Achieving your weight loss goals just got easier with our private weight loss service at Milton Road Pharmacy. With no need for a GP appointment, you can take control of your weight management journey with medically-approved treatments like Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) and other effective weight loss injections.
Who is Eligible for Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) or Other Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections like Mounjaro are typically prescribed for individuals who meet specific criteria, including:
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (classified as obese). How to calculate your BMI?
- A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
- Adults over 18 who are committed to making lifestyle changes alongside medical support.
How does weight service work?
Weight loss medication will be provided in 28-day increments, ensuring that progress with weight management and treatment effectiveness is reviewed before each new supply. Patients will be scheduled for evaluations every 4 weeks to monitor their progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
For specific medications such as Mysimba, Saxenda, and Mounjaro (Tirzepatide), a minimum of 4 weeks is required to gradually adjust the dose from the initial starting dose to the recommended maintenance dose.
At each appointment, the following checks will be performed:
- Weight, BMI, and optionally waist circumference, to assess whether the treatment and lifestyle changes are leading to positive outcomes.
- An assessment of whether the prescribed treatment continues to be effective.
After 12 weeks of continuous treatment at the maintenance dose, the patient’s weight will be reassessed to determine if they have achieved the target weight loss of greater than 5% of their starting weight.
What medicines do we offer as part of the weight loss service?
- Orlistat capsules (focused on reducing calorie intake from fat)
- Saxenda Injection (daily injections): mimics a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and slows stomach emptying to make you feel full longer.
- Mounjaro (weekly injections): it mimics a natural hormone to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness.
- Semaglutide Injection (Wegovy), weekly injections: it mimics a natural hormone to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness.
Note: we will advise you on the best availability of weight loss medication. Currently, we recommend Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) for injectable weight loss medication due to the best availability.
How Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Works
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is an innovative medication designed to support weight loss by targeting specific hormonal pathways in the body. It works by:
- Regulating Appetite: Mounjaro activates receptors in the gut and brain that help you feel fuller for longer, reducing overeating.
- Improving Blood Sugar Levels: Originally developed for diabetes, it helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can indirectly aid in weight management.
- Boosting Metabolism: The medication promotes efficient use of energy, making weight loss more achievable.
This multi-action approach helps you achieve sustainable results while addressing the underlying factors contributing to weight gain.
