GIP and GLP-1 medications, paired with our expert coaching, have consistently delivered impressive results in helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals.Within the first six months, many have experienced up to 10% weight loss.
Rest assured, your journey to better health is both effective and safe. These medications, prescribed and monitored by our medical experts, are generally well-tolerated.
Our dedicated medical team will guide and oversee your treatment, ensuring your safety and success. You’ll be supported every step of the way as you work towards achieving your goals.
As humans, we’re all different, so the amount of time that it takes to work can vary from person to person. However, most people do start seeing results in terms of weight loss within the first few weeks of taking the injections – even before reaching the therapeutic doses.
Based on a 72-week clinical study of once-weekly injection of GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist compared to placebo, customers could lose up to 20% of their body weight. The doses of once weekly mounjaro have led to clinically meaningful and sustained weight reduction in obese adults.
As a general guide, most people taking Semaglutide for weight loss are expected to lose at least 5% of their body weight within 12 weeks of starting treatment. Generally speaking, if Semaglutide doesn’t help you to lose 5% of your starting weight after 12 weeks of using it, then our specialist nurses can arrange a referral to our specialist dietitians and life coaches to look at alternative options/support routes.
The following chart outlines eligibility criteria for Semaglutide and Mounjaro based on Body Mass Index (BMI) categories and health conditions for both white individuals and ethnic minorities.
You can identify your BMI by following the steps in the 'How do I work out my BMI?' question below.
Our systems and our specialist nurses will be calculating and reviewing your BMI upon receipt of your application or following your consultation. However, if you would like to work out your BMI prior to this, you can use our BMI calculator HERE [insert BMI Calculator or present one underneath].
Here is a simplified step-by-step guide to calculating BMI:
1. Convert your weight to kilograms (kg):
If your weight is in pounds (lbs), divide it by 2.205 to get your weight in kilograms (kg). For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, divide 150 by 2.205 to get approximately 68 kg.
2. Convert your height to meters (m):
If your height is in inches (in), multiply it by 0.0254 to get your height in meters (m). For example, if you are 70 inches tall, multiply 70 by 0.0254 to get approximately 1.78 meters.
3. Square your height in meters:
Multiply your height in meters (from step 2) by itself to square it. For example, if your height is 1.78 meters, multiply 1.78 by 1.78 to get approximately 3.17.
4. Calculate your BMI:
Divide your weight in kilograms (from step 1) by your height in meters squared (from step 3). For example:
BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)^2
BMI = 68 kg / 3.17
BMI ≈ 21.5
Yes, there are certain medical conditions that may disqualify someone from receiving medications like Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic or Rybelsus. These medications contain specific active ingredients (such as semaglutide for Wegovy and tirzepatide for Mounjaro) that are intended for specific uses and may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some general considerations:
-Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: These medications may not be recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the fetus or infant. Healthcare providers will assess the risks and benefits on an individual basis.
- Severe Gastrointestinal Disorders: Conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or severe gastrointestinal disorders may make the use of these medications problematic due to potential exacerbation of symptoms.
- History of Pancreatitis: Individuals with a history of pancreatitis may be at increased risk of recurrence or complications with medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy, which affect pancreatic function.
- Renal Impairment: Kidney function is an important consideration as some medications may require dose adjustments or may not be suitable for individuals with severe renal impairment.
- Liver Disease: Hepatic impairment can affect the metabolism and clearance of medications, potentially requiring dose adjustments or alternative treatments.
- History of Eating Disorders: Medications for weight management may not be appropriate for individuals with active eating disorders or a history of severe eating disorders due to the risk of exacerbation or complications.
- Certain Cardiovascular Conditions: Some cardiovascular conditions, such as severe heart failure, may necessitate caution or avoidance of medications that can affect heart function or fluid balance.
- Drug Interactions: Concurrent use of certain medications or substances may interact with Mounjaro or Wegovy, affecting efficacy or safety.
Ultimately, the decision to prescribe medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy depends on a thorough assessment by a healthcare provider. They will consider the individual's medical history, current health status, and potential risks and benefits associated with the medication. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding the use of these medications.

