Weight loss injections such as Wegovy, Saxenda and Mounjaro are prescription-only medicines licensed in the UK for weight management. They work by regulating appetite and helping you feel full with smaller portions.
Whether they are suitable for you can only be decided after a full consultation with our GP, and they are one of several options we may discuss alongside diet, activity and lifestyle support.
Why choose Revitamed Health for Weight Management?
As an NHS GP, I have been initiating these GLP-1 medications for my type 2 diabetic patients for over 5 years and looking after those that had them started at the hospital for many more. Over this time, I have gained expertise in these medications, recognising the suitability of them for my individual patients. I have seen first-hand how effective they can be for the right patient, and they rarely need high doses to achieve this. It comes as no surprise that these medications are now big business for the pharmaceutical industry and there are unscrupulous individuals selling fake products out of beauty salons UK wide.
It has created intense competition between the big pharmacies allowing online ‘consultations’ and issuing of these medications to individuals that should not be using them. We are seeing the patients being pushed up the ‘doses’ merely because this sells more ‘pens’ and this is rarely in the patient’s best interest. This not only means that the risk of side effects increases, but also they are leaving patients nutritionally deplete on the equivalent of a ‘crash’ diet and increasing the chance of rebound weight gain on stopping the medications.
At Revitamed Health we will assist you in your personal journey avoiding these pitfalls, to achieve a sustainable safe weight loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are weight loss injections safe?
All medicines carry some risk of side effects. When prescribed and monitored by a doctor, most side effects, such as nausea or mild digestive upset, are temporary and manageable. A full medical review is carried out before treatment to check it is suitable for you.
Am I eligible for weight loss injections?
You are only eligible for these injections if you are over 18 and have a BMI over 30 (or BMI over 27 with other medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure). There are also conditions that would exclude a patient from starting these medications such as a history (or family history) of thyroid cancer, history of acute or chronic pancreatitis, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. They are also not suitable for breast feeding or pregnant individuals.
Do I still need to diet and exercise?
Yes. These injections are designed to support, not replace, healthy habits. You’ll get the best and most sustainable results by combining the medication with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and ongoing support from your care team.
