Private Weight Loss Injections in Birmingham

Home > Private Weight Loss Injections in Birmingham

Weight loss journeys are deeply personal, and individuals often navigate diverse approaches in their quest for a healthier lifestyle. For many, the emotional aspect of weight loss poses a significant challenge. The societal pressure to conform to certain body standards can trigger feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Some may grapple with emotional eating as a coping mechanism, further complicating their efforts. And, of course, all of this is heightened further when you suffer from an underlying health condition.

We understand the challenges people face in their seemingly endless battle to lose weight. After exhausting all other avenues, and struggling with an overweight or obese BMI, it might be time to consider an alternative treatment plan, such as weight loss injections.

Our Prescribed Weight Loss Injections

At Midland Health, we offer two prescription-only weight loss medications: Wegovy and Mounjaro.

  • Wegovy: This semaglutide-containing medicine was initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has since been investigated for its additional benefits in promoting weight loss. Wegovy is self-injected once a week and is recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher if experiencing weight-related health issues.
  • Mounjaro: This medication contains tirzepatide, which also supports weight loss. Like Wegovy, Mounjaro is self-injected once a week and is used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular physical activity to aid weight management.

What are Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections are medications or substances aimed at promoting weight loss. They may include appetite suppressants, metabolism enhancers, or fat absorption inhibitors. These injections should be used as part of a comprehensive weight management programme, combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Is This Treatment Right for Me?

Both Wegovy and Mounjaro are designed to support weight loss and weight management when used alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity. These treatments are specifically recommended for adults who meet the following criteria:

  • Individuals with obesity (BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater).
  • Those with a BMI of at least 27 kg/m² but less than 30 kg/m² (overweight), and who are also experiencing weight-related health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or other related conditions.

Our team of specialist GPs will assess each case individually.

Please note that these treatments are not suitable for individuals under the age of 18, or those with a personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Battling Weight Loss

The ups and downs of the weight loss process, coupled with societal expectations and internalised perceptions of self-worth, contribute to emotional struggles that can become formidable hurdles. Recognising and addressing these emotional challenges is integral to fostering a sustainable and positive approach to weight loss—one that embraces self-compassion, resilience, and a holistic understanding of health.

The Benefits of Weight Loss Injections

Our weight loss injections may offer several potential benefits:

  • Effective Weight Loss
  • Appetite Suppression
  • Metabolic Benefits
  • Support for Lifestyle Changes
  • Potential Improvement in Obesity-Related Conditions

How Often is the Injection Needed?

During the 6-month treatment plan, you will receive a weekly dose of your injection, a prescription only medicine, which is injected subcutaneously into the abdomen (stomach, thigh or upper arm. This medicine is not administered intramuscularly or intravenously. It is also recommended to receive each dose at the same time of day and on the same day each week. 

What Does the Weight Loss Injection Contain?

At Midland Health, we offer prescription weight loss medications, including Wegovy and Mounjaro.

Wegovy contains semaglutide, a medication from the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists class. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, semaglutide mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon production. This medication not only helps manage blood sugar but has also been shown to promote weight loss when used weekly in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise.

Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, another GLP-1 receptor agonist. Like semaglutide, tirzepatide works by enhancing insulin secretion and regulating blood sugar levels, and it has also demonstrated effectiveness in supporting weight loss.

Both Wegovy and Mounjaro are administered as weekly subcutaneous injections and are prescribed to support weight management for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions.

Are There Side Effects?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are prescription-only medications with potential serious side effects, including thyroid tumours and certain cancers. Symptoms such as neck swelling, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath require immediate medical attention. These medications should be avoided if there’s a personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Inform your healthcare provider of any existing conditions like pancreatic or kidney issues, type 2 diabetes with retinopathy, or mental health concerns. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Serious side effects can involve pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, low blood sugar, kidney issues, vision changes, or depression.

FAQ

Our weight loss injections, including both Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), can be effective for individuals who are obese or overweight. Specifically, these treatments are suitable for those with a BMI of 27 or higher. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with obesity-related conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, as these conditions may improve with weight loss.

On the day of your appointment, you will be seen by one of our GP consultants to discuss your medical history and suitability for this treatment. If the GP is in agreement, you will also receive your first 4 weeks supply of the injections to take away or have the first dose administered with our weight loss GPs in clinic to show you how to do it.

Both Wegovy (Semaglutide) and Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) weight loss injections are designed to be used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to support weight loss. It is important to familiarise yourself with the safety information for each medication before starting treatment.

You will need a consultation every 4 weeks to get a new 4 weeks supply of the injections. This consultation can be conducted online or face to face with our weight loss specialist clinicians.

If you have an extremely high BMI of over 30, or even if you are around 27-30, it might be worth considering this alternative weight loss treatment to help lose some weight. The injections could help to control your appetite and improve your metabolic health, all the while losing weight. However, you will need to consider this alongside the safety advice and side effects.

Yes, we offer three tiers of packages for this 6-month treatment plan. For each, it is possible to part pay, with the remaining fee payable in monthly instalments. 

  • Wegovy 0.25mg 4 week supply: £100
  • Wegovy 0.5mg 4 week supply: £100
  • Wegovy 1mg 4 week supply : £100 
  • Wegovy 1.7mg 4 week supply: £160
  • Wegovy 2.4mg 4 week supply: £230
  • Mounjaro 2.5mg/5mg: RRP £155
  • Mounjaro 7.5mg/10mg: RRP £165
  • Mounjaro 12.5mg/15mg:  RRP  £185
