We're here to help support you on your weight loss journey.
The Medical Weight Management clinic offers the treatment Wegovy (also known as Semaglutide) or Mounjaro (also called Tirzepatide), which is an injectable prescription that contributes to weight loss. It is used for adults who are overweight or obese.
Wegovy acts on the signals on the brain called appetite hormones which regulate how much food you can eat. Once injected into the body, Wegovy acts by reducing your appetite and increasing the feeling of fullness, so that you eat less. It is commonly used for people living with diabetes as it also releases insulin when blood sugar levels are high, therefore reducing blood sugar.
Both Wegovy and Mounjaro are most effective when taken weekly.
