Weight Loss Clinic for Whalley Range

Weight loss clinic for Whalley Range residents

Whalley Range sits just south of Old Trafford — about 5–10 minutes from the clinic via Withington Road and Chester Road. Trafford Clinic's GLP-1 weight loss programme is led by Independent Prescriber Haroon Mohammad Iqbal MPharm, IP (GPhC reg. 2051093) from Empire Pharmacy, 122 Seymour Grove, Old Trafford (GPhC premises 1123966). Free initial consultation, no subscription, no auto-billing.

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) — particularly relevant for the substantial South Asian population in Whalley Range. 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. We follow MHRA Drug Safety Updates.

Baseline bloods and the B12 cross-reference

Every Whalley Range patient is offered a baseline panel before any first prescription — HbA1c, U&E, LFTs, TSH/T3/T4, lipid profile, vitamin D — via our Whalley Range blood tests service, with 24–48-hour turnaround from a UKAS-accredited lab. We repeat at 6 months. For long-term metformin users we screen B12 (metformin causes deficiency through interference with calcium-dependent terminal-ileum absorption) — see our Whalley Range B12 page.

Whalley Range patient profile

Mixed catchment: family-led referrals, post-pregnancy and perimenopause cases, and a substantial diabetic / metabolic-risk population. Monthly reviews fit a quick school-run gap; we always have your next month's medication in stock to dispense the same visit — no cold-chain courier risk.