In the UK, medication is tightly regulated by the MHRA, which mandates that prescriptions from healthcare professionals are necessary for dispensing at pharmacies. This ensures that a consultation with a healthcare professional occurs to determine the most suitable treatment for you. After completing the medical questionnaire, our team of expert clinicians will thoroughly review your information and prescribe the appropriate treatment accordingly. For any of the weight loss medication provided by Dr Frank's, a prescription is required.
Once you have submitted your application details and uploaded the required images or scheduled and attended your video verification identity appointment, your application will be transitioned to the 'Processing' status. Once your application reaches this status, it is now ready for review by one of our specialist nurses to determine your eligibility for the treatment - this will be reviewed within 24 hours of reaching this status and you will receive an email update accordingly.

If your application cannot be approved at this time, there could be various reasons for this - these reasons could include:
- Incorrect or unclear images and/or documentation provided
- BMI falls within certain criteria which then requires a video or phone call with a specialist nurse for the off-labelling discussion (please see FAQ about BMI requests in ... section for further information)
- Image of medication/prescription does not fall within the last 28 days
- Identified as a Complex Case (i.e. clarity required on past or current medications taken) which requires a further discussion with a specialist nurse.
When one of these matters occurs, your application will be moved to the 'On Hold' status whilst we work on identifying and resolving the next steps. Please expect to be contacted by a member of the team within 24 hours once your order status switches to On Hold to explain the next steps.
*this is subject to change when it comes to the prescriptions being sent to the pharmacy for dispense on weekends and bank holidays due to courier restrictions and days of service.

Regularly tracking your weight is essential for both you and the Dr. Frank's team to monitor your progress on your treatment plan. We advise weighing yourself weekly and completing the wellbeing questionnaire monthly. You'll receive an SMS and email notification 21-25 days after your last purchase with a link to the wellbeing questionnaire that requires completion.
It is important to complete the wellbeing questionnaire so that both you and the Dr Frank's team can monitor your progress, tailor your dosing plan to what is needed uniquely to you, and highlight for side effects that need action with one of our specialist nurses. We work with you to find to what is needed for you based off the information provided and deliver high-quality advice to support you on your weight loss journey.
At Dr Frank's, if you are currently on Mounjaro, we follow the standard protocol of 2.5mg > 5.0mg. At this point, your progress and symptoms (if any), will determine whether you increase to 7.5mg or remain on the 5.0mg. If it is decided by one of our specialist nurses to increase to 7.5mg, a member of the team will be in touch to discuss prices.Similarly, these same steps will be taken with the 10.0mg, 12.5mg and 15.0mg.
At Dr Frank's, if you are currently on Semaglutide, we follow the standard protocol of 0.25mg > 0.5mg > 1.0mg. At this point, your progress and symptoms (if any), will determine whether you increase to 1.7mg or remain on the 1.0mg. If it is decided by one of our specialist nurses to increase to 1.7mg, a member of the team will be in touch to discuss prices.Similarly, these same steps will be taken with the 1.7mg to the 2.4mg.
You may experience some weight regain after discontinuing the medication, as it no longer helps control your appetite. This underscores the importance of the Dr. Frank's approach, which emphasises developing healthy habits in nutrition and exercise to sustain long-term weight loss.
Before considering discontinuation, we recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with one of our specialist nurses. This consultation will allow you to discuss the possibility of transitioning to a lower maintenance dose, enabling your appetite to stabilise gradually.
If you begin to regain weight or feel at risk of weight gain, it's best to contact us sooner rather than later. Delaying could mean needing to restart the program from the beginning, rather than transitioning to a tailored plan at a lower rejoin starting dose.
Plateauing during a calorie-restricted diet is a common occurrence where weight loss slows down or stops altogether for a period exceeding 3-4 weeks. This is known as a 'weight plateau'.
Weight loss is often non-linear and may include periods of stalling or slight increases.
