When willpower alone is not enough…consider the support of prescription weight loss injections
How many times have you tried to lose weight and been unsuccessful because your willpower isn’t strong enough to continue?
If you know what you’ve got to do to shed a few pounds, but simply cannot control your eating habits or cravings and have exhausted all your other options, we’ve got exactly what you need to help get things under control.
At The Slimming Clinic, we know how tough it can be to lose weight when your willpower disappears, which is why our team is here to help.
We are proud to offer one of the widest ranges of weight loss medications including the weight loss injections Wegovy and Mounjaro.
With support from our weight loss experts, alongside using our weight loss pens, we can make your dream of a happier, healthier lifestyle a reality.
Prescription weight loss injections at The Slimming Clinic
The GLP-1 prescription-only weight loss injections prescribed by our clinicians are proven to safely control your hunger, by acting on receptors in the appetite control centre of the brain, AKA, the hypothalamus.
As well as this, they also postpone the emptying of your stomach, causing you to feel fuller much quicker and for a longer period of time.
By reducing your appetite, the weight loss medication injection will help you stick to a calorie-controlled diet and achieve your weight loss goals.
Studies have shown that patients using medical weight loss injections (alongside a healthy, reduced-calorie diet and plenty of exercise) can lose around 10% of their body weight – which is a significant amount of weight – within just 12 weeks of starting treatment.
This form of medical weight loss treatment may not be something that you’ve tried before, however, unlike other methods, it is proven to be effective to not only help you lose weight but keep it off, too!
How do Weight Loss Injections Work?
We offer two brands of weight loss injections Wegovy and Mounjaro. Both include the hormone receptor GLP 1.
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP 1) helps to regulate blood sugar levels. This sends signals to the brain to reduce your appetite levels and prevent cravings. It also slows down the emptying of the stomach helping you to feel fuller for longer.
Mounjaro has an extra ingredient glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). GIP regulates energy balance in brain and fat cells, enhancing the GLP-1 effect of suppressing your appetite and improving sugar control.
Taking GLP 1 agonist medicines
GLP-1 medicines can be taken as an oral medication, but are generally administered via a once weekly injection.
GLP-1 medicines, like Wegovy and Mounjaro, are just one of the solutions, and we can prescribe them here at The Slimming Clinic.
During a consultation with our experts here at The Slimming Clinic, we’ll assess your suitability and only write your prescription once we’re confident it’s the most suitable option for you.
If you choose an injectable medication, your dedicated weight loss doctor will provide all the necessary information and advice about injection sites (you may be asked to inject yourself under the skin on the front of your thighs, your tummy or your upper arms), dosages and when/how often to take the medication.
Injectable medication may not be the best option if you:
- Are younger than 18
- Are currently pregnant
- Have a personal or family history of pancreatitis, type one diabetes or retinopathy
- Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
- You can continue taking other medications as normal unless instructed otherwise by your assigned weight loss doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Weight Loss Injections Suitable For Me?
Unfortunately, weight loss injections aren’t suitable for everyone trying to lose weight, and there are certain criteria you must meet to be prescribed them.
Our weight loss injections can only be prescribed to people with a BMI (body mass index) of 27 or over.
You also won’t be able to use medical weight loss injections if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
Luckily, there are many other ways you can lose weight, and we’d be more than happy to discuss alternative treatments available at The Slimming Clinic with you.

Depending on your weight loss requirements, your dedicated Slimming Clinic doctor will discuss exactly how to administer it and how high a dosage of the weight loss medication you will need.

How long will I need to use the weight loss injection for?
The weight loss injection is generally tolerated well and can be used over the long-term for safe, effective and sustainable weight loss.
As you begin to near your weight loss goals, you and your Slimming Clinic doctor can begin to discuss your dosage and requirements for further weight loss injection use.
How do I know whether a weight loss injection / this treatment is right for me?
At your appointment, your doctor will discuss every treatment we offer and depending on your requirements and suitability, you are able to select the weight loss injection as your weight loss medication of choice.
You will be closely monitored by our weight loss doctors to ensure that your medication is offering you safe and sustainable weight loss and proving effective for you to reach your weight loss goals.
You will also receive regular, 1-to-1 appointments with your Slimming Clinic doctor who will offer you dietary, mindset, movement and lifestyle advice alongside your weight loss medication to ensure you are getting the support and help you need to achieve your weight loss aims.
