WEIGHT LOSS SUBSCRIPTION

We offer access to Monjaro or Wegovy only via our weight loss medication subscription service.  

Mounjaro is a once-weekly injectable medication which mimics two natural hormones in your body: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones help regulate blood sugar, appetite, and insulin response.

Among the range of GLP-1 weight loss injection medications, the most effective (in terms of percentage of weight loss) based on evidence from clinical trials is Monjaro. The evidence suggests it can lead to an average weight loss of around  22% of body weight versus 15% for Wegovy.

Yes, the switching process is very straight forward.

You will need a consultation with our clinician to work out which dose of Wegovy it is best for you to switch to, but the equivalent dosages are generally those listed in the table below.

If you take your Mounjaro dose on a Monday, you simply have to wait till the next Monday to take your dose of Wegovy.

If you have been receiving Mounjaro from a different service then you will need evidence of your most recent dose such as a screen shot of your last prescription.

Please note, it is very important that you do not take both medications together.

Mounjaro Dose | Wegovy Dose

2.5 mg → 0.25 mg

5 mg → 0.5 mg

7.5 mg → 1 mg

10 mg → 1 mg

12.5 mg → 1.7 mg

15 mg → 1.7 mg

Because they are different medications, the dosage schedules of each is different.

Although the dosage of Wegovy appears lower than that of Mounjaro, it is as clinically effective as the equivalent dose of Mounjaro.

• Check your weight using our medical grade scales

You must ensure that you bring one of the following types of photo ID with you to your appointment:

We want to make sure that it is clinically safe for you to begin taking weight loss medication. 

Our baseline blood test will help us check key indicators of your kidney and liver health before you begin taking the weight loss medication.

This will help our GPs to assess whether the medication is having any adverse side effects on your kidney and liver function when you come to repeat this blood test at 3 month intervals. 

The baseline blood test covers your kidney and liver function. 

This is because in rare cases, GLP-1 weight loss medications can lead to kidney damage, especially if you have pre-existing kidney disease. 

Yes. Once you have booked your clinic appointment, you will receive an email with instructions of what you need to bring along with you and how to prepare for the blood test. 

Please ensure you bring along the correct ID with you to confirm your identity, We will not be able to check your eligibility for our weightloss service without this.

During your initial online consultation, our prescriber will go through your blood test results with you and ask you about your medical history to confirm that it is clinically safe for you to begin weight loss medication.

GLP-1 weight loss medications are not recommended while breastfeeding.

GLP-1 medication affects blood sugar and metabolism, and it’s unclear if or how it could be transferred into breast milk or impact a nursing baby. The data of the safety of using these medications while breastfeeding is limited and so we would not prescribe it to you if you are breastfeeding.  

If you are concerned about your weight while breastfeeding, you can book a consultation with one of the nutritional experts and/or our personal trainers we partner with who can help you with setting and achieving your weight loss goals without medication.

This will depend on a few things such as whether or not you are breastfeeding.

GLP-1 medications are not currently recommended during breastfeeding because we don’t have enough safety data. Also, these medications may pass into breast milk and could affect your baby.

It would also depend on how recently you gave birth.  Your body is still recovering, especially in the first 6–8 weeks. It’s important to stabilize any hormonal changes and make sure you’re healing well before starting weight loss meds.

During your online consultation with our prescriber, they will be able to advise on whether GLP-1 medication would be clinically appropriate for you to take - based on the above (i.e. whether you are or planning to breastfeed and how recently you gave birth) along with your medical history. 

If you meet the eligibility criteria, we will collect a blood sample from during your clinical appointment to complete your blood test.

Yes. We want to ensure that it remains clinically safe for you to continue taking the medication after you have begun taking it.  To do this, you will need to have a monthly check-in - by completing an online questionnaire - so that our prescribing team can assess whether it is clinically safe for us to issue your next dose and/or increase it. 

It is also important to check whether or not the medication is having any adverse effect on your liver and/or kidney health via repeat blood tests and GP reviews. Both are included as part of your monthly subscription.

Once our prescriber confirms with you that you can begin taking weight loss medication with us (which they will do during your online consultation appointment) you should expect to receive your first month's supply of medication within 3-4 working days.  

Each month, we will email you a link to complete an online questionnaire to check how you are getting on with the medication and for information on any side effects you may be experiencing.  

You will be asked to complete this questionnaire as soon as you have taken your last injection for the month (i.e. your 4th pen).  

Once you submit your questionnaire response, it will be reviewed by our prescriber to check whether it is safe for you to continue with the medication and whether we can increase your medication dose.  

If it is, our prescriber will process your prescription and ship your next month's supply out to you. 

It is important that you complete the questionnaire as soon as you have taken your 4th does to allow sufficient time for our team to review your response  and to process and ship out your next month’s supply so that you do not have any gap in your medication.

We will not be able to issue your next month's supply if you do not complete your check-in questionnaire as instructed and delays in submitting it will lead to delays in  receiving your medication.

However, we would still need to ensure that you are getting on well with your medication at the dose you are taking before we can bring forward your next month's medication.

You would need to contact our customer services team once you have taken your second dose of medication for the month. 

This would allow time for you to see how you are getting on with the dose you are on and for you to complete our monthly check-in so we can also assess whether it is clinically appropriate to move you up to the next dose.
