What are GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 medications can help lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. They are often recommended to patients who have Type 2 diabetes or persistent weight issues. GLP-1 medications should always be considered as one part of a wider healthy lifestyle solution, not as the only reponse.

How do I know if GLP-1 medications are right for me?

We will sit down with your to discuss the options before recommending GLP-1 medications. We may decide to tackle your issues with lifestyle changes instead. GLP-1 medications many not be relevant or suitable for every patients; however they are generally a very safe medication.

Mounjaro is an injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is commonly used alongside diet and exercise to help improve blood sugar levels. Mounjaro® is one of the most widely used GLP-1 medications.

Do you prescribe different GLP1's?

Studies have shown that Mounjaro is the most effective GLP1 available, however, every patient is different and we are happy to prescribe according to personal preference. Other medications we prescribe include Ozempic, Wegovy and Saxenda

If I have an online consultation, how will I receive my medication?

If you decide to opt for an online consultation we can arrange for delivery of your medication by next day delivery for a small delivery charge of £10

Will my consultation be with a doctor?

You will have your appointment with a specialist GP who has been trained in both lifestyle medicine and the prescribing of GLP1 medications. This is the safest way to start these complex medications. There are a number of online pharmacies who dispence GLP1 medications without consulting with you, but we believe you will get much more value from an appointment with a doctor.

Not necessarily. Some patients choose to continue for maintenance, while others gradually reduce or stop under medical guidance once sustainable lifestyle changes are established.

Can GLP-1 treatments help without major lifestyle changes?

Medication works best alongside a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and physical activity. Your doctor will provide practical, personalised advice to maximise results safely.

Absolutely. We provide continued guidance to help maintain healthy habits and prevent rebound weight gain, even after medication has finished.
