At myBMI, our first-line treatment for obesity is weekly injections
Whilst many other places choose to use other medications as a first-line treatment, our team of weight management specialists have drawn on their years of expertise and have decided to offer GLP-1 Receptor Agonists to those that meet the criteria. These options include Wegovy and Mounjaro.
Although GLP-1 Receptor Agonists are our preferred first-line treatment, they may not be the right medication for you.
If this is the case, then our prescribers won’t be able to recommend this type of medication and will not write you a prescription for one.
Most people starting our treatment plans will need to increase their dose after the first month.
If you’re starting for the first time or you’re restarting after a few weeks off, you will usually start on either a 0.25mg weekly injection or a 2.5mg weekly injection.
At the end of this 28-day period, you should return for another consultation to increase your dose, as these treatments require titration.
After your first month of treatment, you may be increased to either a 0.5mg weekly injection or a 5mg weekly injection.
!.ie version of this would say weekly injection prescription!
After this, your prescriber will monitor your progress and decide with you whether to increase your dosage again.
The prescriber will always make the final decision on your dosage and treatment, but you will be able to indicate your prescription preference to them during your consultation.
Our weekly injection plan is precisely what it says on the tin – a weekly injection!
No matter what your dose is, you’ll only be injecting once a week, as the dosage change will be reflected in your injector pen.
If you forget a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember, as long as it is within five days of when you were supposed to take your injection.
You should then take your next dose as planned.
If more than five days have passed since you forgot your dose, skip it and wait for the next dosage day.
Our treatment starts at £130, which includes your consultation, any weight loss treatments you may need, as well as supporting treatments if you experience side effects such as nausea or diarrhoea.
The price of treatments may increase as the dosage increases.
With that in mind, we must mention that all of our prices are subject to change at any time. This usually happens to account for increased demand for treatment and supplier shortages.
HOW MUCH DOES A PRESCRIPTION COST?
Our prescriptions are €20; this is the fixed price of your consultation, prescription, and any necessary side effects medication you may need during your treatment.
With that in mind, we must mention that we only supply prescriptions for treatment, and your prescriber will decide your final treatment. You will need to take your prescription to either our partner pharmacy or a pharmacy of your choice. Or you can choose for the pharmacy to deliver it to you.
Our partner pharmacy prices for treatment are X AMOUNT. If you choose to take your prescription to a different pharmacy, we can not guarantee that they will be the same price.
For Wegovy and Mounjaro:
If you forgot to use your injection on your usual day, you can just inject yourself as soon as you remember, as long as it’s within 5 days from your usual injection day.
For example, if you usually inject on a Monday but have forgotten, you can still take your “missed” dose up to Friday.
If more than 5 days have passed since you were supposed to take your injection, you should skip the injection and continue treatment as usual when your next dose is due.
Don’t inject yourself twice to make up for a missed dose.
Currently, we offer prescriptions for first-line treatments as weekly injections. During your first consultation, you will be asked to choose between Wegovy and Mounjaro.
While the specialist prescriber makes the final decision, your preferences will be considered.
Most people who take our weekly injections for weight management find that they help to reduce their appetite and BMI.
Current studies that examine GLP-1 Receptor Antagonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as a treatment for obesity show them to be an effective and safe option for reducing weight in those with a BMI of over 30.
However, as with all medications, there’s no guarantee that it will work for you.
With that in mind, we recommend trying your treatment for at least 12 weeks before deciding whether it’s right for you.
During this time, you should speak with your prescriber regularly so they can help you make any changes you may need to get the most out of your treatment in a safe and effective way.
As with most prescription medicines, Wegovy and Mounjaro injections do have the potential to cause side effects in some people.
However, these usually go away on their own within a few weeks once your body has become used to the medication.
Most of the side effects reported with the weekly injections are related to the gastrointestinal system, so you may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation.
If you are one of our patients and are experiencing side effects of the weekly injections, our healthcare team can provide supplementary treatments to help you as your body gets used to your treatment.
These treatments can include anti-sickness medications, heartburn remedies, and more, depending on your side effects and what is suitable for you.
Weekly injections of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists are now available on the NHS for type 2 diabetes and weight management – where they’re known as Wegovy.
Wegovy is available to patients who have reached tier 3 of the NHS’s weight management services.
Unfortunately, reaching tier 3 of the weight management service can be time-consuming and will not always result in a prescription for GLP-1 injections.
No, but they are similar.
Our first-line treatments are GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, which means that their active ingredient is from the same group of medicines as Liraglutide, the active ingredient in Saxenda.
This means that these treatments work in a similar way, whether you take them as tablets or injections.
However, there are a few differences between our weight loss treatments and Saxenda.
Saxenda is a daily injection, whereas our treatments are administered in the form of weekly injections.
Current studies also show that the GLP-1 Receptor Agonist our prescribers prefer (Wegovy) tends to be three times more effective for weight management and reduction than Saxenda.
Please be aware that although Wegovy injections are convenient, they may not be suitable for you.
Our prescribers will need to undergo an online consultation with you to understand your condition and prescribe the treatment they think will be best for you.
"My main goal was never to look a certain way or be a certain size, I just wanted to feel like I had control over my own body, that I could embrace life and enjoy being in my twenties.
If it weren’t for the weekly injections and the fantastic team of specialists who have supported me throughout this experience, I wouldn’t have gained my life back.
I’m now planning on continuing my weight loss on the weekly injections alongside taking up running – something I never thought my body would achieve!"
"One of the best things about being on weekly injections is the change in my taste – I now crave natural sugars more than anything else.
The benefits have been vast. When I go shopping, I don’t have to buy from the unfairly frumpy ‘plus’ range. I go for walks and my legs don’t ache. I wore a dress with no sleeves or leggings for the first time in my life.
I flew home last week and didn’t worry about awkwardly asking for a seatbelt extender. My mental health has improved hugely and I’m not afraid to say ‘yes’ to new experiences."
