Losing weight isn’t just about appearance—it’s about improving your overall health and well-being. Maintaining a healthy weight can lower the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and joint pain.

Being overweight or obese can have serious health implications, including:

  • Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol
  • Greater likelihood of joint pain, mobility issues, and arthritis
  • Higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes
  • Increased risk of mental health challenges, including low self-esteem and depression

The 5-10% Advantage: Losing even 5% to 10% of your body weight can significantly improve your health markers, helping you feel more energetic, confident, and in control of your well-being.

FAQ

Patient Information

What is the difference between Wegovy and Mounjaro?

Wegovy (Semaglutide) mimics a single gut hormone (GLP-1) to help slow digestion and reduce appetite. Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) targets two hormone receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), offering enhanced metabolic support and typically resulting in greater average weight loss. Both are administered via once-weekly subcutaneous injections.

How do I arrange a walk-in appointment or same-day consultation?

You can easily book today through our online portal or contact our Edinburgh clinic directly. We offer flexible scheduling, including same-day appointment availability for eligible patients looking to start their weight loss journey promptly.

Is there a physical clinic I can visit for support?

Yes! If you are searching for a trusted clinic near me or travel clinic near me in the Edinburgh area, our convenient location at Murrayfield Pharmacy is open today to assist you with face-to-face consultations, BMI checks, and clinical guidance.

What happens if I miss a weekly injection dose?

If you miss a dose, check the specific guidance for your prescribed medication. Generally, if it has been 4 days or less since your scheduled dose, you can take it as soon as you remember. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next injection on your regular scheduled day. Never double up on doses.

Are these weight-loss treatments covered by the NHS through the pharmacy?

No, our medical weight management service is a fully private clinical offering designed to provide rapid, barrier-free access at affordable prices without long NHS waiting lists.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. As an independent prescribing pharmacy, we evaluate your eligibility and issue private prescriptions directly.

How do the injections work?

Both Wegovy and Mounjaro use fine, pre-filled pens designed for easy, self-administered subcutaneous injection once a week on the same day.

Are there side effects?

Mild gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea or bloating) can occur initially as your body adjusts to the medication. Our prescribers will fully brief you on managing these during your consultation

Can I buy Mounjaro or Wegovy without a prescription?

No, both Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only weight-loss medications. You must complete an online consultation with a GPhC-registered prescriber before receiving a prescription.
