Weight Loss FAQs

How do weight loss injections work?

Weight loss injections such as Wegovy or Mounjaro mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and support gradual, sustainable weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

Who is eligible for weight loss medication?

Eligibility depends on factors such as your BMI, medical history, and lifestyle. Typically, patients with a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with weight-related conditions) may qualify. Our clinicians review each case individually before prescribing.

What results can I expect?

Results vary, but clinical studies show patients may lose up to 15–22.5% of body weight over 12–18 months with consistent treatment, combined with healthy eating and activity. Individual results depend on adherence and lifestyle changes.

Are there side effects?

Common side effects can include nausea, bloating, or mild digestive upset, especially in the first weeks. These usually improve over time. Our medical team provides full guidance and ongoing support to minimise side effects.

Do I still need to diet and exercise?

Yes. Medications are most effective when paired with a healthy diet and physical activity. Our treatments are designed to support lifestyle changes, not replace them. This ensures long-term weight management and better overall health.

How long do I need to stay on treatment?

The duration depends on your goals and response to treatment. Many patients continue for several months to over a year. Your clinician will guide you on the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.

Are the medicines safe?

Yes. We only provide UK-licensed medicines that are prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals and dispensed by regulated partner pharmacies. Safety is always our top priority.

Can I stop the injections anytime?

You can stop treatment, but you may regain weight if lifestyle changes are not sustained. Always consult your prescribing clinician before making changes to your medication plan.
