The demand for Wegovy has surged by over 300% in the past year, with many patients seeking this breakthrough weight loss treatment. Yet navigating the process of obtaining a Wegovy prescription can feel overwhelming.
If you're based in Sevenoaks and considering Wegovy for weight management, understanding the proper pathway to access this medication is crucial for both safety and effectiveness.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient found in Ozempic, but specifically formulated and licensed for weight management. This GLP-1 receptor agonist works by slowing gastric emptying, reducing appetite, and helping regulate blood sugar levels.
The medication has shown remarkable results in clinical trials, with participants losing an average of 15% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle modifications.
Getting Wegovy requires a thorough assessment with a qualified private GP. At Mayfield Clinic in Sevenoaks, our experienced practitioners conduct comprehensive evaluations to determine if Wegovy is suitable for your individual circumstances.
Your consultation will include:
Wegovy prescription requires meeting specific medical criteria. Generally, candidates should have a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
"We ensure every patient receives personalised care, taking time to understand their unique health profile before prescribing Wegovy. This thorough approach maximises treatment success whilst prioritising patient safety." - Mayfield Clinic Sevenoaks
Once approved, Wegovy treatment begins with a gradual dose escalation. Your Sevenoaks-based GP will start you on the lowest dose, typically 0.25mg weekly, increasing gradually over 16-20 weeks to the maintenance dose of 2.4mg.
This careful titration minimises side effects whilst allowing your body to adjust to the medication.
Regular follow-up appointments are essential for Wegovy treatment success. At Mayfield Clinic Sevenoaks, we schedule monthly check-ins during the initial phase, monitoring:

While Wegovy can produce significant weight loss, it's not a quick fix. Most patients see initial results within 4-8 weeks, with maximum benefits typically achieved after 12-16 weeks of treatment.
Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects, most commonly nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea during the initial weeks. These typically subside as your body adjusts to the treatment.
