What is Medical weight management?
Medical weight management combines clinical assessment, nutrition and activity support, monitoring and, where appropriate, prescription treatment. Medicine is not suitable for everyone and should only be supplied after an authorised prescriber has assessed benefits, contraindications, interactions and follow-up needs.
What should you consider before treatment?
Prescription options may include medicines such as tirzepatide (Mounjaro) or semaglutide (Wegovy), but UK law prohibits advertising prescription-only medicines to the public. This page promotes an assessment service, not a named medicine. A clinician decides whether any medicine is appropriate; prescribing is never guaranteed.
Risks and recovery
Side effects and warnings differ by treatment. GLP-1 medicines can cause gastrointestinal effects and may not be suitable with some conditions, medicines, pregnancy plans or eating-disorder histories. Obtain medicine only from a regulated pharmacy against a valid prescription, and make sure monitoring and a route for urgent advice are included.
Questions to ask at a consultation
- Who performs the clinical assessment and ongoing prescribing reviews?
- How are identity, medical history and current medicines verified?
- What support is included beyond a prescription?
- What happens if side effects occur or treatment is stopped?
How much do private weight loss programmes cost in Manchester?
