Frequently Asked Questions
How does weight loss treatment work?
Our registered pharmacist provides personalised weight loss consultations. After assessing your eligibility, we prescribe FDA-approved medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy, combined with lifestyle support. These medications work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion.
What is the cost of weight loss treatment?
Treatment costs vary based on the medication and duration. Initial consultations start from £X, with monthly medication costs from £X. See our pricing page for detailed information.
Who is eligible for weight loss treatment?
Eligibility typically requires a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with weight-related health conditions. Our pharmacist will assess your medical history during consultation. Use our BMI calculator to check your eligibility.
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients notice appetite reduction within days. Significant weight loss typically occurs within 4-8 weeks, with average losses of 5-10% body weight over 3-6 months.
Are weight loss injections safe?
Yes, when prescribed and monitored by a registered pharmacist. Mounjaro and Wegovy are FDA-approved medications with extensive clinical trial data. Learn more about safety information.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and temporary, occurring most often when starting treatment.
How is the medication administered?
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are weekly self-administered injections. Our pharmacist provides training on proper injection technique during your consultation.
Can I have a remote consultation?
Yes, we offer both in-person consultations in Glasgow and remote video consultations, making it convenient for patients across Scotland.
Do you serve areas outside Glasgow city centre?
Yes, we serve Glasgow South Side, West End, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Paisley, Clydebank and surrounding areas. See our areas we cover page.
Is treatment covered by insurance or NHS?
Private weight loss treatment is typically not covered by NHS or most insurance plans. However, we offer competitive pricing to make treatment accessible. See our pricing page for details.
What is the difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy?
Mounjaro targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, while Wegovy targets only GLP-1. Mounjaro has shown superior weight loss results in trials. See our comparison guide.
How long do I need to take the medication?
Treatment duration varies based on your goals and progress. Most patients continue treatment for 3-6 months or longer. Our pharmacist will work with you to determine the best treatment duration.
