Weight loss pens help you lose weight by mimicking a natural hormone in your body to make you feel less hungry. 

When you eat, your levels of a hormone called GLP-1 increase. This hormone helps to control your appetite and how much you eat, by sending signals to your brain that you are getting full. It also slows down food leaving your stomach and keeps your blood sugar levels stable. The active ingredient in our weight loss pens mimics the GLP-1 hormone.

The advised strength for weekly weight loss injections is 2.4mg. You will start with a low dose that will be raised over a 16 week period to reach the maximum strength. This gradual increase will allow your body to adapt to the injections whilst reviewing any potential side effects. 

Your first dose will be set at 0.25mg, administered once a week. Every four weeks, this weekly dosage will increase until the 2.4mg maintenance dosage is reached. From then on, you’ll take the 2.4mg weekly injections until you fall to a healthy BMI or unless your medical team suggests a different course.

It is recommended to inject weight loss pens in fatty areas of your body, such as your stomach, thighs and upper arms.

You can inject in the same part of your body each time you use the pens but you need to choose a different spot each time. Alternatively, you can us different parts of the body each time.

You should not inject weight loss pens into:

• Tender, bruised, red, warm or hard skin
• Areas with scars or stretch marks

No, you should not use weight loss pens in any form during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
