💊 Weight Loss Medications
At Empower Weight Care, we know that the journey toward weight loss can feel challenging.
That’s why we offer clear, compassionate guidance on how weight loss medications may fit into your personal plan.
Our approach is always tailored to your needs and combined with supportive care.

Medication Options for Effective Weight Care
For many people facing significant weight management challenges, medical weight loss can provide an effective, evidence-based approach. In recent years, GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists have become leading treatments, with medications such as Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) showing promising results.
Wegovy, a formulation of semaglutide, works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite. It helps reduce cravings and increase feelings of fullness. Clinical studies have shown that, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Wegovy can support significant weight loss and improvements in overall health.

Mounjaro, with its active ingredient tirzepatide, offers a dual mechanism of action by targeting multiple pathways involved in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation. This innovative approach has also demonstrated impressive results, supporting substantial weight loss when used as part of a structured programme.
At Empower Weight Care, we emphasise that medication is just one part of the journey. Diet, mindset, and physical activity remain equally important. That’s why we carry out a full consultation before starting any treatment—to ensure safety, suitability, and alignment with your individual health needs and goals. Our role is to provide the knowledge, care, and guidance you need to make informed decisions with confidence.
⚕️Safe Dosage Guidance
Weight management can sometimes require the support of medication, and understanding the correct dosage is key to safe and effective use. At Empower Weight Care, we provide clear, tailored guidance on recommended dosages for weight loss medications, always aligned with your health needs and personal goals. Each medication has its own dosage instructions, which may vary depending on your health, the type of medication, and the treatment plan created with us. Following these instructions carefully is essential—incorrect use can reduce effectiveness or cause side effects. That’s why it’s important never to adjust or self-prescribe without professional guidance.

At Empower Weight Care, we are committed to helping you understand both the benefits and possible risks of prescribed medications. By giving you clear information, we ensure a safe and informed approach to medical weight management.
In this section, we outline the most commonly used weight loss medications, their recommended dosages, and key considerations to keep in mind. We also encourage open discussions with your healthcare provider, so your treatment plan is managed effectively and supports your long-term goals.
