How Do Mounjaro Weight Loss Injections Work?

Yes, Mounjaro has full regulatory approval in the UK. It is authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for weight management in adults. You can feel confident that the treatment meets all UK safety and efficacy standards.

Mounjaro works by mimicking natural hormones that regulate hunger and blood sugar. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and boosts insulin sensitivity. This multi-action approach makes it highly effective for long-term weight loss.

Clinical trials have shown average weight reductions of 20% to 25% over time. Results vary based on individual response and lifestyle factors. With proper support, patients often experience meaningful and sustainable weight loss.

The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once per week. This allows your body to adjust gradually before increasing the dose. Your clinician will guide you through the titration process for safe escalation.

Mounjaro is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. It’s easy to manage and fits conveniently into your schedule. Our team will help you establish a routine that works best for you.

No, Mounjaro is not recommended during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. If you become pregnant while on treatment, consult your clinician immediately. We’ll work with you to adjust your care plan appropriately.

Yes, Mounjaro may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives due to delayed gastric emptying. We advise using an additional form of birth control. Your clinician will help ensure you’re properly protected throughout your treatment.

Some of the most commonly reported Mounjaro side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, fatigue, constipation, and reduced appetite. These are generally mild and often improve as your body adjusts. Our team will monitor your comfort and progress throughout treatment.

Many clients begin noticing early changes within a few weeks. More significant and visible weight loss usually develops over several months. Progress is steady and long-lasting with proper lifestyle support.

A balanced, calorie-controlled diet is recommended to maximise your results. Focus on lean proteins, whole foods, and hydration. Our nutrition advisors will provide tailored dietary guidance that fits your lifestyle and goals.

You must be between the ages of 18 and 84, with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with a related health condition. Additionally, you must be a resident of Birmingham or London to qualify for treatment at our clinics.

We recommend discussing any changes with your clinician first. Abruptly stopping can affect your progress or metabolic balance. We’ll help you taper safely or explore alternatives based on your goals and health profile.

If it’s within 4 days of your scheduled dose, you can still take it. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Our team can help if you’re ever unsure.

Allergic reactions are rare but possible. Symptoms may include swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing. If you notice anything unusual, contact our team or a healthcare provider promptly for evaluation and support.

While severe side effects are uncommon, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately if they occur. Our team is always available for guidance. Never hesitate to reach out, we’re here to support your safety.

Treatment duration varies by individual. Many patients stay on Mounjaro long-term with regular medical reviews. Your clinician will help evaluate your ongoing progress and decide the ideal duration for your weight management journey.
