Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic)
The geeky bit 🤓
Semaglutide mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a major role in appetite regulation, metabolic balance and blood sugar control. In simple terms:
You feel full sooner
Cravings reduce
Hunger becomes quieter and easier to manage
Blood sugar rises more gently after meals
The “reward drive” around food settles
This creates the conditions for steady, sustainable weight loss — not the dramatic peaks and crashes you see with restrictive diets.
The STEP clinical programme (the large global trials that assessed semaglutide for weight management) demonstrated three key things:
1. It consistently reduces body weight
2. It improves metabolic health
This is why semaglutide is considered not just a weight-loss treatment, but a cardiometabolic therapy.
3. It supports long-term outcomes

Prices start from £70
As a clinical pharmacist with a specialist interest in weight management, my focus is safe, sustainable results — not quick fixes.
If you are eligible, your plan may include prescription weight-loss medication (such as semaglutide) alongside personalised nutrition, activity guidance, and behaviour-change support. But the medication is only one tool.
This is not “just selling the pen”
You are enrolling in a clinically supervised service + a pen designed to keep you safe and help you succeed. That means:
a proper eligibility assessment and medical review
clear expectations and goal-setting
structured follow-up to track progress, side effects, and adherence
medication optimisation (including interactions, suitability, and ongoing safety)
adjustment of your plan as your weight and health markers change
Why clinical follow-up matters
Prescription weight-loss treatments can be highly effective, but they require the right patient selection, education, monitoring, and review. Regular follow-up helps ensure you are getting benefit, managing side effects, and staying on track — and it allows us to stop or change course if it’s not right for you.
