How it works
How Wegovy works
Wegovy contains semaglutide, which copies a natural gut hormone called GLP-1. It acts on the appetite centres in your brain and slows the rate at which your stomach empties, so you feel fuller for longer and find it easier to manage portion sizes.
Reduces appetite
Helps signal to your brain that you have had enough to eat, even with smaller portions.
Slows digestion
Food leaves the stomach more gradually, helping fullness last between meals.
Eases food cravings
Can lessen the urge to snack or think constantly about food.
Supports steady progress
Works best alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Wegovy may be right for you if
- You are an adult whose body mass index falls within the licensed weight management range
- You have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise but have struggled to see lasting results
- You live in or around Bletchley, Milton Keynes or nearby, and can attend regular in-person reviews with our pharmacist
- You are ready to combine treatment with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity
Not suitable if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
- You or a close family member have a history of certain thyroid cancers or a condition called MEN 2
- You have a history of pancreatitis
- You have an active eating disorder
This list is not exhaustive, and our pharmacist will review your full medical history during consultation to confirm Wegovy is safe and appropriate for you.
Side effects
Possible side effects, explained honestly
Most people tolerate Wegovy well, though side effects can occur, especially while your dose is being increased.
Common
nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, headache, tiredness
These often settle as your body adjusts, and eating smaller, simpler meals can help.
Less common
gallbladder problems, dizziness, taste changes, hair loss
Please tell us about these at your next review.
Seek help promptly
severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, allergic reaction, sudden vision changes
Call our pharmacy team straight away or contact 111 out of hours if any of these occur.
What is Wegovy and who is it for?
Wegovy is a prescription weight management injection containing semaglutide, available from Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley following a clinical consultation.
Wegovy is licensed for weight management in adults who meet certain weight and health criteria, used alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. It acts on the appetite centres in the brain, helping you feel fuller on smaller portions and reducing the urge to snack between meals.
It is not a general slimming aid, and suitability is assessed individually rather than assumed. Our pharmacist team looks at your weight history, general health and any current medicines before confirming whether Wegovy is appropriate for you.
We stock five dose strengths, moving from Wegovy 0.25 mg at £119.99 up to Wegovy 1.7 mg at £189, with Wegovy 2.4mg at £239.99 as the standard maintenance dose. Wegovy 0.5 mg is priced at £135 and Wegovy 1 mg at £139.99, and treatment is only supplied following a consultation confirming clinical suitability.
Bring a note of your current medicines and any recent weight or health records to your first appointment so we can assess suitability quickly.
Using Wegovy safely
Wegovy is injected once a week, and your prescriber will confirm the right starting point and any dose changes at each review.
Before you start, our pharmacist team reviews your medical history, current medicines and any allergies to check the treatment is clinically appropriate for you. This is especially important if you have a history of thyroid problems, pancreatitis or an eating disorder.
Doses begin low and are increased in gradual steps, from Wegovy 0.25 mg at £119.99 through to Wegovy 2.4mg at £239.99, with each increase confirmed at a face-to-face review rather than automatically applied.
Storing your pen correctly and following the injection technique shown by our pharmacist helps reduce the chance of irritation at the injection site and keeps the medicine effective.
Rotate your injection site each week between your abdomen, thigh or upper arm to help reduce irritation.
Eating well and lifestyle support
Wegovy is licensed for use alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, and it tends to work best when treated as part of that wider plan.
As appetite reduces, it becomes easier to manage portion sizes, but it still helps to focus on balanced, nutrient-rich meals rather than simply eating less of the same foods.
Smaller, simpler meals can be gentler on your stomach, particularly while your dose is being increased, and staying hydrated supports digestion.
Gradually increasing physical activity, even gentle walking, supports the weight loss process and helps maintain muscle as your weight changes.
Try eating slowly and stopping when comfortably full, rather than waiting until you feel completely finished.
Tracking your progress at reviews
Regular in-person reviews with the same pharmacist let us track your progress and check that each dose step remains right for you.
At each review we discuss how you're responding to treatment, any side effects you've noticed, and your progress towards your goals, before agreeing whether to continue at the same dose or move up.
We monitor progress across the full dose range, from Wegovy 0.25 mg at £119.99 through to the maintenance dose of Wegovy 2.4mg at £239.99, adjusting the pace to suit you rather than following a fixed schedule.
These reviews are also an opportunity to ask questions, flag any concerns, and discuss how your diet and activity levels are supporting your treatment.
Keep a simple note of how you're feeling between reviews, including any side effects, so nothing is forgotten on the day.
Coming off Wegovy
Stopping Wegovy is a decision made together with your prescriber, taking into account your goals, progress and any ongoing health needs.
Some patients choose to come off treatment once they've reached their goal weight, while others remain on a lower maintenance dose for longer term support, such as Wegovy 1.7 mg at £189 rather than the full 2.4mg dose.
Appetite may return towards previous levels after stopping, so it helps to have a plan in place for maintaining the eating and activity habits built up during treatment.
Your pharmacist remains available for advice and reviews even after treatment ends, should you wish to discuss maintaining your progress or restarting in the future.
Book a final review before stopping so we can discuss a plan for maintaining your results afterwards.
Deciding between treatments
Not sure whether Wegovy is the right fit?
Wegovy is one of several weight management injections we offer in Bletchley, alongside options such as Mounjaro, and it isn't automatically the best choice for everyone. During your consultation, our pharmacist will talk through your health, goals and preferences so you can choose the treatment that genuinely suits you, rather than being steered towards whichever is most convenient for us.
Good to know
FAQs
How quickly will I see results with Wegovy?
Weight loss with Wegovy tends to be gradual rather than immediate, as your dose is increased in stages over several weeks and your body adjusts. Many patients notice reduced appetite fairly early on, but visible weight changes usually build up over the following months. Your pharmacist will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation and review your progress at each visit.
Do I need a prescription to get Wegovy?
Yes. Wegovy is a prescription-only medicine, so it can only be supplied after a consultation with our pharmacist team at Kenmakos Medical to confirm it is clinically suitable for you. We assess your health history, current medicines and weight management goals before any prescription is issued, whether you visit us in Bletchley or book an online consultation from elsewhere in Milton Keynes.
Does the price change depending on the dose?
Yes, pricing varies by strength. Wegovy 0.25 mg is £119.99, 0.5 mg is £135, 1 mg is £139.99, 1.7 mg is £189, and 2.4 mg is £239.99. Your prescriber will guide you through which dose is appropriate at each stage of treatment, and you will always know the cost before you commit to your next supply.
What support is included with treatment?
Every patient at Kenmakos Medical receives an initial consultation to check suitability, guidance on injection technique and storage, and ongoing reviews with our pharmacist team as your dose changes. We're on hand between appointments if you have questions about side effects or how you're getting on, whether you're local to Bletchley or travelling in from elsewhere in Milton Keynes.
Can I switch to Wegovy from another weight loss treatment?
It's possible to switch between treatments such as Wegovy and other GLP-1 medicines, but this should always be discussed with our pharmacist first. We'll review your current treatment, how you've responded to it, and your overall health before advising on whether switching is appropriate and how best to do it safely.
What if Wegovy isn't the right fit for me?
Wegovy isn't automatically suitable for everyone, and our pharmacist will be honest with you if another option might serve you better. Suitability depends on factors like your weight history, medical background and any current medicines. If Wegovy isn't right, we can talk through other options available at Kenmakos Medical, subject to a further consultation and clinical assessment.
