Weight Loss Treatment Overview

Losing weight isn’t just about appearance—it can improve health and energy and lower the risk of long‑term conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. We offer pharmacist‑led consultations with tailored advice. If suitable, you may be prescribed a weekly weight‑loss injection such as Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide).

Wegovy (semaglutide)

  • How it works: Mimics a natural hormone to help reduce appetite.

  • Dosing: Once‑weekly injection, dose increased gradually.

  • Effectiveness: Many patients achieve meaningful weight loss (results vary).

  • Common side effects: Nausea, headache, constipation (often settle).

Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

  • How it works: Dual‑action approach supporting appetite control and glucose regulation.

  • Dosing: Once‑weekly injection with gradual titration.

  • Effectiveness: Some patients achieve greater weight loss than with single‑action treatments (results vary).

  • Common side effects: Nausea, diarrhoea, reduced appetite.

Monitoring & reviews

Monthly check‑ins to support progress and comfort. If progress is limited after several months, we’ll review whether to continue (many programmes use ~5% at 6 months as a guide).

Prescriptions & supply

We usually start with a 1‑month prescription and review monthly. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your chosen UK pharmacy.

Your assessment and next steps

We will discuss your medical history, current medicines, weight and height, previous approaches and goals. Further information or checks may be needed before a treatment decision.

Your pharmacist prescriber will explain suitable options and agree appropriate follow-up. Treatment is assessed individually, and results vary.
