Introducing our new service which provides weight loss medication and support provided by our qualified and experienced pharmacists.
By taking part in this service you will be started on your personalised weight loss regimen with lifestyle advice and the support and guidance of our team throughout your journey.
What medications do we offer?
Pulteney Pharmacy is currently offering Mounjaro. This is for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30kg/m² or more as well as patients with a BMI between 27-30kg/m² that have a weight-related health condition.
How Mounjaro works?
Mounjaro works by reducing the amount of glucose, or sugar, produced by the liver. It also slows down how quickly food is digested. This way you feel full for a much longer period and your hunger is reduced, aiding weight loss. Mounjaro does this by activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors.
How effective is this treatment?
Mounjaro can help you lose up to 22.5% of body fat. This medication will start working right away and the full effect can be seen within 2-4 weeks.
How to use this medication?
This medication is injected into the abdomen every week on the same day. The duration by which this medication is used depends on your own personal goals, requirements, medical history and adherence to the medication regimen and lifestyle changes.
Each Mounjaro pen lasts 4 weeks and needs to be stored in the fridge before opening and once open it can either be stored in the fridge or at cool room temperature.
Our team will guide you on the use and storage of Mounjaro and are readily at hand to address any concerns and questions you may have.
What are the possible side effects associated?
Common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation and headache. Uncommonly, there is a risk of pancreatitis, gallstones and rarely, allergic reactions.
At Pulteney Pharmacy patients are closely observed and cared for whenever they need help regarding side effects. We are at hand to guide you with any concerns you may have during your weight loss journey.
What are the lifestyle changes I need to consider?
Clean eating habits and exercise are very important even whilst on Mounjaro in order to reach your goals and more importantly, to improve your overall health. This path can be a very good opportunity to change your lifestyle and maintain the weight loss after the doses have been complete.
Pulteney Pharmacy pharmacists are well informed to provide some advice and information on forming healthy habits.