If you find that you are experiencing weight plateauing, please get in touch with the Customer Service team or schedule a wellbeing call with one of our specialist nurses here

Mounjaro
Mounjaro (generic name: tirzepatide) is a novel injectable medication approved for the management of diabetes and weight loss. It is the first in its class of drugs and is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. This dual mechanism enhances insulin secretion in response to elevated blood glucose levels, suppresses glucagon secretion, thereby contributing to better glycaemic (glucose) control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. It also controls appetite effectively and slows gastric emptying (emptying of the stomach) resulting in significant weight loss in patients with or without Type 2 diabetes.
Mounjaro is administered through a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The initial dose is usually low, to minimise side effects, and is gradually increased based on the individual’s response and tolerance. If you are beginning on Mounjaro at Dr Frank’s, please be assured you will receive training and guidance from healthcare professionals on proper injection techniques and dosing schedules.
Mounjaro is considered safe for administration when prescribed and used appropriately under medical supervision. As with any medication, it is important to follow the guidance provided by healthcare professionals regarding dosage, administration, and potential side effects. If you have specific concerns about Mounjaro or any medication, it is advisable to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
A Mounjaro pen typically lasts for 30 days after it has been initially used. It's important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as indicated in the medication's packaging for proper administration and storage to ensure effectiveness throughout its recommended usage period. If you have further questions about the duration or usage of Mounjaro, consulting with your healthcare provider or pharmacist would be beneficial.
While Mounjaro is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe.If you are experiencing any side effects, please do get in touch with the team on enquiries@drfranks.co.uk or call 0331 630 1010 for further assistance.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as:
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- abdominal pain
- indigestion
- constipation
These often transient and resolve completely over time and as your body acclimatises to the medication. Less common side effects may include:
- pancreatitis
- gall stone formation
- inflammation of the gall bladder
- severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugars), especially when used with certain diabetes medications.
Individuals are always advised to monitor for severe symptoms and seek medical attention immediately.
Mounjaro's effect on weight loss is attributed to its action on appetite regulation centrally in the brain and delayed gastric emptying, leading to reduced food intake and increased satiety. While it offers an effective adjunctive treatment for individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, it's important to recognise that to gain the maximum benefit from treatment it should always be part of a comprehensive lifestyle and behaviour change program, including diet and physical activity.

Mounjaro may interact with other medications, including sulfonylureas and insulin (used if you have Type 2 diabetes), increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Dose adjustments and careful monitoring may be necessary when combining these medications. Your clinician will go through these and advise you as needed.
Additionally, Mounjaro may delay gastric emptying, which could impact the absorption of orally administered medications.
Your clinicians will conduct a thorough medication review to identify potential interactions and adjust treatment regimens accordingly. If you are taking other medications that are of concern in conjunction with Mounjaro, please schedule a call with one of our specialist nurses HERE
Before initial use, store it in a refrigerator away from any freezing elements. Do not freeze the medication, and do not use it if it becomes frozen.Following usage, you can either store the pen in the refrigerator or in a shielded, dark space below 30°C.
In the rare circumstance that the pen was not refrigerated before the first use, it remains suitable for use if the storage temperature is below 30°C. For Ozempic/Wegovy - Dispose of the pen after 6 weeks, following the manufacturer's recommendation.For Mounjaro - Dispose of the pen after 30 days, following the manufacturer's recommendation.
Each individual will have a unique experience and treatment plan based on their progress and symptoms.If you are starting as a new customer not on any weight loss medication, you will begin month one with the starting dose of 2.5mg and then increase in month two to 5.0mg. From here, the dosing schedule is individualised with dosage increased to 7.5mg > 10.0mg > 12.5mg > 15.0mg.
Please be advised that our specialist nurses will review your reported progress and updates on a monthly basis and prescribe your next dose in line and according to the information provided.
Yes, this request is possible, however it does require a call with one of our specialist nurses.
If you are an existing customer, to transition from Wegovy or Ozempic to Mounjaro, you can book a call with one of our nurses HERE to discuss further. This must be individualised and requires discussion. Please be aware that not all Mounjaro doses are currently available in the U.K. - the final 15.0mg Mounjaro dose is due toreleased at the beginning at July.

Please email us at enquiries@drfranks.co.uk with a photo or video of the damaged parcel within 7 days of receiving the items. Our team is ready to assist you accordingly.
