Weight Loss Services
At The London General Practice, we offer medically supervised weight loss services designed to help you achieve sustainable results through personalised care.
Our Approach to Weight Loss
Our weight loss services combine evidence-based treatments with the latest advancements in medical science.
This holistic approach allows us to support you on multiple levels—from managing physical health to addressing lifestyle and behavioural factors.
The London General Practice offers various weight management solutions, including lifestyle modifications, nutritional counselling, exercise recommendations, and, when suitable, medical interventions such as weight loss injections.
Wegovy and Mounjaro weight loss pens represent an innovative option for patients seeking an effective way to support weight loss efforts. Wegovy and Mounjaro pens offer a new avenue for patients seeking weight loss support.
These pens work by influencing hormones related to appetite and blood sugar, helping reduce cravings, promote satiety, and support healthy metabolic function.
Administered with clinical oversight, Wegovy and Mounjaro pens can be a helpful addition to a well-rounded weight loss plan, providing a non-surgical option that complements lifestyle and dietary modifications.
The Program
Each weight loss injection program begins with a thorough assessment by one of our experienced doctors.
Safe Initiation and Ongoing Monitoring
If the assessment confirms you are a candidate, we initiate treatment and schedule a follow-up review four weeks later at the Practice to monitor your progress.
During this appointment, we assess any side effects and discuss your experience with the treatment, adjusting the dosage if necessary to optimise effectiveness and minimise discomfort.
Flexible Follow-Up Care
Our priority is your safety and comfort. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled on a monthly basis or as deemed appropriate by your doctor, depending on your individual progress.
While adjusting doses, you may experience side effects, which will be carefully monitored.
These regular reviews allow our doctors to closely oversee your journey, ensuring that your treatment remains effective, medically appropriate, and well-tolerated throughout.

Considerations & Side Effects
Our Doctor’s can prescribe W & M for weight loss.
The most common side effects of weight loss pens may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation. They tend to settle within a couple of weeks and most people tolerate it well.
Weight loss pens may cause serious side effects, including:
- Inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using weight loss pens and call your health care provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back.
- Changes in vision in people with diabetes. Tell your health care provider if you have changes in vision during treatment with weight loss pens
- Low blood sugar in people with diabetes (hypoglycaemia). Your risk for getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use weight loss pens with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include: dizziness or Iight-headedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, and feeling jittery.
- Kidney problems. In people who have kidney problems, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration), which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration.
- Serious allergic reactions. Stop using weight loss pens and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat; problems breathing or swallowing; severe rash or itching; fainting or feeling dizzy; or very rapid heartbeat.
- Gallbladder problems. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people who take weight loss pens. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get symptoms which may include: pain in your upper stomach (abdomen), fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or clay-coloured stools.
