In the UK, there are three weight loss injections approved for obesity treatment: Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Saxenda.
What about Ozempic?
Ozempic isn’t approved for weight loss in the UK—it’s licensed for diabetes. However, Wegovy contains the exact same active ingredient (semaglutide) and is made by the same manufacturer.
How do they work?
All three injections act on the GLP-1 receptor, a hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Mounjaro goes a step further, also targeting the GIP receptor, which plays a role in metabolism. This dual action makes Mounjaro the most effective weight loss injection available.
Mounjaro’s dual action on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors makes it more effective for weight loss compared to Wegovy and Saxenda, according to studies. That said, both medications are highly effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
In a clinical trial of 2,539 adults, those taking 15mg of Mounjaro for 72 weeks lost an average of 20.9% of their body weight. For Wegovy, research shows an average weight loss of 14.9% after 68 weeks on 2.4mg.
Both options offer significant results—it’s about finding the right fit for your journey.
Since Mounjaro and Wegovy target similar receptors, their side effect profiles are largely the same.
Side effects are common with both medications, but they are typically mild and resolve as the body adjusts. The most frequently reported adverse effects include:
These symptoms occur in more than 1 in 10 patients and are most prevalent during the initial weeks of treatment. If you have concerns about side effects or their management, Voy’s clinical team is available to provide guidance and support.
