Oral and Injectable licensed weight loss products now available in the UK and shows exciting results

Looking for an evidence based weight loss program under the supervision of doctor? Using evidenced based prescription medications you could lose 20% of your body weight.

What does the package involve?

Our initial program is 3 months long but can be extended as needed and is aimed at patients with a BMI over 30 (or over 27 with other health problems) who would like to embark on prescribed weight loss treatments through injectables or oral medications.

The program will include an initial GP assessment for suitability, blood tests for nutritional markers and overall wellness and your prescription of Wegovy or Mounjaro. Following this you will have regular contact with our nutrition coach- we would normally suggest week 2, 4 and 7 but can be more or less frequent as needed. This can be either face to face, video platform or phone.

The first 3 months are charged at £300 (per month) for injectables or £220 (per month) for tablets per month and then the cost adjusts to £150-£360 per month for our maintenance package.  Price is dependant on the dose of medication needed.

What the program might look like for you:

  • Day 1– appointment with GP for history taking and suitability for treatment. Bloods to be run to consider nutritional deficiencies and cholesterol/blood sugars. If suitable start prescription medication
  • Week 2 – Meet with our health coach to discuss nutrition, side effects, motivational support
  • Week 4 – Meet with our health coach. GP will issue review medication and issue repeat if appropriate
  • Week 7-8 – Meet with our health coach. GP will issue review medication and issue repeat if appropriate
  • Week 11-12 – Review your progress with you health coach and rerun blood tests if required (additional cost if required). Planning for months 4-6
  • Week 12 onwards – ongoing maintenance. Stay in touch with our GPs and health coach to make decisions on long term goals and weight maintenance. Most patients choose to continue treatment with us until they reach a healthy weight

What is Wegovy?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is available as a once weekly injection or a daily tablet that mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 which helps regulate appetite and increases the feeling of fullness.

What results can I expect from Wegovy?

Clinical trials suggest that Wegovy is effective in patients that are overweight or obese. These trials have shown weight loss of around 15-20% over 64 weeks. This medication is very effective even without dietary modification but with the support of our health coach we aim to make long term changes that will enable you to maintain a healthy weight.

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is an once weekly injection that contains tirzepatide which works on two different hormone receptors: GLP-1 and GIP. These both work to make you feel less hungry and feel fuller for longer. Clinical trials suggest weight loss of around 20% of body weight over 18 months when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

What is Foundayo

Foundayo is an oral GLP1 tablet similar to Wegovy tablets. The advantages of this tablet is it can be taken any time a day with no restrictions on empty stomach. Is has a 12% weight loss over 72 weeks and is also an ideal maintenance option for patients reaching target on Mounjaro. There are 6 doses of this medication.

 

Is Wegovy/Mounjaro/Foundayo suitable for me?

All medications are only licenced in those with a BMI over 30 (obese) or over 27 if you have additional health problems that might be impacted by weight such as high blood pressure, osteoarthritis or PCOS.

Patients with a history of thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine tumour or pancreatitis are not suitable for this medication and neither medication is suitable for women who are pregnant.

If you are unsure then just book a free discovery call or send us an email.

How long will it take to work?

These medications start working in 24 hours and so some effects are usually noticeable within the first week. Patients are started on a low dose to reduce any risk of side effects and the dose will then build up over a number of months, if needed, to reach the best dose for you. All this is guided by your GP who will work with you to make decisions on your prescription.

How much is the package?

The package is £220 a month for the first 3 months for oral tablets. This includes your medications, blood tests, nutritional support and GP appointments. For patients choosing injectables then the cost is £300 a month for the first 3 months. After month 3 most patients to choose to continue medications and support with us and the cost of this varies between £150 and £360 dependant on the medication dose required.
