Weight loss

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Wegovy prescriptions have increased by 300% in the past year, yet many people struggle to access this breakthrough weight loss treatment through traditional NHS routes. At Mayfield Clinic Altrincham, we provide fast, private access to Wegovy and other weight management medications through our experienced GP team.

What is Wegovy and How Does It Work?

Wegovy contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient found in Ozempic and Mounjaro. This medication works by mimicking hormones that regulate blood sugar and slow gastric emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer periods. Clinical trials demonstrate average weight loss of 10-15% of body weight when combined with lifestyle modifications.
