Frequently asked questions
How much do weight loss injections cost in South Africa?
Most sit between roughly R2 000 and R5 000+ per month at maintenance doses, though lower starting doses and Mounjaro's smaller pens can cost less. Prices vary by pharmacy.
Are these prices the same at every pharmacy?
No. Clicks, Dis-Chem and independent pharmacies each set their own prices and stock, so it pays to compare.
