Why North Evington residents come to us

Real weight loss, prescribed properly — three miles from North Evington.

North Evington residents don't need to wait months for an NHS weight management referral to access GLP-1 medication. Clarendon Pharmacy on Welford Road runs a pharmacist-led weight loss clinic just three miles west of North Evington — around 12 minutes by car across the city, with free patient parking on-site.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are prescription-only medicines that need a qualified prescriber. The clinic is led by Mohammed Kolia (MPharm, IP), a GPhC-registered Independent Prescriber, which means we can assess, prescribe, dispense and review your treatment all in one place. No relay through a GP, no separate online prescriber sitting in another city.

Treatment starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll check your BMI, run through your medical history, your goals, and confirm whether GLP-1 treatment is clinically appropriate. NICE recommends these medicines for adults with a BMI of 30 or above (or 27.5 if you have a weight-related condition like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnoea). For South Asian, Black African and Black Caribbean populations — a significant proportion of North Evington residents — NICE recommends adjusted lower BMI thresholds (BMI 27.5 instead of 30).

After your first prescription you'll book back monthly for a check-in — weight, side effects, dose escalation if appropriate, and your next month's supply. Most patients see clear progress within 12–16 weeks. No subscription, no contract — you stop when you're ready.

FAQ

Common questions about Mounjaro and Wegovy.

If your question isn't here, give us a call and we'll talk it through.

NICE recommends GLP-1 treatment for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27.5+ if you have a weight-related condition like type 2 diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnoea. For South Asian, Black African and Black Caribbean populations the adjusted threshold is BMI 27.5 (no comorbidity needed). We'll check at your free consultation.
Mounjaro acts on two pathways (GLP-1 and GIP); Wegovy acts on GLP-1 alone. In head-to-head trials, Mounjaro tends to produce slightly greater weight loss on average, but both are highly effective. Mohammed will explain which is right for your specifics at the consultation.
Real-world results vary widely. Pivotal clinical trials at full-dose maintenance showed average reductions of around 21% body weight on Mounjaro (SURMOUNT-1) and 15% on Wegovy (STEP-1) over 18+ months. Most patients see clear progress within 12–16 weeks and continue improving as the dose escalates.
NHS weight-management services do prescribe these medicines in some cases, but waiting lists are typically 12–24 months and access is tightly rationed. If you have time and want the free route, ask your GP about referral to an NHS Tier 3 weight-management service first.
Pricing varies by dose. We charge for the medication only — the initial consultation and monthly reviews are included. We'll give you the full monthly figure at your consultation so there are no surprises.
Most common: nausea, indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea, particularly in the first 4–8 weeks while your body adjusts. These usually settle. Less common but worth knowing: gallbladder problems, pancreatitis (rare). We go through the full list at your consultation and explain what to watch for.
Yes — both medicines are weekly self-injections (subcutaneous, into the abdomen, thigh or upper arm). Mohammed walks you through the technique at your first visit. The needles are very fine — most people find it surprisingly easy.
