How the Weekly Weight Loss Injection Works

Wegovy is a once weekly self administered injection that contains the active ingredient Semaglutide. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists.

When you start your treatment at our Wegovy UK Bethnal Green chemist, the medication mimics a natural hormone in your body that targets the areas of the brain responsible for regulating appetite.

  • Reduces Hunger: You’ll feel less “food noise” and fewer cravings throughout the day.
  • Increases Fullness: You feel satisfied with smaller portions, making it easier to stick to a calorie controlled diet.
  • Slows Digestion: It keeps food in your stomach longer, prolonging the feeling of being full.

Frequently Asked Question

Am I eligible for a Wegovy prescription?

Wegovy is a prescription only medication. To be, you generally need a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. You may also be eligible with a BMI of 27 or higher if you have a weight related health condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Clinical trials have shown that when used alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, adults can lose an average of 15% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks. Results vary by individual, but many patients see a noticeable difference within the first few months of treatment.

Because Wegovy affects the digestive system, the most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating. These are usually mild and most frequent when you first start or increase your dose. Our team will provide practical tips, such as eating smaller meals and staying hydrated, to help manage these effects.

Both Wegovy and Ozempic contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide, and are made by the same manufacturer (Novo Nordisk). However, in the UK, Ozempic is licensed for Type 2 diabetes, whereas Wegovy is specifically licensed for weight loss and is available in higher doses (up to 2.4mg) for maximum effectiveness in weight management.

No, you do not need a GP referral. As a private weight loss clinic, we can conduct the assessment and issue the prescription in store. However, for your safety, we recommend informing your GP so your medical records stay up to date.
