Weight Loss Treatment
If you are struggling with your weight, your Pharmacist can offer you advice about losing weight, discussing your lifestyle and reviewing your diet and physical activity to manage your weight loss journey safely.
They can also let you know about other useful services, such as:
- Local weight loss groups – these could be provided by your local authority, the NHS, or commercial services you may have to pay for.
- Exercise on prescription – where you’re referred to a local active health team for a number of sessions under the supervision of a qualified trainer.
Medicine
Weight-loss treatments and plans we offer.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, which means it mimics GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), another hormone which our bodies produce after eating. Just like semaglutide, this hormone reduces appetite and helps you lose weight by making you feel fuller while eating less. Because Mounjaro and Wegovy contain different active ingredients, you may find one gives you fewer side effects than the other.
- Starting from £150
- Self injected once a week dose
- Dose increases every 4 weeks until you reach a maintenance dose in your personal treatment plan
Prices & Available Dosages
Wegovy (Semaglutide)
Wegovy works the same way as GLP-1 in your body, which is a hormone produced in our intestines after eating. This hormone sends signals to your brain, making you feel satisfied and full after a meal. It also stimulates the release of insulin, a blood sugar lowering hormone.
- Starting from £120
- Dose increases every 4 weeks until you reach a maintenance dose in your personal treatment plan
- Self Injected once a week dose
