Weight Loss Injections: The Science is Evolving
Weight loss injections have revolutionized obesity management, offering an effective tool for those struggling to shed stubborn weight. First came Saxenda (liraglutide), then Wegovy (semaglutide), and now, a new frontrunner is stealing the spotlight…Mounjaro (tirzepatide).
But what’s next? With clinical trials pushing boundaries and new drugs on the horizon, the future of medical weight loss looks brighter than ever.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): A Dual-Action Weight Loss Injection
Mounjaro, also known as tirzepatide, has already been approved in the UK for type 2 diabetes and has recently received MHRA approval for weight management in adults. This medication outperforms previous weight loss treatments, showing unprecedented results in clinical trials.
What Makes Mounjaro Different?
Unlike Wegovy, which mimics one hunger-regulating hormone (GLP-1), Mounjaro works on two, GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual-action approach leads to greater appetite suppression, improved insulin response, and faster metabolic effects.
Clinical Trial Results
- The SURMOUNT-1 trial found that patients using tirzepatide lost up to 22.5% of their body weight, a significantly higher percentage than those on semaglutide. (PubMed – SURMOUNT-1 Study)
- In some cases, weight loss exceeded 50 pounds.
- The drug also showed improvements in cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and heart health markers.
For those who don’t want to wait, The London PharmaClinic already provides Mounjaro on a private prescription basis, ensuring safe, expert-led access to this breakthrough treatment.
What’s Next? New Weight Loss Drugs on the Horizon
Pharmaceutical companies aren’t stopping at Mounjaro. Even more advanced weight loss treatments are currently in clinical trials, promising greater results and fewer side effects. Here’s what’s coming:
1. Retatrutide – The Triple Hormone Therapy
- This experimental drug targets three hormones: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon.
- A New England Journal of Medicine study found that participants lost up to 24.2% of their body weight over 48 weeks. (NEJM – Retatrutide Study)
- Estimated availability: 2025-2026 (if approved).
2. Cagrilintide – Long-Acting Appetite Control
- Works alongside GLP-1 agonists to provide longer-lasting appetite suppression.
- Could be a stronger alternative to Saxenda and Wegovy.
- Estimated availability: Late 2024-2025.
3. Orforglipron – The First Oral Weight Loss Medication
- A non-injectable GLP-1 medication currently in trials.
- Studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that patients lost between 8-12% of their body weight. (NEJM – Orforglipron Study)
- Estimated availability: 2026-2027.
The future of weight loss medications is rapidly expanding, and The London PharmaClinic is at the forefront of these innovations, ensuring patients get early access to safe, effective treatments.
