We believe healthcare should be personalized to you. Complete a short quiz about your lifestyle, medical history, and any other details you’d like to share with our prescribing team. This helps us determine your eligibility for Essentials Pharmacy's Weight Reset Programme. Your data is kept secure under GDPR, and Essentials Pharmacy is certified by the International Security Organisation (ISO27001).
Once your quiz is submitted, you’ll be prompted to pay to reserve your spot. If approved and you choose to continue, this payment covers the first month’s cost. If you’re found ineligible or change your mind, you’ll receive a full refund within 1-2 business days.
After completing the quiz, one of our GPhC-registered prescribers will assess your eligibility. They may reach out for additional information, and you’ll upload any necessary images for verification.
During a consultation with your prescriber, you can ask questions about the program, medication, or anything else on your mind. Your prescriber will then confirm a treatment plan, which you’ll review and accept if you’re ready to move forward. You can adjust your plan anytime by scheduling a free consultation.
Your personalized treatment plan is express-shipped to your home with step-by-step instructions for starting.
Throughout your Essentials Pharmacy journey, different team members will check in regularly to ensure you’re comfortable and staying on track.
They’ll assist you with anything from managing side effects and calculating your protein target, to adjusting your dosage schedule. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
Regardless of whether you're prescribed Wegovy or Mounjaro, you will start with the lowest dose to allow your body time to adapt and minimize side effects.
If you’ve used the medication before or are still using it, you may start at a higher dose.
During your consultation, your prescriber will create a treatment plan with a default titration schedule. For example:
- Weeks 1-4: 0.25mg of Wegovy
- Weeks 5-8: 0.5mg of Wegovy
- Weeks 9+: 1mg of Wegovy
You can adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you experience side effects, you can stay on a lower dose. If weight loss slows, you can increase your dosage. You can always book a free consultation with your Essentials Pharmacy prescriber to modify your plan.
How much weight can I expect to lose with Essentials Pharmacy?
During clinical trials, patients on Mounjaro achieved an average weight loss of 20.9% after 72 weeks.
However, it’s important to remember that weight loss results vary from person to person. The medication affects each body differently, and individual results can depend on several factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and adherence to the treatment plan.
Your prescriber will help guide you through the process of choosing the medication that best suits your goals. If you have a preference for a particular medication, your prescriber will take that into consideration when making their clinical recommendation. If you don’t have a preference, they will assist you in selecting the right medication based on your medical history, weight loss targets, and budget.
While there are no direct head-to-head clinical trials comparing GLP-1/GIP treatment with GLP-1-only treatment, studies show that GLP-1/GIP patients achieved 20.9% weight loss at 72 weeks compared to 14.9% weight loss for GLP-1 patients over 68 weeks.
The length of time you’ll need to take the medication will depend on your individual goals and progress. Your prescriber will discuss your personal weight loss target, medical history, and budget to determine the best plan for you. They will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring the medication continues to work effectively for you.
In addition to weight loss, there may be other health benefits associated with GLP-1/GIP treatments, including improved blood sugar regulation, reduced appetite, and better overall metabolic health. Your prescriber will discuss these potential benefits with you during your consultation and help tailor the treatment plan to meet both your weight loss and overall health needs.
How do I know if I’m eligible for the medication?
Your eligibility for the Essentials Pharmacy Weight Reset Programme will be determined during an initial consultation with Essentials Pharmacy prescriber. After reviewing your responses from the initial quiz, they may ask follow-up questions to ensure your medical history and lifestyle are a good fit for the program. Based on this information, your prescriber will make a recommendation about the appropriate medication and dosage schedule for you.
Please note that the Weight Reset Programme is not suitable for individuals who are currently pregnant or trying to conceive.
To begin the process, you’ll need to complete the initial quiz and pay for the first month of the program to secure your spot. If you are deemed ineligible during your consultation, you will receive a full refund within 1-2 business days.
This is a valid concern, and we understand how important it is to consider your overall health before starting any new treatment. That's why we ask for your complete medical history as part of the quiz. Your prescriber will review your health information and help determine if the Weight Reset Programme is safe for you, addressing any specific risks or concerns.
It’s completely understandable to be cautious about interactions with your current medications. During the initial quiz, you’ll have the opportunity to list any medications you're currently taking. Based on this information, your prescriber will assess whether it’s safe for you to start the programme, and they’ll provide advice on any possible risks or interactions you should be aware of before proceeding.

Like any medication, Mounjaro and Wegovy may cause side effects as your body adjusts to the treatment. While many people experience only mild symptoms, it’s important to know what to expect:
Digestive Upset: The most common side effects are mild nausea, stomach discomfort, or diarrhea, especially when starting treatment. These symptoms often improve over time as your body adapts.
Decreased Appetite: Since these medications work to reduce hunger, some people may find they’re eating less than usual. This effect is intended but should be monitored to ensure balanced nutrition.
Potential for Low Blood Sugar (if used with other diabetes medications): For those taking insulin or certain other diabetes medications, blood sugar levels could dip too low. Regular monitoring is key, and adjustments can be made with your healthcare provider.
While side effects are generally manageable and temporary, we work closely with patients to ensure a comfortable experience and adjust treatment as needed
