Mounjaro Weight Loss Injections in Bromley: Everything You Need to Know in 2025
Introduction: Why Mounjaro Matters
I’m Karman Chung, Superintendent at Bromley Travel & Weight Loss Clinic at Lakewood Pharmacy. Over the past year, more and more people in Bromley, West Wickham, Croydon, Beckenham, Orpington, Lewisham, and Catford have been asking me about Mounjaro (tirzepatide). It’s one of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss, often described as a new generation of weight management medication.
But with recent price hikes, confusing NHS criteria, and lots of news headlines, it’s understandable that patients feel unsure. This article is designed to answer all your questions in plain English, explain the latest developments, and reassure you about how we at Bromley Travel & Weight Loss Clinic are supporting patients through these changes.
If you’re just beginning to explore the idea of weight loss injections more generally, you may also want to read our detailed guide: Start Weight Loss Injections.
What is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?
Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a medicine originally developed for type 2 diabetes. It has since been shown to help people living with obesity lose a significant amount of weight. Unlike older treatments, it works on two natural hormones in your body at once. These hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) regulate appetite, digestion, and how your body processes sugar.
By targeting both at the same time, Mounjaro helps you feel fuller quicker, reduces hunger, and slows digestion, which means you’re less likely to overeat. Most people take it as a once-weekly injection into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
Who Can Use Mounjaro?
Because it is such a powerful treatment, there are strict guidelines in place to ensure safety. In the UK, Mounjaro is currently available both privately and through the NHS, though NHS eligibility is limited.
Generally, Mounjaro may be prescribed if you are an adult with a high BMI and certain weight-related health problems. The NHS has set out detailed rules, which usually include having a BMI of 40 or above along with other health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnoea. For some ethnic groups, the BMI threshold is slightly lower due to higher health risks.
If you don’t meet the NHS criteria, you may still be able to access Mounjaro privately, but this depends on a personal consultation and medical assessment. That’s something we can help you with at our Bromley clinic.
The Current Situation with Mounjaro Pricing
If you’ve been following the news, you’ll know that the cost of Mounjaro has been a hot topic. Eli Lilly, the company that makes it, recently announced significant price increases from September 2025, with some higher doses set to more than double in cost.
For patients receiving treatment through the NHS, the price changes will not affect you because the NHS has a separate pricing agreement in place. However, for those paying privately, it does mean that higher doses will now be more expensive.
At Bromley Travel & Weight Loss Clinic, we want to reassure our patients that we are doing everything possible to keep costs fair. We work with trusted suppliers, pass on savings where we can, and remain transparent about any changes. Unlike some providers, we will never take advantage of demand by inflating prices.
What to Expect When Starting Mounjaro
When you begin treatment with Mounjaro at our clinic in West Wickham, the process is straightforward but carefully managed. Your first consultation is private and confidential. We’ll go through your medical history, check your BMI, and make sure this is the right treatment for you.
If you are suitable, we’ll explain exactly how to use the injection pen and what kind of results you can expect. Follow-up is a key part of our care. We’ll arrange regular check-ins, either in person or by phone, to monitor your progress, answer your questions, and adjust treatment if necessary.
Most patients start to notice small changes in appetite and weight within the first few weeks, though meaningful results usually take a few months. At around three to six months, we’ll review your progress to decide whether to continue, adjust, or stop treatment.
Side Effects and Safety
Like all medicines, Mounjaro can have side effects. The most common are mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts. These include nausea, indigestion, bloating, or constipation.
In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, which is why close monitoring is so important. Mounjaro isn’t suitable if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions. We’ll always discuss these with you before starting.
Support Beyond the Injection
It’s important to remember that Mounjaro is not a magic solution. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes such as healthier eating and gentle activity. At our clinic, we make sure you get support beyond the injection. We’ll provide advice and encouragement to help you form habits that make your weight loss more sustainable.
What Are Patients Saying?
Across the UK, there’s a growing community of people sharing their Mounjaro experiences. You can read stories and discussions on forums like Reddit’s Mounjaro UK group, where people talk openly about their journeys. While it’s useful to hear others’ experiences, it’s important to remember that every person is different. What works for one may not be right for another, which is why professional guidance is so valuable.
