ExplorePatient-pathway view of Wegovy / Ozempic / Mounjaro / Saxenda — NHS access, private clinics, side-effect literacy, doctor questions.
ExploreFilterable peptide table by A–E evidence grade, UK regulatory status, sport / WADA risk, and category. Triage tool before reading the full profile.
ExploreA four-item snapshot of recent MHRA / NICE / WADA action affecting peptide and GLP-1 medicines. Most-recent first.
MHRA alert: counterfeit Mounjaro 15 mg pens via unlicensed online supply. Unexpected adverse reactions and inconsistent effects suggest contents are not genuine tirzepatide at the stated concentration.
Read moreMHRA and partners report disruption of illegal manufacturing networks producing unlicensed compounded GLP-1 supply marketed to UK consumers via online clinics that bypass real clinical assessment.
Read moreMHRA began acting against UK online clinics marketing ‘compounded semaglutide’ as a cheap Wegovy alternative. Enforcement basis: unlicensed-medicine supply outside the ‘specials’ framework.
Read moreSustained pressure on Ozempic supply kept the counterfeit market active through 2025. Some seized pens contained insulin rather than semaglutide — a direct hypoglycaemia risk for non-diabetic users.

Fresh research insights and beginner guides
Mounjaro and Ozempic are both GLP-1 based treatments now widely used for weight loss in the UK. This article compares the two drugs head-to-head — trial data, UK costs, and how to discuss your options with a prescriber.
Storing your Mounjaro or Wegovy pen correctly is essential for the medication to work properly. This guide covers fridge requirements, room temperature limits, travel storage, and what to do if your pen has been left out too long.
Pancreatitis is listed as a potential risk of GLP-1 medications including semaglutide. This article examines what the MHRA and EMA data actually shows, who is at higher risk, and what symptoms should prompt you to stop immediately.
