Weight loss injections - Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda

What Are Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections are prescription medicines that support weight loss by helping to reduce appetite, improve fullness, and support healthier eating behaviours. These treatments are often recommended for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, particularly where weight is affecting health or increasing long-term risks.

we provide access to weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy for eligible patients following a clinical assessment.

These medications can help with:

• Reducing hunger and cravings

• Supporting portion control

• Improving satiety after meals

• Encouraging consistent weight loss over time

• Supporting better health outcomes when combined with lifestyle changes

It is important to remember that medication works best alongside changes to diet, movement, sleep, and daily routines. Our goal is to help you build a plan you can maintain.

Mounjaro For Weight Loss

Mounjaro is a weekly weight loss injection that works by targeting appetite and blood sugar control. It is known for supporting strong results in many patients and may be suitable for people looking for significant weight loss over time.

Potential benefits of Mounjaro include:

• Reduced appetite and fewer cravings

• Improved fullness after eating

• Steady weekly weight loss when used consistently

• Convenient once-weekly dosing

• Support for long-term lifestyle changes

As with any medication, Mounjaro may cause side effects. These are usually mild to moderate and most commonly related to digestion.

Wegovy For Weight Loss

Wegovy is another weekly weight loss injection used to support appetite control and weight reduction. It is widely recognised and commonly prescribed in the UK for weight management, particularly for individuals who meet the eligibility criteria and benefit from an evidence-based approach.

Potential benefits of Wegovy include:

• Reduced hunger and improved appetite control

• Weight loss support when combined with diet changes

• Once-weekly treatment with gradual dose increases

• A structured approach to weight management

• Improved motivation through consistent progress

Like Mounjaro, Wegovy can cause side effects, particularly during the early stages of treatment or when increasing dose levels.

Who Can Use Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections are prescription-only medicines, which means they are not suitable for everyone. Eligibility is typically based on BMI, current health, and whether weight is contributing to health risks.

You may be eligible if you:

• Have a BMI that meets clinical prescribing guidelines

• Have weight-related health risks or conditions

• Have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle change alone

• Are able to commit to monitoring and follow-up

• Do not have medical reasons that make treatment unsuitable

We will review your details carefully to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.

Will I Experience Side Effects?

Most patients experience mild side effects when starting weight loss injections, particularly during dose increases. These often improve as your body adjusts.

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea

• Constipation

• Diarrhoea

• Reduced appetite

• Stomach discomfort
