These are the official UAE pharmacy prices for one month of medication at the time of writing, and they can vary by pharmacy, pack and dose. We checked the Wegovy injection and Ozempic prices against UAE pharmacy listings on 29 October 2026. Our page on weight loss injections in the UAE explains how these medications work and when they may be appropriate.
02 Mounjaro price in the UAE
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) costs AED 1,734 per month in the UAE. The price is the same at every dose, from 2.5 mg to 15 mg, so the cost of the medication does not change when your endocrinologist adjusts your dose. Our page on Mounjaro cost in the UAE covers the medication and treatment costs in more detail.
03 Wegovy injection price by dose
The Wegovy injection (semaglutide) costs AED 743.50 a month at 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg. It costs AED 1,145.50 at 1 mg, AED 1,440 at 1.7 mg and AED 1,712 at 2.4 mg. Our page on the Wegovy price in the UAE sets out the costs of Wegovy treatment.
04 Ozempic price by dose
Ozempic (semaglutide) costs AED 743.50 a month at 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg, and AED 1,146 at 1 mg. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes, and Wegovy is the semaglutide medication approved for weight management. At Endocare, Ozempic is considered for weight management only in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Ozempic is not approved for weight management or for prediabetes, so using it for weight management outside the treatment of type 2 diabetes, including in prediabetes, is off-label. Our page on the Ozempic price in the UAE covers the costs of Ozempic treatment.
05 Why the monthly cost can change with the dose
Mounjaro costs the same at every dose, while the Wegovy injection and Ozempic cost more at higher doses. For the Wegovy injection and Ozempic, your monthly medication cost therefore depends on the dose your endocrinologist prescribes. The prescribing information for each medication sets a standard schedule of dose increases. Dose decisions are made by your endocrinologist together with you at the monthly follow-up, in roughly four-week increments. They are based on your weight loss response, how well you tolerate the medication and your body composition trends.
As an example only, the Wegovy dose might move from 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg and then to 1 mg over the first three 4-week packs. The medication would then cost AED 2,632.50 for those 12 weeks. Your endocrinologist may keep you on a dose for longer if side effects are difficult to tolerate. The price of your medication varies with the dose prescribed. Our team will confirm it at your consultation.
06 What the medication price does not include
A pharmacy price covers the medication alone. It does not include your consultations, blood tests or lifestyle coaching.
At Endocare, you can pay for these individually or as part of our weight loss programme. Our programme pricing page sets out the fees. You pay the official pharmacy price for your medication. Medication delivery is free across the UAE and typically arrives the same day.

Two once-daily tablets are also approved for weight management in the UAE: the Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide) and Foundayo (orforglipron). The table shows their UAE pharmacy prices for a pack of 30 tablets.

Insurance coverage for weight loss treatment in the UAE varies by policy and is often limited, so we recommend checking your individual coverage before starting treatment. Our care coordinators can also help you in this process.
Does Endocare add a markup to the medication price?
No. Endocare does not add a markup, so you pay the official UAE pharmacy price for your medication. Delivery is also free of charge.
Are cheaper weight loss injections from online sellers safe?
They may not be. The MHRA guidance on GLP-1 medications warns against buying them from unregulated sellers such as beauty salons or social media accounts. The FDA states that unapproved GLP-1 medications, including compounded products, are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality. Our article on buying Mounjaro online explains the risks in the UAE.
How much does treatment at Endocare cost in total?
The total depends on your medication, your dose and whether you choose our programme or individual appointments. Our programme pricing page sets out the fees for consultations, blood tests and coaching.
Patients should not decide by themselves to start a GLP-1 medication. A doctor’s review is critical to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for the individual. At our weight loss clinic in Dubai, your endocrinologist will assess whether a weight loss injection is appropriate for you and review your blood tests before prescribing. Our article on who qualifies for weight loss injections explains the criteria.
