Mounjaro vs. Other Weight Loss Treatments – What’s Best for You?
Weight loss injections belong to a class of medications known as GLP-1 agonists, which help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite, leading to sustainable, long-term weight loss.
Mounjaro stands out due to its dual-action approach, which not only reduces hunger but also improves insulin sensitivity, making it more effective for both weight loss and metabolic health.
Maximise Your Weight Loss with Mounjaro
Backed by trusted weight loss doctors and medical professionals, Mounjaro is a clinically proven solution that targets both appetite suppression and insulin regulation—offering faster and more effective weight loss compared to other treatments like Ozempic and Wegovy. This dual-action approach not only helps you curb cravings and control food intake but also optimises fat burning, leading to sustainable weight loss and long-term health benefits.
If you’ve struggled with managing your weight, controlling hunger, or maintaining energy levels, Mounjaro can help. Many patients experience increased energy, reduced cravings, and an overall improvement in well-being as they progress through their weight loss journey.
At Blackpool Express Chemist, we offer full support throughout your treatment, ensuring you achieve your weight loss goals safely and effectively. From personalised treatment plans to ongoing lifestyle guidance, we are here to help you experience a healthier, leaner body while improving confidence and overall wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Weight Loss Injections Hormones?
No, weight loss injections are not hormones. They are GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 produced in the gut. This hormone helps regulate hunger, digestion, and blood sugar levels, leading to reduced appetite and improved metabolism.
Because these medications imitate a natural process in the body, they are well-tolerated and work in harmony with your existing metabolic functions.
Do Weight Loss Injections Build Up in the Body?
No, weight loss injections do not accumulate in the body. They are metabolised naturally and eliminated through urine and waste. However, they work gradually, and full effects take time to develop. This is why dosage is increased progressively, allowing the body to adjust.
How Long Do Weight Loss Injections Take to Work?
Results vary, but most patients notice reduced appetite and portion sizes within the first 1–2 weeks. However, significant weight loss usually becomes visible after 4-8 weeks. Clinical trials show:
- Saxenda users lost an average of 5-10% of their body weight within 3 months.
- Wegovy and Mounjaro users lost up to 15-23% of their body weight over 12 months.
Consistency with medication, diet, and exercise helps maximise results.
How to Get Weight Loss Injections Safely?
To ensure you receive genuine, MHRA-approved medications, only obtain weight loss injections from:
- Registered pharmacies like Blackpool Express Chemist.
- Reputable online pharmacies with UK prescriber approval.
- Clinics with qualified healthcare professionals.
Avoid purchasing from unregulated online sources, as counterfeit medications may be ineffective or dangerous.
Can You Drink Alcohol While Using Weight Loss Injections?
Alcohol is not strictly prohibited, but it can affect weight loss progress and cause unwanted side effects. Since weight loss injections regulate blood sugar levels, drinking alcohol—especially on an empty stomach—may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), leading to dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.
Additionally, alcohol adds empty calories, which may counteract weight loss efforts. If drinking, it’s best to do so in moderation and alongside food to minimise side effects.
Do Weight Loss Injections Need Refrigeration?
Yes, weight loss injections should be stored in the fridge (2°C–8°C) before first use. However:
- Once opened, Saxenda can be stored at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to 30 days.
- Wegovy and Mounjaro must remain refrigerated, though Wegovy can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days if needed.
- Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines and avoid freezing the medication.
Where to Inject Weight Loss Injections?
The best injection sites include:
- Stomach (abdomen) – At least two inches away from the belly button.
- Thighs – Front or outer thigh, avoiding the inner area.
- Upper arms – The fleshy part of the back of the arm.
It’s important to rotate injection sites to prevent skin irritation or lumps forming under the skin.
What to Do If a Dose Is Missed?
If you miss a daily dose (Saxenda), take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose—in that case, skip the missed dose and continue as normal.
If you miss a weekly dose (Wegovy or Mounjaro):
- If it has been less than 4 days, take the dose as soon as possible.
- If it has been more than 4 days, skip the missed dose and continue with your next scheduled injection.
- Do not take double doses to make up for a missed one.
How to Use Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections come in pre-filled pens and are self-administered once daily (Saxenda) or once weekly (Wegovy & Mounjaro). To use them:
- Prepare the pen – Remove it from the fridge (if required) and attach a new needle.
- Set the correct dose – Adjust the dial on the pen to the prescribed amount.
- Choose an injection site – The best areas include the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
- Inject at a 90-degree angle – Press the needle into the skin, push the injection button, and hold for 5-10 seconds before removing it.
- Dispose of the needle safely – Use a sharps bin for disposal.
Your pharmacist will demonstrate how to inject correctly to ensure safe and effective administration.
Can You Get Weight Loss Injections on the NHS?
Currently, Saxenda and Wegovy are available on the NHS for patients who meet specific eligibility criteria. The NHS only prescribes weight loss injections for:
- Patients with a BMI of 35 or above and a weight-related health condition (such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure).
- In some cases, patients with a BMI between 30 and 35 may be considered if they have severe health risks due to obesity.
Mounjaro is not yet available on the NHS for weight loss, though it is available privately. Private prescriptions allow broader access to treatment for individuals who do not qualify under NHS criteria.
