What weight loss injections are
The injections prescribed in the UK for weight management belong to a class of medicines that mimic the body's own appetite-regulating hormones — most notably GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). Taken once a week with a pre-filled pen, they reduce appetite and help you feel fuller for longer, alongside changes to diet and activity.
They are prescription-only medicines. Eligibility is based on your BMI, health history and goals, and is always decided by a clinician — not a form.
The treatments available at Curate
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) — a once-weekly injection whose active ingredient mimics two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. Doses step from 2.5mg to 15mg; from £159 per month.
Wegovy (semaglutide) — a once-weekly GLP-1 injection. Doses step from 0.25mg to 2.4mg; from £103 per month.
Prefer not to inject? The Wegovy Pill brings the same GLP-1 approach to a daily tablet.

- A named UK clinician reviews your assessment, usually within 48 hours.
- If treatment is right for you, it's dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly.
- Clinical reviews are built into your plan — dose changes, side-effect support and pausing or stopping all go through your clinician.
You pay per order, not by subscription, and you're refunded in full if a clinician decides treatment isn't right for you.

Questions
Weight loss injections, answered.
Who is eligible for weight loss injections?
Eligibility typically starts from a BMI of 30, or 27 with a weight-related health condition, but the final decision always sits with a clinician who reviews your full assessment — measurements, health history, medications and goals.
How much do weight loss injections cost in the UK?
At Curate, Wegovy starts from £103 per month and Mounjaro from £159 per month, with the price rising as your dose steps up. Each order is a one-off payment — no subscription — and the consultation, clinical reviews and delivery are included.
Are weight loss injections safe?
They are MHRA-licensed medicines with well-documented profiles, prescribed only after a clinical assessment. No medicine is risk-free: the common side effects are gastrointestinal, most noticeable in the early weeks (SmPC, 2025), and your clinician monitors you throughout treatment.
Do I need to inject myself?
Yes, but the pens are designed for self-injection at home with a very fine needle, and most patients find it far easier than expected. You'll get clear instructions, and your care team is there if you have questions.
What happens when I stop?
Stopping is a clinical decision made with your clinician, usually with a plan for maintaining the habits built during treatment. Appetite typically returns as the medicine leaves your system, which is why the wrap-around care matters as much as the injection.

What to eat on the Wegovy pill
The tablet adds a food-timing rule no injection has, and a smaller appetite raises the stakes on what fills it. A practical eating guide for oral semaglutide.

Can you take the Wegovy pill at night?
Mornings do not suit everyone. Whether night-time dosing of oral semaglutide can work, what the absorption rules demand, and how shift workers can manage.
