Mounjaro Bedford & GLP-1 Injections in Kempston: What You Need to Know

Why GLP-1 Treatments Are Gaining Ground

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes. Over recent years, they have proven remarkably effective for weight loss when used under medical supervision.

  • In the UK, multiple GLP-1 medicines are prescription only. 

  • Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has attracted attention due to its dual action (GLP-1 + GIP), helping reduce appetite and support metabolic regulation. 

  • NICE recently recommended tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for obesity treatment in people meeting certain BMI and comorbidity criteria. 

Who Can Use Mounjaro & How It Works

Eligibility & Criteria

  • Typically, adults with BMI ≥ 30, or BMI ≥ 27 with an obesity-related comorbidity, may be considered. 

  • On the NHS, stricter criteria and regional availability apply. 

Mechanism & Benefits

  • Mounjaro slows gastric emptying, suppresses hunger, and supports insulin release, making you feel full for longer. 

  • In clinical settings, some patients have experienced weight loss of up to ~22.5% over extended treatment when combined with diet and lifestyle changes. 

Potential Side Effects & Considerations

As with any medication, GLP-1 treatments carry possible side effects and risks:

  • Common side effects include nausea, digestive upset, and changes in bowel habits. 

  • Rare but serious risks (though uncommon) should be monitored.

  • Because GLP-1s alter how your body processes food, users must remain alert to signs of problems and seek medical advice if any concerning symptoms occur.

Private GLP-1 prescribing is available in regions where NHS access is limited or criteria are stricter.
