Weight Loss Clinic for Altrincham

Weight loss clinic for Altrincham residents

Trafford Clinic is the closest pharmacist-led GLP-1 weight loss service to Altrincham — a straight 15–20-minute drive up the A56 or a direct Altrincham-Metrolink line journey to Trafford Bar. We operate from Empire Pharmacy, 122 Seymour Grove, Old Trafford (GPhC premises 1123966), led by Independent Prescriber Haroon Mohammad Iqbal MPharm, IP (GPhC reg. 2051093). Free initial consultation, no subscription, no auto-billing, no online middleman.

Mounjaro and Wegovy — the clinical programme

We prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide, dual GLP-1/GIP, NICE TA1026) and Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg, NICE TA875). Eligibility: BMI ≥30 or ≥27.5 with a comorbidity, with the 2.5-point lower threshold for South Asian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Black African and African-Caribbean adults (NICE CG189). SURMOUNT-1 showed ~21% weight loss on Mounjaro at 72 weeks; STEP-1 showed ~15% on Wegovy at 68 weeks. We escalate Mounjaro 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15mg weekly; Wegovy 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 1.7 → 2.4mg weekly. GI side effects peak in the first 4–8 weeks; we follow MHRA Drug Safety Updates.

Baseline bloods and monitoring

Before any first prescription we recommend a baseline panel — HbA1c, U&E, LFTs, TSH/T3/T4, lipid profile, vitamin D — via our Altrincham blood tests service. UKAS-accredited lab, 24–48-hour results, IP-annotated. We repeat at 6 months. For long-term metformin users on top of GLP-1, we screen B12: see our Altrincham B12 page.

Altrincham patient profile

The Altrincham catchment skews towards working professionals and parents looking for a controlled, well-monitored, prescriber-led service — not subscription-based weight-loss kits posted to a door. Monthly reviews fit a school-run schedule (10–15 minutes), and we always have your next month's medication in stock to dispense the same visit, removing cold-chain courier risk.
