Frequently Asked Questions

VIEW OUR FULL FAQS

How do medications like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Ozempic work for weight loss?

Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), and Ozempic (semaglutide) are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This can lead to reduced appetite, increased feelings of fullness, and slower stomach emptying, ultimately helping you eat less and lose weight. These are typically prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

What is Orlistat and how does it aid weight loss?

Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor that works in your digestive system to block about a third of the fat you eat from being digested. This undigested fat is then passed out of your body in your stools. Orlistat is typically used in conjunction with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet and exercise program.

Are these medications suitable for everyone?

No, these medications are not suitable for everyone. Eligibility depends on various factors, including your BMI, medical history, existing health conditions, and current medications. Our healthcare professionals will conduct a comprehensive online consultation to determine if a specific treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

How long will I need to take the medication?

The duration of treatment varies for each individual and depends on your progress, tolerability to the medication, and overall health goals. This will be discussed and reviewed regularly by our healthcare professionals as part of your treatment plan.
