Mounjaro weight loss injection
At QRPMS, we are pleased to offer Mounjaro – a revolutionary new weight loss treatment designed to help you manage your appetite, control portion sizes, and support sustainable weight loss. Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection that you administer yourself in the comfort of your own home, offering a simple and effective addition to your weight loss journey.
The active ingredient in Mounjaro is Tirzepatide, a medication that works by mimicking the action of a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a key role in regulating hunger and blood sugar levels. By enhancing the effects of GLP-1, Tirzepatide helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and supports more mindful eating habits — making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and lose weight over time.
Treatment begins with a low starting dose of 2.5mg, which is gradually increased under clinical supervision as your body adapts to the medication. Mounjaro was licensed for use in the UK in November 2023 and is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who have a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnoea.
Our experienced clinicians will guide you through every step of the process, from initial assessment to ongoing monitoring, ensuring that your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. Common side effects and detailed medical information can be found here in the full patient information leaflet, which we recommend all patients review before starting treatment.

Consultations - What to Expect
Face-to-Face Appointments
Our in-person clinics are held at QRPMS, situated at Queens Road Surgery and begin with a full assessment, including measurements of height, weight, BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure. We also review any current medications to identify if adjustments may be helpful for weight management. Together, we’ll explore lifestyle factors and any barriers to weight loss before setting realistic, personalised goals. If an injectable treatment is chosen, we’ll demonstrate how to use it during the appointment.
Virtual Appointments
Virtual clinics are conducted via Microsoft Teams for your convenience. At the start of your appointment, you’ll be asked to weigh yourself on camera so we can accurately record your current weight. The rest of the consultation mirrors our face-to-face appointments, including a review of medication, lifestyle, and goal setting, along with guidance on injectable treatments if applicable.
