Weight Loss Clinic

In the UK, approximately 64.5% of adults were estimated to be overweight or living with obesity in 2023-2024 (Office Of National Statistics)

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a prescription-only injectable medication that supports weight loss and helps maintain weight loss over time. It works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness.

This medication is designed for adults and is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Mounjaro is a dual-agonist, meaning it activates two important hormone receptors in the body:

  • GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)

  • GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)

By targeting both, it offers a comprehensive approach to appetite control, glucose regulation, and weight management.

How does Mounjaro Work

Mounjaro mimics and enhances the effects of two natural incretin hormones (GIP and GLP-1), which play a role in managing blood sugar and appetite. This dual-action helps:

  • Stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high

  • Lower blood sugar levels

  • Reduce sugar production in the liver

  • Slow stomach emptying, helping you feel full for longer

  • Suppress appetite, making it easier to eat less

What they say

Some of the valuable feed back from our clients

Jackie Manager

I contacted Market Street Pharmacy/Pharmadoctor to discuss weight loss injections. I was offered a consultation the same day and it was in person. It was a very thorough consultation, including reviewing my medical history, checking my care record, and ensuring there were no contraindications for the medication of my choice. I was weighed and encouraged to set a goal weight and a focus area — I chose to increase my activity. At no point did I feel any pressure to make a decision about the medication on the day. The pharmacist was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. I felt at ease asking questions and was given the option of delivery or collection. I would definitely recommend Market Street Pharmacy and Pharmadoctor in Droylsden.

The pharmacist took time to follow all the recommendations in prescribing my weight loss medication. The medication was delivered promptly from my local pharmacy, so it didn’t need all the packaging used when delivered by mail.
