How do Medical Weight Loss Injections Work?
The weight management service is delivered through individual medical assessments and ongoing clinical supervision. The process begins with a comprehensive health evaluation, which considers weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), lifestyle factors and relevant medical history.
Where clinically appropriate, a qualified prescriber may consider licensed prescription medicines, including GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists. These medicines are prescription-only and are supplied following a medical consultation and suitability assessment.
Such medications act on hormone pathways involved in blood glucose regulation and appetite signalling. Their effects relate to insulin response and gastric emptying processes within the body. Treatment decisions are made on an individual basis and require continued medical oversight.
In addition to any prescribed treatment, patients may receive guidance relating to nutrition and physical activity. Follow-up consultations are arranged to review progress and determine whether adjustments to the management plan are clinically appropriate.
You will attend an in-person consultation with our prescribers, who will assess your health and suitability for weight loss injection medication.
The program will provide you with continuous support during your weight loss journey through medication assistance by conducting periodic reviews to check your progress and weight and medication dosage.
Weight loss may be seen within 4–6 weeks. The results depend on how well the person follows the instructions and how their body reacts to the treatment. Many clients lose 5–10% of their body weight within 12 weeks.
The treatment leads to appetite suppression and reduced cravings and increased energy levels and improved portion control. Some people may feel a little queasy or have some stomach discomfort during the first few weeks.
The medication may cause nausea as well as constipation and headaches and dizziness. The risk of gallbladder problems or pancreatitis exists although it occurs infrequently.

What is Mounjaro (tirzepatide)?
Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a prescription-only medication licensed in the UK for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is administered as a once-weekly injection and belongs to a class of medicines that act on hormones involved in blood sugar regulation.
Tirzepatide works on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which are involved in insulin release and appetite signalling. As a prescription medicine, Mounjaro is only suitable for use under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional and following a clinical assessment.
How should Mounjaro be stored?
Mounjaro pens should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C before use. They should not be frozen. If the medication has been frozen, it should not be used.
After first use, storage instructions may vary depending on manufacturer guidance, so patients should always follow the instructions provided in the patient information leaflet and advice given by their prescribing clinician. Medication should be kept out of sight and reach of children.
How does Mounjaro work in the body?
Tirzepatide works by mimicking the action of two naturally occurring gut hormones: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These hormones play a role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.
By activating both receptors, tirzepatide helps support insulin release in response to food intake and influences signals related to satiety. Its effects occur within the body’s existing metabolic pathways and require ongoing medical supervision.