For faulty items, we may request that you return them for investigation. Please ensure you keep the items rather than disposing of them to facilitate the resolution process.
If you are struggling to administer the last dose of your Mounjaro pen, please review the following information and images for each dose visual:
Each pre-filled KwikPen® contains 3 ml of solution and contains 4 doses of 0.6 ml which can be administered. Each 0.6 ml dose contains the appropriate amount of tirzepatide depending on the dose strength – for example, for the 2.5 mg KwikPen®, each dose (0.6 ml) contains 2.5 mg of tirzepatide.
Therefore, each pre-filled KwikPen contains 2.4 ml of solution that can be administered, with some additional volume for priming. After the fourth dose of tirzepatide, the KwikPen® mechanism prevents further solution from being injected from the device – the number of clicks is limited by the pen. At this point there will still be a residual amount that remains within the KwikPen® but cannot be injected – this is expected.
There are markers on the inside of the KwikPen® to highlight the number of doses that have been injected from the pen. When the plunger is level with the last marker (closest to the needle), this means that the fourth and final dose has been delivered from the pen.References: Mounjaro® Kwikpen® Summary of Product Characteristics
Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic/Rybelsus)
It’s important to know that Semaglutide isn’t a type of insulin, but instead it mimics a hormone that’s produced by your gut once you’ve eaten. Semaglutide helps many people to feel fuller and more satisfied for longer after eating smaller portions, ultimately resulting in eating less food and consuming fewer calories. In turn, this leads to weight loss when used alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Wegovy and Ozempic share the common active ingredient, semaglutide, yet they are promoted for distinct purposes. Ozempic is approved and licensed for managing type 2 diabetes and has been available since 2017 - although, it is has been found in a number of studies that it can also support and be effective for weight loss. In contrast, Wegovy is a more recent introduction licensed specifically for weight loss.In essence, Wegovy and Ozempic operate identically, eliciting the same physiological response. However, disparities exist in factors such as the dosage of semaglutide and the medical conditions they are indicated for in their respective marketing.
Semaglutide is administered through injections once a week. When initiating the medication, you will commence with a lower dose, gradually increasing each month until reaching the maintenance dose. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage as directed by our healthcare professionals.
We do also have the offering of semaglutide in a tablet form, Rybelsus. Rybelsus is administered once per day, following the prescribed dosing and instruction as informed by one of our specialist nurses. Consume the medication with a small amount of water. It is important to ingest Rybelsus 30 minutes before your meals, beverages, or any other daily medications. Consuming food or drinks within the 30-minute window after taking Rybelsus may diminish the drug's effectiveness.
Semaglutide, under the brand name Ozempic, was sanctioned for type 2 diabetes treatment in 2017. It is administered through injection into the stomach, leg, or arm fatty tissue. Rybelsus later introduced an alternative delivery method of Semaglutide as an oral tablet. Rybelsus received approval for treating type 2 diabetes in 2019, but its active ingredient, semaglutide, obtained approval earlier, in the injectable form of Ozempic.
Extensive clinical trials preceded the licensing of semaglutide, with injections approved for weight loss under the name Wegovy. This followed promising research results.
Despite Rybelsus and Ozempic not being licensed for weight loss, they share the same active ingredient, semaglutide, that is contained in Wegovy. While all medications carry potential side effects, for most individuals, they are mild and manageable. And, at Dr Frank's, our dedicated and experienced team are able to be contacted to provide the support and guidance that is required when needed.
As humans, we’re all different, so the amount of time that it takes to work can vary fromperson to person. However, most people do start seeing results in terms of weight losswithin the first few weeks of taking the injections – even before reaching the therapeutic dose of 1mg or above.
As a general guide, most people taking Semaglutide for weight loss are expected tolose at least 5% of their body weight within 12 weeks of starting treatment. Generally speaking, if Semaglutide doesn’t help you to lose 5% of your starting weight after 12weeks of using it, then our specialist nurses can arrange a referral to our specialistdietitians and nutritionists to look at alternative options/support routes.
While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects with some being more common than others.If you are experiencing any side effects, please do get in touch with the team on enquiries@drfranks.co.uk or call 0331 630 1010 for further assistance.
