Weight Loss Pens and Injections
Weight loss injections can be a safe and effective way to lose extra weight. Some treatments, like Mounjaro®, have been shown to help people lose up to 22.5% of their body weight.
Choosing the right injection depends on:
✔ Your medical history
✔ Your comfort with self-injections
✔ Your personal preferences
In the UK, Mounjaro® and Wegovy® are popular choices because they are taken just once a week and have been shown to be more effective than many other weight loss treatments.
How do they work?
GLP-1 treatments help with weight loss in three important ways:
✔ Control Appetite: They reduce hunger, making it easier to eat less.
✔ Slowing Digestion: They help you feel full for longer.
✔ Regulating Hormones: They balance blood sugar and energy levels, improving how your body processes food.
These effects work together to support long-term weight management. If you're thinking about this treatment, take our online assessment to see if it’s right for you.

How Effective Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections work best when taken at the maintenance dose, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.
The results shown are based on clinical trials where participants combined the injections with a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise.
Weight Loss Injection Average Weight Loss (% of Body Weight) Timeframe Source Mounjaro® (15 mg) Up to 20.9% 72 weeks Wegovy® (2.4 mg) Up to 14.9% 68 weeks Saxenda® (3 mg) Up to 8% 56 weeks
These figures are based on clinical trial data and may vary depending on individual factors such as adherence to treatment, lifestyle modifications, and baseline health conditions. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate weight loss strategy for your specific situation.
Note: The percentages represent the mean percentage change in body weight observed in clinical trials.
Benefits of weight loss pens online
Weight loss injections like Mounjaro®, Wegovy®, and Saxenda® have been clinically proven to help with weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan. For best results, certain foods should be avoided while using these treatments.
Key Benefits of Weight Loss Injections:
More effective than weight loss tablets or lifestyle changes alone.
Reduces appetite, making it easier to stick to a diet plan.
Lowers blood sugar levels, which can benefit overall health.
Easy to use pre-filled injectable pens—no need for syringes.
May help prevent the need for weight loss surgery.
Health & Well-Being Benefits of Losing Weight:
Lower risk of weight-related conditions, such as prediabetes.
Boosted confidence and self-esteem.
Improved mental health, especially if weight has affected mood.
Better physical health, reducing strain on the heart, joints, and bones.
Weight Loss Pens Online
The approved weight loss injections available in the UK are Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Saxenda®.
All three belong to the same group of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help control appetite and support weight loss. However, Mounjaro® is unique because it also mimics a second hormone, GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), making it a dual agonist for even greater effectiveness.
Wegovy® (Semaglutide)
Weekly Weight Loss Injection
Wegovy® is a weight loss injection that contains the active ingredient semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, helping you feel full for longer and making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
How to Take Wegovy®
Injected once a week, on the same day each week.
The dosage increases gradually until reaching a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg.
How Effective Is Wegovy®?
In clinical trials:
50% of people lost 15% or more of their starting weight.
83.5% of people lost at least 5% of their starting weight.
These results were based on injecting the 2.4 mg dose for 68 weeks alongside a healthy diet.
Wegovy® vs. Ozempic®
The same active ingredient (semaglutide) is used in Ozempic®, a treatment for type 2 diabetes. However, Wegovy® is designed specifically for weight loss, and you do not need to have diabetes to use it.
Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)
Weekly Weight Loss Injection
Mounjaro® is a once-weekly weight loss injection that contains tirzepatide, which mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones. Like Wegovy®, it reduces appetite and slows digestion, but the added GIP is believed to further enhance these effects.
How to Take Mounjaro®
Injected once a week, on the same day each week.
The dosage gradually increases up to a maximum maintenance dose.
How Effective Is Mounjaro®?
Clinical trials show:
Users lost up to 22.5% of their starting weight after 72 weeks on the highest 15 mg dose.
96.3% of people lost at least 5% of their starting weight.
Mounjaro® for Weight Loss vs. Diabetes
While Mounjaro® is also approved as a type 2 diabetes treatment, it can be prescribed specifically for weight loss, even if you don’t have diabetes. However, the dosage schedule may differ for those using it to manage diabetes.
Who can purchase weight loss treatments?
In the UK, weight loss treatments, including prescription medications like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Saxenda, can only be prescribed by a healthcare professional, typically a GP (general practitioner) or a prescriber.
Eligibility for Prescription Weight Loss Treatments:
Generally, these treatments are prescribed to individuals who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or higher (obesity) or BMI of 27 or higher if they have weight-related health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
In the UK, weight loss treatments like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Saxenda can be purchased only with a prescription, and individuals must meet certain health criteria such as a specific BMI and failure of other weight management methods. You must complete a health assessment before starting your weight loss treatment to ensure suitability.
