What Are Weight Loss Medications?

Weight loss medications help you lose weight by reducing hunger, increasing satiety, or boosting metabolism. They are designed to support your journey, especially when combined with lifestyle changes and professional care.

There are two main types:

Oral options like Duromine®, Tobramax®, and Contrave®, trusted for decades, and newer injectables like Saxenda®, Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® - many of which contain Semaglutide and are taken weekly.

While weight loss medications can be effective, they are not a quick fix. At Winnett Specialist Group, we use these treatments safely and appropriately as part of a personalised plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What are weight loss injectables, and how do they work?
Prescription weight loss injectables, including Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Saxenda®, are administered via pre-filled pens. These medications may assist in appetite regulation by influencing hunger signals in the brain. Eligibility and suitability for these treatments are determined through a comprehensive medical consultation.
2Do weight loss injectables hurt?
Many patients report that the injection process is comfortable, as the needles used are small and designed to minimise discomfort. Our team will guide you on how to administer the injections safely.
3Are weight loss medications and injectables safe?
Yes, when prescribed and monitored by professionals like our team at Winnett Specialist Group. We ensure all treatments are tailored to your health needs, and any potential side effects are discussed and managed.
4Will I need to stay on weight loss medications or injectables forever?
Not necessarily. These medications are tools to help you kickstart your weight loss and make lasting lifestyle changes. Our holistic approach focuses on building sustainable habits so you can maintain your progress, even if you stop the medication.
5What are the potential side effects of weight loss medications?
Side effects can vary but may include nausea, fatigue, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects, such as gallstones or gastroparesis, can occur. Our team provides full oversight to monitor and manage any side effects, ensuring your safety.
