What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a weight loss medicine that can help to regulate your appetite and
reduce cravings. It can be a very effective medicine to achieve sustained
weight loss when used alongside a reduced calorie diet, increased physical
activity and healthy lifestyle choices.
An injection you give yourself just once a week (subject to clinical suitability),
it’s quick and easy to use.
How does Wegovy Work?
Wegovy® essentially works by suppressing the appetite and regulating food
intake. The active ingredient, semaglutide, mimics the action of the hormone
that’s involved in regulating appetite. This means you feel fuller for longer and
less hungry. This can help you to eat less and hopefully lose weight.
It works best when it’s taken at the same time as making lifestyle changes
(healthier diet and increased exercise). In fact, around 85% of users lost at
least 5% of their weight, compared to just 40% losing 5% when no lifestyle
changes were made.

What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a weekly self–injectable pen used for weight loss. It contains
tirzepatide which works by regulating blood sugar and energy balance levels,
helping to reduce appetite and prevent cravings.
How does Mounjaro Work?
The active ingredient in Mounjaro is called tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide works on two different hormonal receptors: glucagon-like peptide-
1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). You may
have heard of GLP-1 from other weight loss injections.
GLP-1 helps to regulate blood sugar levels, which in turn talks to the brain to
make you feel less hungry and prevent cravings. It also slows down the
emptying of the stomach to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
GIP regulates energy balance in brain and fat cells, enhancing the GLP-1
effect of suppressing your appetite and improving sugar control.
By mimicking the effects of both these naturally occurring hormones,
Mounjaro has been shown to have greater weight loss potential than
medicines that work on GLP-1 alone.
