THE SHORT VERSION
- Start here if the names, choices and costs are beginning to feel like a lot.
Does SlimBee sell or prescribe medicines?
No. SlimBee is an information website. A regulated prescribing service must assess whether a prescription-only medicine is appropriate.
Are Mounjaro and Wegovy the same?
No. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide and Wegovy contains semaglutide. Their instructions and products differ. A prescriber can explain which options, if any, fit your health history. Read our comparison guide.
Why are there different prices for the same medicine?
Prices can vary by dose, provider, pack, first-order offer and included services. Check returning-customer costs as well as the first bill. Our tables show dated, dose-specific listed prices.
Does being eligible privately mean the NHS will fund it?
No. A medicine’s licence and NHS commissioning criteria are different. Local pathways and capacity matter. Our NHS guide explains what to ask.
Can I switch or stop by following an online guide?
A guide can help you prepare questions. Your prescriber should help you decide whether and how to make a treatment change, particularly after a gap or if other medicines are involved.
What should I do about a worrying symptom?
Contact your prescribing team or an appropriate urgent-care service. Severe symptoms should not wait for an online answer. Our side-effect guide starts with warning signs and routes to help.
