Mounjaro price: what you pay per month in the Netherlands (2026)

You've tried all sorts of things to lose weight, but it doesn't last. Then you soon come across Mounjaro, a medicine with the active substance tirzepatide that doctors prescribe for overweight and type 2 diabetes. The first question is then almost always: what is it going to cost?

How much does Mounjaro cost per month?

At Qlinic, Mounjaro costs €254.99 to €519.99 in the first month, depending on the dose (2.5 to 15 mg per week); after that €354.99 to €619.99 a month, medication and your doctor's support together (prices as of October 2026). The starting dose has the lowest price. When used for weight loss, health insurance does not reimburse Mounjaro, so you pay for the treatment yourself.

Mounjaro is also a prescription medicine. So you always need a doctor who assesses whether the medicine is suitable and safe for you, and who supervises its use.

Below you'll see the price per dose, what a 3-month supply costs, how reimbursement works, how Mounjaro compares with Ozempic on price and what a medically supervised treatment costs. Read more about how fast Mounjaro works.

Mounjaro price per dose (2.5 to 15 mg)

The price of Mounjaro is directly linked to the strength of your weekly injection. You always start low and build up step by step under the supervision of a doctor. This is what you pay at Qlinic per month, medication and support together; the first month is lower because your support that month is the €50 consultation you already paid:

MedicineStrengthFirst monthThen per month
Mounjaroinjection2.5 mg€254.99€354.99
5 mg€320.50€420.50
7.5 mg€412.10€512.10
10 mg€422.10€522.10
12.5 mg€509.90€609.90
15 mg€519.99€619.99
Prices as of October 2026, medication and support together. The first month's price includes the €50 consultation you pay in advance. All medicines are listed under medical weight loss prices.

Please note: the prices apply per month of four weekly doses at the strength the doctor prescribes; if your dose goes up, the price moves with it. You pay the €50 consultation in advance and we offset it against your first month.

The doctor decides which strength you need, based on your response to the medicine and any side effects. By no means everyone needs the highest dose; a medium dose often already gives enough effect. You can read more about the dosing schedule in our article on Mounjaro dosage.

What does a 3-month supply of Mounjaro cost?

Three months of Mounjaro cost €1,095.99 at Qlinic if you start on 2.5 mg and move to 5 mg after four weeks (€254.99 plus twice €420.50). If you stay on the starting dose it is €964.97; on the highest dose of 15 mg €1,759.97. We charge per month, so you never pay three months ahead.

In practice, you rarely stock up for 3 months in one go, by the way. Especially at the beginning, the doctor evaluates every few weeks how you respond to the medication, and only after that is your dose settled. Monthly delivery therefore prevents you from being left with pens in a strength you no longer use.

Important to know: you don't buy Mounjaro as a separate supply from a web shop. It is a prescription medicine that a pharmacy only dispenses on a doctor's prescription. Read more about the Mounjaro diet.

Websites that let you buy Mounjaro without a prescription are acting illegally and regularly sell counterfeits. That means taking a serious health risk. The only safe route is through a doctor who writes a prescription, after which a registered Dutch pharmacy supplies the medication.

Is Mounjaro covered by health insurance?

If you use Mounjaro to lose weight, health insurance does not reimburse the medicine. You then pay for the treatment yourself: at Qlinic €354.99 to €619.99 a month, medication and support together, with a lower first month.

Only for type 2 diabetes is Mounjaro (partly) reimbursed under strict conditions from basic health insurance (basisverzekering). The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved Mounjaro for two uses: type 2 diabetes and weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or from 27 with a weight-related condition. But the fact that the medicine is officially approved for weight management doesn't mean that the insurer will also pay for it in that situation.

You can read exactly how the reimbursement rules work, including the conditions for diabetes, in our article on Mounjaro insurance coverage.

Ozempic or Mounjaro: which is more expensive?

Mounjaro is generally more expensive than Ozempic. At Qlinic you can see that difference in the monthly price, which is listed per medicine and strength on our page with medical weight loss prices.

There is a reason for that price difference. Ozempic contains semaglutide and acts on one hormone system (GLP-1). Mounjaro contains tirzepatide and acts on two hormone systems at once (GLP-1 and GIP). Which medication suits you best medically, however, is not a question of price but a decision you make together with a doctor, based on your health, your goal and how you respond to the medication.

You'll find the full comparison of both medications, including how they work and how they differ, in our article Mounjaro vs Ozempic.

How much weight do you lose with Mounjaro?

In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, participants with obesity lost an average of 15% to 21% of their body weight in 72 weeks, depending on the dose. In the same period, the placebo group lost an average of 3.1%.

That weight loss is an average from a controlled study: results vary from person to person. Mounjaro also only works in combination with an adjusted diet and more exercise. Above all, the medicine takes away the constant feeling of hunger, which finally makes it possible to keep going. Most users notice the first effect after about 4 weeks.

It's also true that Mounjaro has side effects. According to apotheek.nl, the patient information channel of the KNMP (the Royal Dutch Pharmacists Association), nausea, diarrhoea and constipation are the most common, particularly in the period in which you build up the dose. These complaints usually decrease after that.

That's exactly why medical supervision is not a luxury: a doctor tailors the dose to you and intervenes when needed. You'll find a complete overview in our article on Mounjaro side effects.

Costs of a medically supervised treatment

With a medically supervised treatment you don't just pay for medication, but for a treatment under the supervision of a doctor. At Qlinic you pay one amount a month for Mounjaro and your doctor's support: €254.99 to €519.99 in the first month, then €354.99 to €619.99, depending on the strength (2.5 to 15 mg). The consultation costs €50 and we offset it against your first month.

For that you get supervision that you miss out on with a stand-alone prescription:

  • Your own regular BIG-registered doctor who supervises you and does the follow-up every 4 weeks
  • Contact with your own doctor if you have questions or are bothered by side effects
  • Home delivery of your medication through a registered Dutch pharmacy

This is how a stand-alone prescription and a supervised treatment compare:
