Sound familiar?

What patients tell us about GLP-1 in Dubai — and what we do differently.

The frustration

"Got a prescription from a pharmacy counter with no follow-up."

At Aafiyah

A named GP manages your dose, monitors your bloods, and adjusts your plan as you progress.

The frustration

"Worried about losing muscle, not just fat."

At Aafiyah

Lifestyle and nutrition support included — so what you lose is fat, not the muscle you'll need long-term.

The frustration

"No idea if this medication is even right for me."

At Aafiyah

Start with a baseline health check. We'll tell you honestly whether GLP-1 treatment suits your profile — before you commit to anything.

The frustration

"Every clinic quotes a different price with different inclusions."

At Aafiyah

One transparent monthly price. Medication, consultations, monitoring and follow-up — all included, nothing hidden.

Eligibility

Is this programme right for you?

GLP-1 medications are effective, well-studied treatments — but they're not right for everyone, and they work best alongside proper medical oversight. Our free call helps establish whether this is a good fit before anything is prescribed.

This programme may be a good fit if you:

  • Have a BMI of 27 or above, or 25+ with weight-related health concerns
  • Have struggled with sustainable weight loss through diet and exercise alone
  • Want medical monitoring alongside treatment, not just a prescription
  • Are looking for a long-term, structured approach rather than a quick fix

We'll need to discuss this carefully first if you:

  • !Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy
  • !Have a personal or family history of certain thyroid conditions (e.g. medullary thyroid carcinoma) or MEN2
  • !Have a history of pancreatitis
  • !Have significant gastrointestinal conditions
  • !Are currently taking other medications that may interact

This is general guidance, not a diagnosis. Final eligibility is always confirmed by a doctor during your consultation, based on your full medical history and baseline bloods.

Consent & care

What happens at your consultation.

Before any prescription is issued, your GP will take a full medical history, review your baseline bloods, and discuss the benefits, possible side effects, and realistic expectations for your chosen medication — including the most common side effects (nausea, digestive changes in the first few weeks), and less common but important risks your doctor will explain fully.

You'll receive written information to take away, and your GP will only proceed once you're confident you understand the treatment and have given informed consent. We believe a properly informed patient is a safer patient — and a more successful one.

Ongoing safety

Your 3-monthly blood panel checks kidney function, liver function, blood sugar control and key nutritional markers throughout your programme — so any adjustments needed are caught early, not after the fact. Learn more about our blood test programme →

Patient voice
"I'd tried everything before. Having a doctor actually check my bloods every few months — not just hand over a pen and wish me luck — made me feel like this was being done properly. Down 11kg in four months and feeling well, not just smaller."

Mounjaro & Wegovy Dubai — FAQs

Questions people ask us.

Is Mounjaro available in Dubai?+

Yes — Mounjaro (tirzepatide, Eli Lilly) is available in the UAE on prescription from a DHA-licensed doctor and dispensed through licensed UAE pharmacies. At Aafiyah, you can be assessed and, if eligible, prescribed Mounjaro after a free 15-minute GP call, baseline bloods and an eligibility consultation.

How much is Mounjaro in Dubai?+

Our Metabolic Health Programme starts from AED 2,450/month for tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and AED 1,950/month for semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) — including monthly GP review, dose titration and baseline + 3-monthly bloods. Medication cost depends on brand and dose; your GP will confirm exact pricing at consultation.

What is the price of Mounjaro 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg and 12.5 mg in Dubai?+

Mounjaro pricing in the UAE varies by dose strength (2.5 mg starter through 15 mg maintenance) and pharmacy. Under our Metabolic Health Programme, monthly medication is arranged via a DHA-licensed UAE pharmacy partner and bundled with GP reviews and bloods — exact pen pricing is confirmed at your consultation based on the dose your GP titrates you to.

Where can I buy Mounjaro in Dubai?+

Mounjaro is prescription-only in the UAE — it cannot be bought over the counter. You need a DHA-licensed doctor to prescribe it, then a licensed UAE pharmacy to dispense it. Aafiyah's Metabolic Health Programme covers both: GP assessment, prescription and pharmacy arrangement, with delivery available across Dubai.

Can I buy Mounjaro in Dubai without a prescription?+

No. Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only medications in the UAE. Anyone offering them without a doctor consultation is operating outside DHA regulation — which means no monitoring, no safety net, and no guarantee the product is genuine.

Is Mounjaro legal in Dubai?+

Yes — Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is legally registered and available in the UAE through DHA-licensed prescribers and licensed pharmacies. It is not legal to import it personally without a valid prescription.

Can I get Wegovy in Dubai?+

Yes. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is registered in the UAE for weight management and is prescribed by our British-trained GPs after eligibility assessment. Like Mounjaro, it is prescription-only and dispensed via licensed UAE pharmacies.

Is Ozempic available in Dubai for weight loss?+

Ozempic (semaglutide) is licensed in the UAE for type 2 diabetes. It is sometimes used off-label for weight management; your GP will discuss whether Ozempic or Wegovy is more appropriate for your case.

Is Zepbound available in Dubai?+

Zepbound is the US brand name for tirzepatide for weight management — the same molecule sold as Mounjaro in the UAE and UK. In Dubai you'll access tirzepatide under the Mounjaro brand, prescribed and monitored by your GP.

Saxenda vs Wegovy vs Mounjaro — which is best in Dubai?+

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a daily injection with around 5–8% average weight loss. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, weekly) typically produces 15–17%. Mounjaro (tirzepatide, weekly) is currently the most effective at 18–22%. Your GP will recommend based on your medical history, tolerance and goals — not a marketing chart.

What's the difference between Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro?+

Ozempic and Wegovy both use semaglutide — Ozempic is licensed for diabetes, Wegovy specifically for weight management. Mounjaro uses tirzepatide, which acts on two appetite hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) instead of one and tends to produce greater average weight loss. Your GP will discuss which suits your profile.

How quickly will I start losing weight on Mounjaro or Wegovy?+

Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins from week 4 once the dose has been titrated upward. Peak weight loss is usually reached between months 6 and 12 — which is why properly managed dose escalation and 3-monthly bloods matter so much.

Will my insurance cover Mounjaro or Wegovy in Dubai?+

UAE health insurance typically does not cover GLP-1 medication prescribed for weight management. This programme is self-pay, with transparent monthly pricing and no hidden fees. We can provide a fully itemised invoice for personal records.

How much weight can I expect to lose on Mounjaro or Wegovy?+

Clinical trials (SURMOUNT-1 for tirzepatide, STEP for semaglutide) show average weight loss of 15–17% of body weight over 68 weeks with semaglutide 2.4 mg, and up to 20–22% with tirzepatide 15 mg — though individual results vary. Your GP will set realistic expectations based on your starting point and lifestyle.

Do I need to come into the clinic every month?+

Initial consultations and blood draws can be done at our Business Bay clinic or at home anywhere in Dubai. Many monthly GP reviews are conducted via telehealth, with bloods done at home by our nurses — fitting around your schedule.

Can I get Mounjaro delivered to my home in Dubai?+

Yes. Once prescribed, your monthly Mounjaro pen is dispensed by a DHA-licensed UAE pharmacy partner and delivered cold-chain to your home, office or hotel anywhere in Dubai — Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Jumeirah, JVC, Arabian Ranches and beyond.

What if I experience side effects?+

Your named GP is reachable throughout your programme via direct WhatsApp. Mild side effects like nausea are common in the first few weeks and usually settle — your GP will guide you through managing these and adjust your dose if needed.

Will I regain the weight if I stop Mounjaro or Wegovy?+

Some weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1 medication if lifestyle changes haven't been embedded — typically a third to two-thirds of weight lost within a year. That's why our Complete Metabolic Programme includes nutrition and lifestyle work alongside medication, so you have a sustainable plan for after.

Can I stop the programme at any time?+

Yes. This is a flexible monthly programme, not a long-term contract. Your GP will discuss what to expect if you choose to stop, including how your body may respond.

Where does the medication come from?+

All medications are prescribed by your DHA-licensed GP and dispensed through licensed UAE pharmacy partners — genuine, registered Novo Nordisk (Wegovy/Ozempic) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro) products only. No grey-market imports, no compounded copies.

Do you offer Mounjaro near me in Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah and Business Bay?+

Yes — we run our clinic from Churchill Executive Towers in Business Bay and serve patients across Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, JBR, DIFC, Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, JVC and Arabian Ranches with home consultations, home phlebotomy and pharmacy delivery.
