WeGovy prescriptions have increased by 300% in private practice over the past year, yet many patients remain uncertain about the prescription process. Getting WeGovy for weight loss requires careful medical assessment and ongoing monitoring. At Mayfield Clinic Lewes, we provide comprehensive WeGovy treatment programmes tailored to your individual needs.
WeGovy (semaglutide) represents a significant advancement in weight management medication. This GLP-1 receptor agonist mimics hormones that regulate blood sugar and slow gastric emptying, leading to reduced appetite and sustained weight loss.
Private prescription for WeGovy at our Lewes clinic requires meeting specific clinical criteria. Patients typically need a BMI of 30 or above, or 27-29.9 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Your journey to obtain WeGovy begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced private GPs. During your appointment at our Lewes clinic, we conduct a comprehensive medical assessment including:
Detailed review of your weight loss history and previous treatments. Complete medical history examination to identify any contraindications. Baseline blood tests including kidney function, liver enzymes, and HbA1c levels. Discussion of realistic weight loss goals and timeline expectations.
This initial consultation typically lasts 30 minutes, allowing adequate time to address your concerns and develop a personalised treatment plan.
WeGovy is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection, starting with a low dose that gradually increases over several weeks. Our Lewes-based medical team provides comprehensive training on injection technique during your first appointment.
"Patients often feel apprehensive about self-administering injections, but the WeGovy pen is designed for simplicity. Most of our Lewes patients feel confident after just one demonstration."
The injection sites rotate between your thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. Each pen contains four doses, making it convenient for monthly collection from our Lewes practice.
WeGovy treatment requires regular monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. At Mayfield Clinic Lewes, we schedule follow-up appointments every four weeks during the initial three months, then every three months thereafter.
These appointments monitor your progress, adjust dosages if necessary, and address any side effects. Our multi-disciplinary approach means you can access support from nutritionists and exercise therapists at our Lewes location.
WeGovy works most effectively when combined with dietary modifications and increased physical activity. Our Lewes clinic provides access to qualified nutritionists who specialise in weight management programmes designed to complement your medication.
Regular exercise enhances WeGovy's effectiveness. We can refer you to trusted exercise professionals in the Lewes area who understand the specific needs of patients undergoing medical weight management.
