Weight Loss Injections

At Being Well, we offer the latest prescription-only weight loss injections after a face to face consultation with one of our prescribing pharmacists. Our approach to this is personalised as we recognise there are complex factors involved in weight gain. The answer is never as simple as “eat less, exercise more”. 

During the consultation we check weight loss injections are medically suitable. We’ll walk you through the side-effects and what to expect during this exciting and potentially life-changing process.

This consultation is free and usually takes around half an hour. We’re experienced in these conversations, unpacking people’s weight gain story, and planning the pathway to healthy weight loss.

We also offer additional services via external companies and coaches such as nutrition and psychological support, personal training, strength and conditioning and meal prep. We’ve got a support service for every barrier to weight loss.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do weight loss injections work?
The injection functions by replicating the actions of a vital natural hormone in the body known as GLP-1. This hormone is pivotal in overseeing appetite and metabolism. This means the injection effectively manages cravings, curbing caloric intake and fostering gradual weight loss.
Are they suitable for everyone?
While weight loss injections have shown remarkable results for many individuals, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it’s the right fit for you. People with certain medical conditions or allergies may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. There is also a minimum BMI (body mass index) requirement to be started on the weight loss injections. We talk this through in the first consultation, so don’t worry.
Are there any side effects?
As with any medication, the injection may have side effects. These can include nausea, diarrhea, and headaches. It’s crucial to discuss your medical history with us in the first appointment to assess potential risks and benefits.
How long does it take to see results with weight loss injections?

Individual responses may vary, but many users start to see noticeable results within a couple of months. Consistency with the prescribed treatment plan and incorporating a healthy lifestyle around nutrition and exercise can enhance the effectiveness and reduce the side effects of the injections. We discuss this in detail during consultations.

Can the weight loss injections be combined with other weight loss strategies?
Definitely, the weight loss injections can be used as part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy. Combining medication with a balanced diet and regular exercise may amplify the positive outcomes of the weight loss injections and reduce side effects.
Are they safe for long-term use?
Research suggests that the injections are generally safe for long-term use under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and monitoring are essential to ensure it is still working well and addressing any issues. This is why we see our patients face-to-face at least every four weeks.