Common side effects of semaglutide include:
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Headache
- Tiredness
- Belching
- Dizziness
- Bloating
- Gas
- Upset stomach
- Heartburn
These effects typically subside as your body acclimates to the medication and dosage. If you encounter challenges with the side effects, our healthcare professionals are available to offer support and guidance.
Rare or uncommon side effects of semaglutide include:
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
- Gallstones
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Anaphylactic/ allergic reaction
- Diabetic retinopathy (an eye condition) complications in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Palpitations or feelings of a racing heartbeat while at restIf you experience any of the serious side effects listed above, seek medical attention immediately.
General
Off-label prescribing is when you are prescribed a licenced medication to treat a condition not specifically stated or listed on its product license.
Towards the end of the drug development process, the pharmaceutical company applies for a license to treat a specific condition and submits the results of its trials to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). If the license is granted, it will specify certain information regarding the medication, such as who can use it, what dosage, storage and usage instructions, side effects and contraindications and what conditions it may be used to treat. This can all be found in the patient information leaflet provided with the medicine.
Prescribing outside of the licensed specifications of any medicine means that it is being used “off-label”. Our clinicians at Dr Franks will only prescribe off-label if they believe that the medication will be effective at treating the condition in question, and that the advantages outweigh any potential risks.
Off-label prescribing is fairly common and is a safe practice as long as the patient’s condition, medical history, allergies and current medicines are taken into consideration. Being prescribed a medicine off-label doesn’t mean that the drug is unlicensed – these two terms mean very different things and shouldn’t be confused with each other. An off-label medicine is simply a medicine that does have a UK or EU license, but not for the purpose that it’s being used for.Wegovy and Mounjaro are indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management, including weight loss and weight maintenance, in adults with an initial Body Mass Index (BMI) of:
• ≥30 kg/m2 (obesity), or
• ≥27 kg/m2 to <30 kg/m2 (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity
For Mounjaro, Wegovy or Ozempic:
Before initial use, store it in a refrigerator away from any freezing elements. Do not freeze the medication, and do not use it if it becomes frozen.Following usage, you can either store the pen in the refrigerator or in a shielded, dark space below 30°C.
In the rare circumstance that the pen was not refrigerated before the first use, it remains suitable for use if the storage temperature is below 30°C. For Ozempic/Wegovy - Dispose of the pen after 6 weeks, following the manufacturer's recommendation.For Mounjaro - Dispose of the pen after 30 days, following the manufacturer's recommendation.
For Rybelsus:
Unlike other GLP-1 therapies, Rybelsus does not require refrigeration. It should be stored at room temperature between 20-25°C. Ensure it is stored in a dry place away from moisture.
If a dose is missed, it should be administered as soon as possible within 4 days after the missed dose.If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and administer the next dose on the regularly scheduled day.In each case, patients can then resume their regular once-weekly dosing schedule.For example, if the regular dose day is Sunday:

These trials also revealed a reduced risk of adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attacks or strokes.

When it comes to medications, a month is typically considered to be 28 days or 4 weeks, rather than the standard calendar month. Many daily medications are dispensed in 28-day supplies.
Consequently, your prescription may advance by approximately 2 days each month. NHS best practice guidelines recommend a 28-day repeat prescribing interval as the optimal balance for patient convenience, good medical practice, and minimising drug wastage. In addition, common use of the medication pen runs as 1 dose per week, each pen contains x4 doses of the prescribed level and, therefore, falls in line with charges running at every 28 days.
This method is also acknowledged as a safe option for repeat prescription systems by the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
We have validated our packaging and transportation methods to ensure that the product remains within 2-8 degrees Celsius for at least 72 hours.
However, if delivery delays cause your order to be delivered beyond this 72-hour window, a 6-week use-by period begins. During this time, you can use your medication without concern, as it will cover your full treatment schedule.
The only time we advise caution is if the solution appears unusually cloudy or lacks the transparency you’ve seen in previous pens.
If you are worried about the safety of your pen, please complete the form in the "Managing my Account, Orders & Deliveries" section of the Contact page. Include a picture or video of your pen, and our team will review it and provide further advice.
