Weight loss injections

Weight loss injections are a class of GLP-1 medications, a groundbreaking and clinically proven treatment for weight loss.
GLP-1 medications mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which signals the brain to regulate appetite and metabolism. By replicating these gut hormones, they help suppress appetite, slow digestion, and keep you feeling fuller for longer—leading to weight loss.

Weight loss is a gradual process, and with some weight loss injections, it can take up to 18 months to see the full impact. On average, people lose around 4% of their body weight by month one, 6% by month two, 9% by month three, and 11% by month four, with results reaching up to 22,5% at the 72-weeks mark.

How much weight you could lose varies based on things like your starting weight, lifestyle changes and your body’s response to the medication. Here is a break down of what to expect.

• Month 1: Mounjaro 2.5mg - Expected weight loss under 4% body weight
• Month 2: Mounjaro 5mg - Expected weight loss 5% - 6% body weight
• Month 3: Mounjaro 7.5mg - Expected weight loss 8% - 9% body weight
• Month 4: Mounjaro 10mg - Expected weight loss 11%-12% body weight
• Month 5: Mounjaro 12.5mg - Expected weight loss 12% - 13% body weight
• From month 6 onwards: Mounjaro 15mg - Expected weight loss 14% - 22,5% body weight

When starting or when your dosage increases, you may experience short-term side effects while your body adjusts. Don’t worry, these tend to be mild—most commonly nausea, diarrhoea or vomiting—and usually go away within a couple of weeks.

It’s true that to get the most out of weight loss medication, you should take it for at least a year (while making healthy lifestyle changes).

But per current guidance, you aren’t meant to use these medicines forever. For instance, the NHS recommends that you take Wegovy for two years max.

If you’re using weight loss injections and seeing results, we understand that you might worry about regaining weight when you stop the medication.
