Weight loss injections 101

What are weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections, more scientifically known as GLP-1 injections, are medications that target GLP-1 receptors and are clinically proven to support weight loss.

Though there are many different weight loss injections, they all tend to have a similar mechanism of action. They work by mimicking natural gut hormones, GLP-1, which help control appetite, hunger, and feelings of fullness. This helps reduce food cravings and noise, leading to weight loss.

How effective is it?

While the effectiveness may vary depending on the weight loss injection, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is proven to support significant long-term weight loss. A 36-week clinical trial involving 783 patients across four countries achieved an average weight loss of over 20% of their body weight. An additional 88-week clinical trial with 806 patients achieved an average weight loss of over 25% of their body weight. All patients received lifestyle and physical activity counseling and followed a reduced-calorie diet during the trial.

Is it safe?

There are three weight loss injections licensed by the government’s MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) for weight loss and the treatment of obesity: Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Saxenda. Mounjaro is currently being trialed by the NHS for a select group of participants with a BMI over 40 and three separate health conditions.

Because weight loss injections contribute to weight loss, the long-term effects of the medication are largely positive, as they can help you lead a healthier lifestyle. Some of the long-term effects include:

  • Sustained weight loss: Weight loss injections can lead to significant weight loss, which improves heart health, cholesterol levels, and reduces obesity-related risks.
  • Improved metabolic health: Better insulin sensitivity can lower your risk of diabetes.
What are the side effects?

Before using weight loss injections, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and precautions. Rest assured, any side effects are usually mild and tend to occur when you first start the medication or increase your dose, as your body adjusts to it.

The most common side effects are:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Fatigue
  • Burping and flatulence
  • Irritation, itching, or bruising around the injection site

At Voy, you can contact a prescribing clinician at any time to assist with any side effects that may arise.

How quickly will I see results?

Many people feel reduced appetite in weeks and see noticeable weight loss, typically 2-3kg, in the first month. Full effects build over 12 weeks, kickstarting your weight loss journey.

Which injection is right for me?

There are several different weight loss injections, and we prescribe each medication based on your needs and medical history. The only way we can recommend a medication is by having you complete our eligibility quiz.

That being said, the most popular and effective medication is Mounjaro, which targets two gut hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, instead of just one. Wegovy is a slightly older medication that targets only the GLP-1 hormone. Saxenda is the oldest of these medications and is the least effective for weight loss.

The table below will help outline the differences.

How do dosages work?

If you are new to weight loss injections you will start on a low dose to help your body adjust and minimise the chance of side effects. Your dose will then increase every month unless you choose otherwise. Higher doses can lead to more weight loss, but it's about finding the right balance for you. Your weight loss, your pace. You can control your next dosage at anytime in the Voy app.

If you’re currently using weight loss injections (or have recently used them) you can buy the  step-up dosages through Voy.

Your flexible plan

If you are new to Mounjaro, you will start on a low dose (2.5mg) to help your body adjust and minimise the chance of side effects. Your dose will then increase every month unless you choose otherwise. Higher doses can lead to more weight loss, but it's about finding the right balance for you.

Can I change my dose?
Chevron arrow

If you don’t make any changes, your dose will step up each month as part of your titration schedule.

You’re always in control — you can pause, stay on your current dose, or reduce it anytime in the app.

Higher doses may offer greater weight loss, but it’s about finding your sweet spot: where hunger is well-managed and side effects feel comfortable. Many users don’t need the highest dose to see great results.

Can I start at a higher dose?
Chevron arrow

Yes — if you’re already using weight loss injections (or recently have), you can start on a higher dose that matches your current or most recent prescription.

What happens after I reach my goal?
Chevron arrow

For maintenance, many people reduce their dose to help control hunger and prevent regain.

We’ll never cut you off — you can stay on medication for as long as needed, as long as your BMI remains above 21.
