GLP-1 Weight Management Programme
About the GLP-1 Weight Management Programme
- A personalised, doctor-led weight management programme integrating consultation, tailored treatment and continued medical support for you.
- Our doctors may prescribe a once-weekly injection that mimics two hormones your body already makes, called GIP and GLP-1. Together, these hormones:
- Help you feel full sooner and for longer, by slowing how quickly food leaves your stomach
- Reduce hunger and cravings
- Help your body release insulin when blood sugar is high
- Support how your body uses stored fat

Q4. Who is the programme suitable for?
Adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27.5 or above with conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. Our doctor will assess whether the programme is suitable for you.
Q5. Will I be prescribed medication in this programme?
Not necessarily. Our doctors will recommend what is suitable for you after their assessment, and explain the benefits, risks and possible side effects of any treatment.
Q6. Will the prescribed medications cause any side effects?
Some people may experience mild stomach-related discomfort, such as mild nausea, bloating, constipation, which generally improves over time as your body gets used to the medications. Our doctor will go through this with you in detail and guide you on how to manage these symptoms.
Q7. Do I have to inject the medications myself?
Please rest assured that in your first few consultations with us, our doctors/pharmacists will assist you in administering the injections. When you start to feel more confident, you can administer them yourself at home.
Q8. How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary from person to person. They depend on your starting weight, your treatment plan and your lifestyle changes. Your doctor will set realistic targets with you and track your progress at each follow-up.
Q9. Will I gain back the weight when I stop taking the medications?
Rebound weight gain might be experienced in some patients. To reduce the chances of this from happening, a gradual tapering in medication dose and healthy lifestyle habits will be recommended by our doctors.

Yes. A reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity are important cornerstones of the programme to help you achieve your BMI and weight targets.
