FAQs: Weight Loss Clinic Services in Preston
1. What is the best weight loss treatment available in Preston?
At MedCare Health Clinic & Pharmacy, we offer a range of clinically proven prescription weight loss treatments including Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Wegovy (semaglutide), and Orlistat capsules. These treatments are tailored to your health goals, with full clinical support from our expert prescribers.
2. Can I get Mounjaro or Wegovy prescribed in Preston?
Yes. Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are available on private prescription from our weight loss clinic in Preston. After completing an online or in-person consultation, suitable patients can begin treatment with ongoing professional support.
3. What is Orforglipron and when will it be available in the UK?
Orforglipron is a new oral GLP-1 weight loss tablet developed by Eli Lilly. It’s currently in phase 3 clinical trials and is expected to launch in the UK by late 2026. MedCare Health Clinic will be one of the first to offer it once approved.
4. Do I need a prescription for Orlistat in Preston?
Yes. While lower-dose Orlistat (60mg) is available over-the-counter, our clinic prescribes the more effective 120mg strength, which helps block fat absorption from food. We also provide weight management plans to maximise results.
5. What’s the difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy?
- Mounjaro works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering powerful appetite suppression and improved blood sugar control.
- Wegovy targets GLP-1 receptors only, but is still highly effective for weight loss.
Both are once-weekly injections, but Mounjaro may be more suitable for patients with type 2 diabetes or resistant weight gain.
6. How much weight can I lose with these medications?
Clinical trials show:
- Mounjaro: up to 22% total body weight loss in some patients
- Wegovy: around 15% body weight reduction
- Orlistat: about 5–10% weight loss with diet and exercise
- Orforglipron (coming soon): early data shows 10–15% weight loss in 26–36 weeks
7. How do I start weight loss treatment at MedCare in Preston?
You can book an in-clinic appointment or complete an online consultation via our website. We’ll review your health status, weight loss goals, and suitability for prescription treatments — and guide you step-by-step through your journey.
8. Do you offer follow-up support and check-ins?
Yes. Our team provides ongoing support through repeat prescriptions, monthly reviews, blood tests (if needed), and lifestyle guidance to keep your progress on track.
9. Do you serve areas outside of Preston?
Absolutely. While our clinic is based in central Preston (opposite the Bus Station), we serve nearby areas like Fulwood, Ashton, Bamber Bridge, Chorley, Leyland, and even nationwide via online prescription and postal delivery.
