Weight Loss Clinic for Manchester City Centre

Weight loss clinic for Manchester city centre patients

If your office or home is in the city centre, Trafford Clinic's GLP-1 weight loss programme is 15 minutes down the Altrincham Metrolink line. The clinic operates from Empire Pharmacy, 122 Seymour Grove, Old Trafford — GPhC-registered premises 1123966, led by Independent Prescriber Haroon Mohammad Iqbal MPharm, IP (GPhC reg. 2051093). Free initial consultation, no subscription, no auto-billing. We prescribe and dispense on-site — you don't deal with an online middleman or an offshore prescriber you've never met.

The clinical programme

We prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide, the dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, 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 Mounjaro at ~21% weight loss at 72 weeks; STEP-1 showed Wegovy at ~15% at 68 weeks. Mounjaro escalates 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15mg weekly; Wegovy 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 1.7 → 2.4mg weekly. We follow MHRA Drug Safety Updates and adjust dose for the inevitable first 4–8 weeks of GI side effects.

The city-centre professional angle

Most of our city-centre patients are working full-time, often with travel commitments. We do monthly reviews in 10–15-minute slots that fit a lunch break, and we always have your next month's medication in stock to dispense the same visit — no posting, no temperature-controlled couriering, no risk to the cold chain. If you travel often we'll write a short medication letter for airport security and walk you through cold-chain bag advice for long flights.

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 city centre blood tests service. UKAS-accredited lab, 24–48-hour results, IP-annotated. We repeat at 6 months. If your bloods flag a B12 deficiency (common in long-term metformin or PPI users) see our B12 injections page for the loading-dose pathway.
