What we checked, and what we didn’t
- 87 of the 95 providers serving Sunderland carry a registration number we confirmed against the GPhC, CQC or Healthcare Improvement Scotland register directly.
- 62 publish a price we could read and record, each stored with the page it came from. Many providers price only after a consultation.
- 1 are real businesses whose registration we could not independently pin down. We leave them off the short list.
- 5 more are verified and within travelling distance, but sit in a neighbouring local authority rather than Sunderland itself, so they are not counted here.
We list regulated providers only, and we exclude sellers offering unbranded “peptide” vials or medication without a prescriber.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Mounjaro cost in Sunderland?
Across the 59 providers serving Sunderland whose standing Mounjaro prices we verified, the lowest starting price is £75 a month for the 2.5mg dose (at The Slimming Clinic — Sunderland, Waterloo Place), and the median starting price is £159.99. Higher doses cost more, and heavily advertised “first month from £69”-style rates are promotional offers rather than the ongoing price. Prices were checked on 3 August 2026.
Which weight-loss medication is cheapest in Sunderland?
By lowest verified standing monthly price: Wegovy from £59, Saxenda from £59.99, Oral semaglutide from £63, Mysimba from £67.99, Mounjaro from £75, Orlistat / Xenical from £109. Cheapest is not the same as most suitable. Saxenda is a daily injection, Mysimba and orlistat are tablets rather than GLP‑1 injections, and daily dosing changes the real monthly cost. Which one fits you is a clinical decision. Figures checked on 3 August 2026.
Can I buy Mounjaro or Wegovy over the counter in Sunderland?
No. These are prescription-only medicines across the UK. Every legitimate provider, online or in person, must run a clinical consultation and have a prescriber approve you first. Anyone offering these medicines with no prescription, on social media or in a salon without a prescriber, is selling illegally.
How many providers in Sunderland can I visit in person?
33 of the 95 providers serving Sunderland have premises in or around the city that you can walk into. The other 61 are national online services that prescribe and deliver to Sunderland addresses.
How do I check a seller is legitimate?
Look pharmacies up on the General Pharmaceutical Council register (pharmacyregulation.org) and clinics on the CQC register (cqc.org.uk), or Healthcare Improvement Scotland for Scottish clinics. Avoid any seller you cannot find on a regulator register.
Does Pensday earn commission from these providers?
No. There are no affiliate links, paid placements or referral fees anywhere in these guides, and no provider has paid to appear or to rank. Pensday makes money from its app, not from sending you to a pharmacy.
