A Guide to Weight Loss Injections How to maximise weight loss, minimise side effects – and keep the weight off

Health experts believe that a new class of drugs known as GLP-1s, better known as weight loss injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, have a significant role to play in transforming people's health and reducing obesity rates in the UK and worldwide.

In this book, Dr David Cavan, a world-leading authority on all aspects of diabetes and the use of semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), reviews the history, development, safe use of, benefits and risks of the latest generation of this class of important medications. Up to date with a rigorous understanding of both the latest scientific research and informed by years of clinical experience, this book gives the reader all the facts.

You will learn not just how to minimise side effects and achieve your weight loss and other health goals while using them, but also how to make the lifestyle changes to ensure the weight loss will be maintained afterwards.
