Struggling with weight management or type 2 diabetes? Mounjaro (tirzepatide) represents a breakthrough in treatment options. This dual-action medication targets both weight loss and blood sugar control, offering hope for patients who haven't found success with traditional approaches.
Getting Mounjaro in Hove is straightforward when you know the right pathway. At Mayfield Clinic, our private GP prescription process ensures you receive personalised care whilst accessing this innovative treatment quickly and safely.
Mounjaro works by mimicking hormones that regulate blood sugar and appetite. For weight loss, clinical trials show patients losing an average of 15-20% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes. The medication also demonstrates remarkable efficacy in managing type 2 diabetes, often reducing HbA1c levels significantly.
Unlike some weight loss medications, Mounjaro addresses multiple pathways simultaneously. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and improves insulin sensitivity - making it particularly effective for patients with both weight management and diabetes concerns.
The process begins with booking a comprehensive consultation at our Hove practice. During this appointment, your private GP will:
Conduct a thorough medical assessment, reviewing your weight history, current medications, and underlying health conditions. Blood tests form a crucial part of this evaluation, checking kidney function, liver enzymes, and diabetic markers where relevant.
Your GP will discuss realistic expectations, potential side effects, and create a personalised treatment plan. This isn't simply about prescribing medication - it's about ensuring Mounjaro fits appropriately within your overall health strategy.
"Every patient's journey with Mounjaro is unique. We take time to understand individual circumstances, ensuring the treatment aligns with personal health goals and medical history."
Not everyone qualifies for Mounjaro prescription. Generally, candidates include adults with:
BMI of 30 or above, or BMI of 27 with weight-related health complications such as high blood pressure or sleep apnoea. For diabetes management, patients typically have inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes despite other treatments.
Certain medical conditions may exclude Mounjaro use. These include previous pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy. Your Hove-based GP will carefully evaluate these factors during consultation.
Mounjaro administration involves weekly self-injections using a pre-filled pen. Don't worry - the process is simpler than it sounds. Your GP will demonstrate proper injection technique during your initial consultation, ensuring you feel confident managing treatment at home.
Treatment typically begins with a low dose, gradually increasing over several weeks. This approach minimises side effects whilst allowing your body to adjust. Most patients experience mild nausea initially, which usually subsides within the first month.
Regular follow-up appointments at our Hove clinic monitor progress, adjust dosages, and address any concerns. These monthly check-ins are essential for optimising treatment outcomes and maintaining safety.
Private Mounjaro prescription costs vary depending on dosage and treatment duration. At Mayfield Clinic Hove, we provide transparent pricing during your initial consultation, including ongoing medication costs and follow-up appointment fees.
Many patients find the investment worthwhile considering the comprehensive support provided. Unlike online prescription services, our approach includes ongoing medical supervision, lifestyle guidance, and access to our multi-disciplinary team when needed.
Medication alone rarely provides optimal results. Successful Mounjaro treatment requires commitment to dietary modifications and regular physical activity. Our Hove team can connect you with nutrition specialists and exercise therapists who understand weight management challenges.
Many patients discover that Mounjaro makes lifestyle changes feel more manageable. Reduced appetite and improved blood sugar control often translate to increased energy levels and better motivation for healthy habits.

Costs vary depending on dosage and treatment duration, but we'll outline all expenses upfront so there are no surprises.
For safety and effectiveness, Mounjaro requires in-person consultation at our Hove practice. This allows your GP to conduct proper medical assessment, demonstrate injection technique, and perform necessary blood tests. While you can book online, the consultation and prescription process must be completed face-to-face to ensure appropriate care.
