The price of Mounjaro injection pens will increase from between £92 and £122 to between £133 and £330, with this adjustment affecting private providers. The UK had previously experienced lower prices than the European average, and new clinical evidence supports Mounjaro's value. This price hike raises concerns of broader medicine cost increases in Britain due to recent UK-US trade agreements regarding drug pricing.
