Considering a weight loss jab like Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Ozempic here in Kempston? While there’s no denying their effectiveness in helping people lose weight, many patients want to know: What are the side effects really like—and how do they compare in real life?
If you're feeling unsure about which option to start with, you're not alone. At 121 Clinic, we work with clients across Kempston and Bedfordshire who are navigating this same decision every day. Wondering what options is suitable for them based on the side effects of each medication.

π¬ Real Experiences from People in Kempston
Here’s what local patients have shared with us:
π£ “I started my weight loss journey with weight loss injections and the first week was rough—some nausea and constipation—but after that, it was smooth sailing. I've lost 12kg already.”
π£ “I tried my first weight loss injection few months ago, but hit a plateau after 3 months. When my doctor changed me to another jab, it felt stronger, and I actually feel full for the first time in years. I am losing weight and looking forward to achieving my goal soon.”
π£ “My weight loss injection worked but made me feel bloated every time I increased the dose. Still, I’ve lost two dress sizes!”
π Are These Injections Safe?
Yes, all three are NHS- and MHRA-approved and widely used under supervision. But like all medications, they do carry risks:
-
Nausea and digestive issues
-
Pancreatitis (rare)
-
Gallbladder problems
-
Fatigue and dizziness
-
Thyroid concerns (in very rare cases)
That's why it's essential to use them under the care of a healthcare professional, especially if you're dealing with other conditions like prediabetes, diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, fertility, perimenopause, menopause or HRT.
Acute pancreatitis: They should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
