GLP-1 medications are approved for weight management and have undergone extensive clinical trials. Like all prescription medicines, they come with potential side effects, including:

  • Nausea
  • Constipation or diarrhoea
  • Reduced appetite
  • Fatigue

GLP-1 medications are delivered via a small, pre-filled injection pen. You’ll inject it once per week into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

You’ll start at a low dose and titrate up slowly under medical supervision to minimise side effects and optimise results.

GLP-1 injections work best when paired with:
  • Healthier eating habits
  • Increased physical activity
  • Consistent routines
We’ll support you with advice and dose adjustments as needed. This is not a quick fix, it’s a medical pathway to long-term change.
Yes. There’s no contract or obligation to continue. However, stopping treatment may lead to weight regain over time. We recommend discussing any changes with your doctor to manage expectations and ensure continuity of care.
  • If <4 days late: take it when remembered, then resume normal schedule
  • If >4 days late: skip it and continue as planned
  • Don’t double-dose
Possibly — GLP-1 therapies support weight maintenance, not permanence. Continued diet, exercise, and medical follow-up are key to long-term success.
We don’t prescribe to patients already diagnosed with diabetes. Additional medical oversight is required for such cases. Consult your GP.
No, this is a private, online-only service. Currently, prescriptions are not covered by medical cards.
