Medication works best alongside changes to eating and activity — the clinic supports both.

Weight loss injections are everywhere right now — and so are websites happy to post them out after a two-minute form. If you're in Sandwell and thinking about Wegovy or Mounjaro, the more important question isn't where's cheapest, it's who is actually going to look after you: check your history properly, get the titration right, and be reachable when you have side effects in week three.

Lyng Pharmacy runs a pharmacist-led weight loss clinic on Lyng Lane in West Bromwich, serving patients from across Sandwell — Oldbury, Smethwick, Wednesbury, Tipton, Great Barr — and the western side of Birmingham. Everything happens face to face with a pharmacist who can see you again next month, not a chat window that forgets you exist.

What the first appointment covers

A proper baseline: weight, height and BMI measured rather than self-reported, blood pressure, your medical history and current medicines, and a frank conversation about which treatment fits — or whether medication is right for you at all. Wegovy and Mounjaro have genuine eligibility criteria, and a clinic that never says no isn't a clinic.

How ongoing support works

Both medicines are titrated — the dose steps up gradually over months, and the step-ups are where side effects bite and people give up. We schedule reviews around each dose change, track your progress against a realistic target, and adjust the plan when life gets in the way. If nausea, reflux or anything else is making a dose hard to live with, you talk to the pharmacist who knows your file, usually the same day.

The honest bit

These medicines are effective, but they're a tool, not the whole answer — appetite returns when treatment stops, so the eating and activity habits built during treatment are what protect the result. We'd rather tell you that at the start than let you find out at the end. If a different route suits you better — structured support without medication, or a referral back to your GP — we'll say so.
