Following government health care advice and medication shortages we will not be providing Ozempic weight loss injections until further notice.

Weight Loss Ozempic (Semaglutide)

Ozempic is a weekly Semaglutide injection. It is clinically proven to be effective for weight loss. It does this by suppressing the appetite.

Our Doctors can prescribe the drug Ozempic for weight loss.

Ozempic is a weekly injection containing the active ingredient semaglutide. It was developed to manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes where it was recognised that patients lost weight whilst using the medication.

That is because Ozempic:

Suppresses your appetite so you eat less
Increases the time it takes for food to move through your gut and makes you feel fuller for longer

You can only get Ozempic with a prescription and it should be used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.

In your appointment your Doctor will assess your suitability for Ozepmic and explain the benefits and potential risks associated with it. They will also explain how to administer the weekly injection.
