Wegovy Injections in Charlton

Wegovy is a prescription medicine licensed in the UK to support weight management in adults who are overweight or living with obesity. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, making it easier to control eating habits and reduce calorie intake. Following a consultation, Wegovy may be offered as part of a personalised weight management plan.

How Wegovy Injections Can Support with Weight Loss

Safe and Effective Treatments Available

Wegovy can help reduce feelings of hunger and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier to manage portion sizes and stick to a balanced, lower-calorie diet. When used alongside healthy eating and regular physical activity, it can support gradual, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision.

Who Might Be Suitable for Wegovy?

Wegovy may be considered for adults who are overweight or living with obesity, particularly those with a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. It is designed for people who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone and are looking for additional support as part of a wider weight management plan.

Eligibility for Wegovy Treatment

Before starting Wegovy, a private consultation is required to assess your suitability. Your medical history, current health and lifestyle will all be carefully reviewed to ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe for you. Wegovy is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain health conditions.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

A consultation is an important first step in finding the most suitable weight management support for you. During your appointment, we will take the time to understand your medical history, current health status and any previous experience with weight loss treatments. We will also talk through your goals, challenges and expectations to build a full picture of your needs.

Clear Guidance & Support

During your consultation, you will receive clear information about how Wegovy works, possible side effects, and what lifestyle changes will help you get the best results. We will work with you to create a personalised plan tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout your journey.

Possible Side Effects of Wegovy

Village Pharmacy - Diet Pens

Like all prescription medicines, Wegovy can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Some of the more common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion and reduced appetite.

These symptoms are usually mild and tend to settle over time as your body adjusts to the treatment. Rare but more serious side effects will be discussed fully during your consultation. If you experience any concerns while using Wegovy, it is important to seek advice from a healthcare professional.

It's important to remember:

All weight loss treatments must be prescribed following a consultation to ensure they are safe and appropriate for you. Results can vary from person to person, and no medication guarantees weight loss. These treatments should always be used alongside a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
