To qualify for weight loss medication, you typically need to meet certain BMI requirements. This usually means:

• BMI over 30, or

• BMI between 27 and 30 with a weight-related condition or risk factor.

You must also be 18 or older. Each medication has its own specific guidelines, so a qualified prescriber will review your medical history and current medications to ensure it’s safe for you.

Weight loss injections help control hunger by mimicking natural hormones in your body. GLP-1 (found in Wegovy® and Mounjaro®) and GIP (found in Mounjaro®) send signals to your brain that make you feel full, even after eating less. They also slow down digestion, so you stay satisfied for longer.

Many people struggle to cut calories or reduce snacking because they still feel hungry. By curbing appetite, weight loss injections make it easier to stick to a healthy diet and lose weight.

Capsules like Orlistat/Xenical help you lose weight by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat in your food. This means you take in fewer calories from fat, which can support weight loss over time.

Injectable treatments like Wegovy® and Mounjaro® work differently—they help control your appetite. These treatments mimic a natural hormone (GLP-1) that tells your brain you're full, helping you eat less. They also help regulate blood sugar and keep you feeling satisfied for longer.

Both types of treatments work best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise as part of your weight loss plan.

Injectable GLP-1 treatments can be up to six times more effective than diet and exercise alone and nearly twice as effective as weight loss tablets.

Mounjaro® is the most powerful option, as it combines GIP + GLP-1 for better results. Studies show that with the highest dose and healthy lifestyle changes, users lose an average of 20.9% of their body weight in 36 weeks and up to 25.3% in 88 weeks.

In comparison, Wegovy® users report an average weight loss of up to 15% after a year.

Mounjaro® and Wegovy® are once-a-week injectable pens that are simple to use.

They come pre-measured, so there’s no need for syringes or manual dosing. You can inject them into your arm, leg, or abdomen using a small, fine needle designed for a nearly painless experience.

Each pen includes clear instructions, and video demonstrations are available to guide you through the process.

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are some of the most effective weight loss medications available.

They work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that controls appetite, slows digestion, and helps you feel full longer. This makes it easier to eat smaller portions and reduce calorie intake, leading to gradual weight loss.

GLP-1s are the key ingredient in injectable treatments like Mounjaro® and Wegovy®, which work best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Yes, the injectable treatments (Mounjaro® KwikPen and Wegovy®), and Alli® are all licensed for weight loss in the UK.

When taking weight loss tablets or injections, you may experience some side effects, which can vary depending on the treatment.

Common Side Effects:

• Stomach issues – abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation

• Nausea or vomiting – feeling sick or being sick

• Headaches

• Changes in taste

• Fatigue – feeling more tired than usual

Losing weight quickly can also affect your body. You might notice loose or sagging skin where you've lost weight, or stretch marks as your skin adjusts.

For women, weight loss can also affect periods. Being overweight can cause irregular or missed periods, but during weight loss, your cycle may change again. Once you reach a stable weight, your periods may become more regular.
