Understanding Wegovy and Mounjaro
Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are prescription-only injectable medicines that work by mimicking hormones which help regulate appetite and blood sugar. They can help reduce hunger and food intake, supporting weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Both are administered as a once-weekly injection, with the dose increased gradually over several weeks under clinical supervision.
Neither treatment is suitable for everyone. Eligibility depends on factors such as BMI, medical history and any current medications, which is why every course begins with a full clinical assessment.
| Treatment | Active ingredient | How it works | Typical schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wegovy | Semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist) | Slows digestion and reduces appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone | Once-weekly injection, dose increased gradually |
| Mounjaro | Tirzepatide (dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist) | Targets two gut hormones to reduce appetite and improve blood sugar control | Once-weekly injection, dose increased gradually |

The Importance of Managing Your Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Unsupervised or unproven weight loss methods can be ineffective, or even risky, so it's worth seeking professional guidance rather than relying on fad diets or unregulated products. Our pharmacy team can help you find a safe, effective and sustainable approach.