PillTime only provide weight loss treatments to those who are 18 or over. You must also complete a check-in assessment before you will be prescribed each additional dose.
Who Should NOT Take Weight Loss Injections?
You should not take semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide, or similar weight loss medications if you:
🚫 Are not overweight or obese
🚫 Are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
🚫 Have severe digestive issues like gastroparesis
🚫 Have an allergy to the medication
If you have other medical conditions, speak to your doctor before starting treatment to ensure it’s safe for you.
Do Weight Loss Injections Work for Everyone?
Weight loss injections work for most people, but they don’t work on their own—you’ll need to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan for the best results. If one injection doesn’t work for you, a different one with another active ingredient may be more effective. These treatments are most effective once you reach the maintenance dose.
Safety, side effects and considerations
Like all medications, weight loss injections may cause side effects, especially when you first start or increase your dose. These usually improve within a few weeks. If side effects persist or become severe, speak to a doctor - you may need a lower dose or a different treatment.
Common Side Effects
Nausea (feeling sick)
Vomiting (being sick)
Diarrhea or constipation
Headaches
Dizziness
Dry mouth
Redness or itching at the injection site
Serious Side Effects (Rare, but Require Urgent Medical Attention)
Diabetic retinopathy complications (Wegovy® only, in diabetics)
Pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas)
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
If you experience severe pain, breathing difficulties, or swelling, call 999 or go to A&E immediately. For a full list of side effects, check the patient information leaflet.

Weight loss injections FAQs
Where to Buy Weight Loss Injections in the UK
You can get weight loss injections with a prescription from:
Online pharmacy services, like PillTime Weight Loss
Private doctors
The NHS, but only through a specialist weight management service (not a GP)
How to Buy Weight Loss Injections Online
To buy online, you’ll need a prescription. Here’s how it works with PillTime Weight Loss:
Complete a short online questionnaire about your health and BMI.
A prescriber reviews your details and, if suitable, prescribes the treatment.
Your medication is delivered to your door, with different delivery options available.
Can You Get Weight Loss Injections on the NHS?
Yes, but only through a specialist weight management programme - your GP cannot prescribe them directly. You’ll need a referral, which may take time.
To qualify for weight loss injections on the NHS, you must have:
A BMI over 35 kg/m² or
A BMI over 30 kg/m² plus a weight-related condition, like prediabetes
If an injection isn’t NHS-approved yet, it usually becomes available a few months after private clinics start offering it.
How Much Weight Can I Lose with Weight Loss Injections?
The amount of weight you lose depends on the injection you take and how well you follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. Most people lose at least 5% of their body weight.
Wegovy® (2.4 mg maintenance dose) → Up to 15% weight loss after 68 weeks
Mounjaro® (15 mg highest dose) → Up to 22.5% weight loss after 72 weeks
You’ll see the best results once you reach the maintenance dose.
How Long Do Weight Loss Injections Take to Work?
You may notice a reduced appetite after just a few injections, but significant weight loss usually takes a few months. The full effects are seen once you reach the maintenance dose.
Do I Need to Exercise While Taking Weight Loss Injections?
Yes! The NHS recommends at least 2.5 hours of exercise per week. Regular activity helps improve your results and supports a healthy lifestyle to keep the weight off long-term.
Can You Drink Alcohol While Taking Weight Loss Injections?
Yes, but it’s best to limit or avoid alcohol because it can:
Add extra calories that make weight loss harder.
Increase side effects like nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset.
Lead to unhealthy food choices, making it harder to stick to your plan.
If you choose to drink, wait until you know how the medication affects you, especially when starting or increasing your dose.
Can Weight Loss Injections Be Self-Administered at Home?
Yes! Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Saxenda® come in easy-to-use injectable pens with pre-measured doses, so you don’t need to handle needles. We will include guidance on how you use them, and the patient information leaflet includes clear instructions.
What Happens When You Stop Weight Loss Injections?
When you stop using weight loss injections, the effects gradually wear off. How quickly this happens depends on how long you’ve been taking the medication and your dosage. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for your hunger levels to return to normal.
To maintain your weight loss, it’s important to stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine. If you stop too soon, there’s a chance you could regain the weight you lost.
These injections are designed for long-term weight management, as obesity is considered a chronic condition. They are generally safe to use long-term, as long as you don’t experience serious side effects.
Will I Regain Weight After Stopping Weight Loss Injections?
It depends. If you stick to a healthy diet and exercise, you’re less likely to regain weight. However, if you return to old eating habits, you might gain some or all of the weight back.
Stopping treatment too early can also lead to weight regain. Follow your prescriber’s guidance on how long to continue the injections.
