About Weight Loss Treatment

In recent years, new medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, better known by their brand names Wegovy and Mounjaro, have gained significant attention for their effectiveness in helping people to lose weight. These drugs effectively reduce appetite and cravings, and when combined with lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and exercise, are leading to substantial weight loss results for individuals who have typically struggled with their weight.

Clinical trials have shown impressive results, with Mounjaro offering up to 20% weight loss over 17 months, while Ozempic provides up to 15% over a year. The health benefits of reducing excess weight are well known, including reduced likelihood of heart attacks, strokes and other serious conditions. There are significant benefits to mental wellbeing too, often weight is associated with confidence and happiness. As more people seek effective, long-term solutions for weight management, these medications are becoming increasingly popular options.

Thinking of switching treatments?

You may thinking about changing your weight-loss treatment due to recent problems with the cost and availability of Mounjaro.

If you need more information to make a decision, here's what our Chief Medical Officer, Dr Adam Kirk, said:

  • It is true, Mounjaro did better than Wegovy on weight loss in trials, but not by much.
  • But, Wegovy is known to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes significantly, while the trials for Mounjaro are currently taking place.
  • If you are wanting to use the injections, Wegovy was better tolerated in trial. That means the people who received Wegovy had less problems with their injections than the people receiving Mounjaro.
  • On the whole, patients taking Wegovy or Mounjaro can have gastric upsets, but the evidence available for Wegovy is more widely known because it's older (Wegovy was available from 2017, Mounjaro from 2022). This also means the professionals prescribing Wegovy may be more familiar with it and its side effects as they have been using it longer.
