A New Approach to Weight Loss in Southall & Hillingdon

Wegovy (semaglutide) FlexTouch Pen offers a scientifically backed solution for significant and sustainable weight loss for individuals struggling with weight management.

At Puri Pharmacy, we provide Wegovy FlexTouch Pen weight loss injections to patients in Southall and Hillingdon, offering a structured and medically supported approach to weight loss.

What is a Wegovy FlexTouch Pen?

Wegovy is a UK-approved weight loss medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps control appetite, reduce cravings, and promote long-term weight loss.

Unlike Ozempic, which was initially developed for diabetes, Wegovy is specifically designed for weight loss.

How Does Wegovy FlexTouch Pen Work?

Wegovy mimics the GLP-1 hormone, assisting weight loss by:

  • Suppressing appetite to help control food intake
  • Delaying stomach emptying to prolong fullness and prevent overeating
  • Regulating blood sugar levels to reduce cravings

When combined with healthy lifestyle changes, Wegovy can be an effective tool for achieving and maintaining weight loss.

How Effective is the Wegovy FlexTouch Pen?

In clinical studies, participants using Wegovy lost between 15 to 20 per cent of their body weight over 68 weeks, alongside lifestyle modifications.

At Puri Pharmacy, we have witnessed life-changing results among our patients using Wegovy.

How is Wegovy FlexTouch Pen Administered?

Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that is self-administered at home.

Wegovy should be stored in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze it, and keep it in the original packaging to protect it from light.

The recommended starting dose of Wegovy is 0.25 mg once weekly for four weeks, after which the dose is gradually increased.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, as long as it is within five days. If more than five days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.

Yes, Wegovy is available in the UK through a prescription. It is available to purchase in Puri Pharmacy with a prescription written by our Independent Prescribing Pharmacist.

Wegovy contains a higher dose of semaglutide than Ozempic, which may lead to faster weight loss.

Weight loss varies by individual, but some users may lose 5-10% of their body weight within a few months.

On average, Mounjaro patients can expect the following weight loss:

  • 6% of body weight after 2 months
  • 9% of body weight after 3 months
  • 11% of body weight after 4 months
  • Around 21% of body weight by the 18-month mark

However, long-term success depends on incorporating healthier habits into your lifestyle to maintain weight loss.

Alcohol doesn’t have a known direct interaction with Mounjaro, but caution is advised. Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or spikes, especially for those with diabetes. Since Mounjaro manages blood sugar and appetite, drinking alcohol may interfere with its effectiveness. To stay safe, consider limiting or avoiding alcohol during treatment.

It’s best to avoid diet soda or other fizzy drinks while using Mounjaro. They can cause bloating and stomach pain, worsening the medication’s side effects.

While diet sodas are sugar-free and low in calories, they contain artificial sweeteners that aren’t recommended with Mounjaro. Instead, use water or unsweetened tea to stay hydrated and minimize side effects.

  • Wegovy (semaglutide): Approved for weight loss; reduces hunger by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone. It can lead to up to 15% weight loss over 68 weeks.
  • Ozempic (semaglutide): Approved for type 2 diabetes; lowers blood sugar and has secondary weight loss benefits.
