Mounjaro is an extremely effective drug that aids significant weight loss.
It is also a powerful drug that if abused can result in illness, which is why it is a prescription only drug. Demand initially outstripped supply which resulted in counterfeit products that are either ineffective or dangerous.
There are even reports of “reputable” online pharmacies prescribing with limited ( i.e. Virtually no) safeguards. As a result, several patients have come to Cosmex after starting with the online pharmacies, who have had their dose escalated automatically with what appears to be little or no consultation. This has resulted in the patients unnecessarily feeling very unwell.
At Cosmex we prescribe Mounjaro as an integral and major part of the weight management programme and we do it responsibly. Our goal is optimum patient health and not just maximum weight loss.
Having said that maintaining a healthy weight is vitally important to good health in the longer term. For further information see “Other health Benefits of Mounjaro”
Cosmex Clinic is a CQC registered specialist clinic and we pride ourselves on providing an excellent service and value. It would be very easy for us to take the standard route offering a simple online service. However, the following comparison with Boots online pharmacy will help to illustrate the limitations of a pure online service.

Advice based upon in depth understanding of body composition
A common mistake is to lose weight too fast, which can lead to excessive muscle loss. The loss of muscle can then lead to weight gain when you start to eat normally as muscle consumes energy even when at rest.
