What are Wegovy and Mounjaro?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are prescription weight-loss medications that work by regulating appetite and improving metabolic function. Wegovy contains semaglutide, while Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist.

How do these medications help with weight loss?

They reduce hunger, slow digestion, stabilise blood sugar and help you feel fuller for longer, supporting sustained weight reduction when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Who is eligible for Wegovy or Mounjaro?

You may be eligible if your BMI is 30 or above, or 27 and above with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance or prediabetes. A clinician will assess suitability.

How are the injections taken?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are once-weekly self-administered injections using a simple pen device. Your clinician will show you how to use it safely.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Clinical studies show average weight loss of 10–15% with Wegovy and 15–22% with Mounjaro. Results vary and are best when combined with lifestyle changes.

What are the common side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and reduced appetite. These typically improve as the dose increases gradually.

Are these medications safe?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are approved treatments with strong safety data. Your clinician will ensure they are suitable for you based on your medical history.

Do I need to follow a special diet?

No strict diet is required, but patients achieve best results with balanced, high-protein meals, portion control and reduced intake of sugary foods and alcohol.

What happens if I stop taking the medication?

Some weight regain is possible if lifestyle changes are not maintained. Many patients move to a maintenance plan after reaching their goal weight.
