Lilly will increase the UK list price for Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) from 1st September to address pricing inconsistencies compared to other developed countries, including in Europe. In parallel, Lilly has reached an agreement with the NHS to ensure continued supply and patient access. While Lilly does not determine the prices that private healthcare providers set, Lilly is working with them to maintain patient access.
Please note: Community Pharmacy England understands there are growing concerns regarding Mounjaro® pricing and supply arrangements for private services offered by many pharmacies. However, Community Pharmacy England’s remit is restricted to NHS pharmacy services and we are therefore unable to address queries relating to the private supply of Mounjaro®.
