Weight Loss Maintenance Plans

At Oushk Pharmacy, we recognise that the journey to maintain your weight loss is just as important as the initial weight loss itself. To support you every step of the way, we’ve developed three comprehensive plans, each designed to meet your specific needs as you continue to work toward your health goals. Whether you want to maintain your current medication dosage, gradually reduce it, or transition to lifestyle changes, our plans offer the support and flexibility you need.

All of our maintenance plans are structured as 3-month subscriptions, enabling our prescribers to closely monitor your progress and provide personalised support. To make these plans sustainable and affordable for the long term, we are offering a 15% discount off our regular prices. Patients have the flexibility to switch between plans every 3 months, ensuring that your treatment continues to meet your evolving needs. The Flex Plan offers even greater flexibility, allowing you to initiate treatment at any point during your subscription

Example of some price plans for Mounjaro

Conti Plan on 15mg

Plan Price with 15% off equaling to £187 p/m 

Saving you £119.97 over the 3 months.

Flexi Plan (Patient stopped at 15mg after using this for 8 week and after 30 days would like to start again)

Initial Amount at Steady State: After 8 weeks of regular 15 mg weekly dosing, you would have approximately 40.5mg to 45mg of Mounjaro in your system at steady state.

Half-Life Reduction Over Time:

After 5 days (1 half-life): 50% of the drug would remain - 20.25 to 22.5 mg left.
After 10 days (2 half-lives): 50% of that remaining amount would be left - 10.13 to 11.25 mg left.
After 15 days (3 half-lives): 50% of the previous amount remains - 5.06 to 5.63 mg left.
After 20 days (4 half-lives): 50% of the remaining amount remains - 2.53 to 2.81 mg left.
After 25 days (5 half-lives): 50% of the remaining amount remains - 1.26 to 1.41 mg left.
After 30 days (6 half-lives): 50% of the remaining amount remains - 0.63 to 0.71 mg left.

Theoretically  - patient would need to start on 2.5mg after 30 days as the remaining drug in system is lower than the lowest dose available.  

In Reality - patient could start on 5mg or 7.5mg if prescriber deems appropriate..

This is why it is vital for patients to have history with us so we are aware of their adaptability to the drug and we can assume how they would react to the drug at different strengths.

 
Q: Can I switch to Oushk Pharmacy for my weight loss medication?

A: Absolutely! If you have a BMI of 25 and above and you are already using Mounjaro or Wegovy but are looking for a pharmacy that offers personalised, flexible plans, you can switch to us at any time. We welcome new patients who are committed to maintaining their weight loss journey with expert support.  We will require evidence of your current dose but may request longer history based on prescribers discretion.

Q: What is the lowest BMI Oushk will consider when offering maintenance plans?

A: Ideally you should commit to one prescriber when you start or reach a healthy BMI, however we do understand that some patients may already have reached a BMI below 25 and would like to find a maintenance plan which will allow them to continue their journey.  Anyone with a BMI of 20-24.9 will be considered on a case to case bases and will need to provide their weight loss history during the consultation process.  The final decision will be made by the prescriber.
