Programme London

No. You can self-refer directly to our programme. We'll communicate with your NHS GP to keep them informed of your treatment.

There's no fixed duration. Some patients use it for 12–18 months to reach a goal weight and then focus on maintenance, while others continue longer-term under medical review. Your weight loss consultant will discuss a realistic timeline and exit strategy with you from the outset, rather than leaving you on indefinite treatment without a plan.

Yes! We often take over care from Boots or online pharmacies. We'll review your history, order baseline blood work, and continue your journey with proper supervision.

This is a common and expected pattern once patients reach the medication's biological limit, usually after 12–18 months. Depending on your goals, options include maintaining your current weight loss, or moving to a procedure such as ESG, gastric sleeve, or gastric bypass for further results.

Yes! Many patients do video consultations. Initial consultation can be video. Monthly check-ins can be video.

Online pharmacies provide medication only (~£200/month). GV Clinic London provides comprehensive medical supervision, dose optimisation, side effect management, and a clear pathway to achieve weight loss goals beyond just prescription.

Anyone with BMI above 30 or 28 with co-morbidities, Type 2 diabetes patients, people with complex medical history, those who've failed diets repeatedly, anyone considering surgery but wanting to try medication first, or anyone who wants expert support and monitoring rather than medication alone.

It means every stage of your treatment: from your initial eligibility assessment to prescribing, dose increases, and monitoring for side effects — is overseen by a qualified weight loss consultant, not an automated online questionnaire. At The GV Clinic, this includes a full medical history review, screening for contraindications, and scheduled follow-ups throughout your treatment.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is generally suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27–29.9 with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. It is not suitable if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy. A full assessment during your consultation confirms whether it's right for you.

Treatment starts at a low dose and is increased gradually. The dosage is typically reviewed every four weeks — up to a maximum of 15mg weekly, based on how you respond and tolerate the medication. Dose changes are reviewed and confirmed by your prescribing consultant at each follow-up, not self-adjusted.

With regular injections combined with diet and lifestyle changes, patients can lose approximately 15–20% of their total body weight over 12–18 months. Individual results vary, and weight loss typically slows or plateaus over time — a pattern our team monitors closely and can help you plan around.

The only difference is usually the cst of the consultation Unlike unsupervised online-pharmacy routes, our pricing includes clinical consultations, monitoring, and direct access to your prescribing doctor throughout treatment.

Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine that should only be started after a proper clinical assessment. Skipping medical supervision means contraindications, correct dosage and side effects may not be properly checked or managed. Doctor-led treatment, like the programme at The GV Clinic, ensures your prescription is appropriate for your health profile and that you're supported if problems arise.
