Mounjaro

What is Mounjaro and how does it work?

Mounjaro® is a prescription medication that targets two hormone pathways, GLP1 and GIP. These hormones help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control. Together, they make it easier to reduce calorie intake and achieve sustainable weight loss.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

In clinical trials, people using Mounjaro alongside diet and exercise achieved an average weight loss of up to 22.5% of their starting body weight over 72 weeks. Individual results vary, and progress depends on your dose, starting weight, and lifestyle changes.

Who is Mounjaro suitable for?

Mounjaro is generally prescribed for adults who are overweight or obese, and who may also have related health conditions such as pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Your clinician will assess your medical history to confirm if itʼs the right choice for you.

What doses are available?

Mounjaro comes in pre-filled pens with doses starting at 2.5mg, increasing in gradual steps 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, 15mg) to help your body adjust and minimise side effects.

What are the common side effects?

The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, and fatigue. These usually improve as your body adapts to the medication.

How quickly will I see results?

Some people notice changes in appetite within the first few weeks, but weight loss typically becomes more noticeable after dose increases. Full results are best judged after several months of consistent use.

Do I need to follow a diet or exercise plan?

While Mounjaro helps manage appetite and portion sizes, combining it with a healthy diet and regular physical activity significantly improves results and supports long-term weight management.

Wegovy

What is Wegovy and how does it work?

Wegovy® is a GLP1 medication that mimics a natural hormone involved in appetite regulation. It helps reduce hunger, slows digestion, and supports portion control, making it easier to sustain a calorie deficit for long-term weight loss.

How much weight can I lose with Wegovy?

In clinical studies, participants lost an average of 1617% of their starting body weight over 68 weeks when Wegovy was used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise. Results will vary depending on your lifestyle, starting weight, and adherence to treatment.

Who can take Wegovy?

Wegovy is typically prescribed to adults with a BMI over 30, or over 27 with weight-related health concerns such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Your clinician will confirm eligibility whilst reviewing your information.

What doses are available?

Wegovy is supplied in pre-filled pens with doses ranging from 0.25mg to 2.4mg. Youʼll usually start at the lowest dose and increase gradually over several months to minimise side effects and allow your body to adjust.

What side effects should I expect?

The most common side effects are mild nausea, bloating, constipation, or fatigue, especially during the early weeks. These typically improve over time. Your clinician will give you tips for managing them.

When will I start seeing results?

Some people notice appetite changes within the first few weeks, while visible weight loss is more noticeable after dose increases. Steady, gradual loss is expected for long-term sustainability.

Does Wegovy affect birth control?

No, Wegovy does not reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

Do I need to diet and exercise while on Wegovy?

Yes, combining Wegovy with healthy eating and physical activity gives the best results and helps maintain your weight loss after treatment.

Getting Started

Do I need blood tests before starting?

Most people can start without bloodwork, but if you have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or other relevant conditions, your clinician may request recent test results to tailor your treatment plan.

What information do I need to provide?

Weʼll need a valid photo ID and a recent full-length photo to confirm eligibility. These images are kept securely and used only for clinical verification.

Yes, tracked delivery to your home in the UK is included.
