Weight loss pens & Tablets
Wegovy Vs Mounjaro
Which weight loss treatment is right for you?
Mounjaro and Wegovy are two of the most popular prescription medications used to support weight loss and help maintain a healthier weight. Both are available as once-weekly injections, and eligible patients may also have the option of an oral weight loss tablet, depending on their individual circumstances and clinical suitability.
Although these treatments work in similar ways, there are important differences in their active ingredients, how they work within the body, and who they may be most suitable for. Understanding these differences can help you make an informed decision alongside your healthcare professional.
How do Mounjaro and Wegovy work?
Mounjaro and Wegovy belong to a group of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate appetite and food intake.
They work by mimicking hormones naturally produced by your body to help control hunger. These medications can:
- Send signals to your brain that you’ve eaten, helping you feel fuller sooner.
- Slow the rate at which your stomach empties, helping you stay fuller for longer.
- Reduce appetite and support healthier eating habits.
- Help regulate blood sugar levels, which may also reduce cravings and improve energy balance.
What are the differences between Mounjaro and Wegovy?
Active ingredient
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which works by activating both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. This dual action may provide greater appetite suppression and weight loss for some people.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, which works by activating the GLP-1 receptor to help control appetite, increase feelings of fullness and reduce calorie intake.
Both medications are effective prescription treatments for weight management, but your clinician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your medical history, weight loss goals and overall health.
Injectable pens or tablets – which is right for you?
In addition to once-weekly injectable pens, eligible patients may also have access to an oral weight loss tablet, depending on the medication prescribed and current UK licensing.
Some people prefer a weekly injection because it fits easily into their routine, while others may favour a daily tablet if they prefer to avoid injections. Both options can be effective when combined with a healthy diet, regular physical activity and ongoing clinical support.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, lifestyle and treatment preferences to help determine whether an injectable pen or an oral tablet is the most suitable option for you.
Weight Loss Treatments
Our prescription-only weight loss treatments are designed to support adults who are overweight or living with obesity. We offer both once-weekly injection pens and, where clinically appropriate, oral weight loss tablets, allowing you to choose the treatment that best suits your lifestyle.
The injectable pens are simple to use with a fine needle, while the tablets provide a convenient needle-free alternative. Both treatment options work by helping to reduce your appetite, making you feel fuller after smaller meals, helping you stay fuller for longer and reducing food cravings. When taken as prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, they can help you achieve significant and sustainable weight loss.
Your treatment plan will be tailored to you by one of our clinicians. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule and any dose escalation guidance provided, as this helps your body adjust to the medication while minimising potential side effects.
Wegovy® and Mounjaro® are licensed for weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. For eligible patients, Wegovy® is also available as a daily tablet, providing an alternative for those who would prefer not to use injections. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the benefits of each option and recommend the treatment most suitable for your individual needs.
