Ozempic for Weight Loss in Kenya

Weight loss can be a challenging journey, but modern medical advancements have introduced solutions to make the process more manageable and effective. At Dr. Stasch Clinic in Nairobi, we specialize in personalized weight loss treatments in Kenya, designed to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight safely and efficiently.

One of the most exciting innovations in weight management today is weight loss injections, which include medications like Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro). In this blog, we’ll explore these treatments and how they can support your weight loss goals in Kenya.

What are Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and others are FDA-approved medications designed to help individuals manage their weight effectively. These injections are part of a broader category of diabetes weight loss injections, initially developed to manage Type 2 diabetes but proven effective for weight loss. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by controlling blood sugar levels and suppressing appetite, it is no magic potion – it basically makes your body think that you are full and hence, you eat less.

How do weight loss injections work?

These injections contain active ingredients like Semaglutide (used in Ozempic and Wegovy), which mimic a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They may work by:

Reducing hunger and controlling cravings.
Slowing digestion to make you feel full longer.
Promoting healthy blood sugar levels.
Changing taste for food making you select more healthier foods.
Making alcohol less attractive – reduced craving for alcohol plays a large role in your weight loss journey.

Popular Weight Loss Injections in Kenya

1. Semaglutide / Ozempic assisting in Weight Loss

Originally developed for diabetes management, Ozempic weight loss injections are gaining popularity for their effectiveness. Ozempic injections support sustainable weight loss when combined with a proper diet and exercise plan. The generic version Semaglutide, is available widely in Kenya.

Semaglutide price in Kenya: Prices vary depending on dosage and pharmacy. Contact us for consultation and guidance. We charge according to dosage and the plan you choose.

2. Wegovy Weight Loss Injections

Wegovy is another highly effective option for those looking to lose weight. It contains a higher dose of Semaglutide, making it especially useful for individuals with significant weight loss goals.

Wegovy price in Kenya: While typically more expensive, Wegovy’s benefits justify its cost for many patients. Currently it in not offered in Kenya.

3. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) injections

Tirzepatide is a newer option that has shown promising results for individuals aiming to lose weight and improve metabolic health. It is said to have a more favorable side effect profile compared to Semaglutide, but is also more expensive.

Benefits of Weight Loss Injections

Effective for both diabetes and weight loss management.
Encourages long-term lifestyle changes.
Proven results if combined with exercise and good nutrition.
Tailored to your needs by expert consultation at Dr. Stasch Clinic with a Plastic Surgeon, Specialist nurses and a PhD Nutritionist with years of experience in weight loss management.
We encourage the administration of these injections for limited time intervals only: We guide you to lose weight to be ready for your Plastic Surgery procedures like tummy tuck, liposuction or breast reduction. A safe BMI of 30 or less will reduce side effects or complications when you are thinking about having Plastic Surgery.
Most patients chose a 3- or 6-month period to have the assistance of the weight loss injections aiding them to regain their more ideal weight – before embarking on the transformative journey of plastic surgery.

Diet for Weight Loss: A Key Component

While weight loss injections are highly effective, combining them with a sensible diet is crucial. Here are a few tips to optimize your weight loss:

Focus on a balanced diet with high-protein, low-carb options.
Stay hydrated and incorporate plenty of fresh vegetables.
Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks.

Our expert Nutritionist will assess your current meal plan, and help you steadily improve your diet and lifestyle over the course of the weeks and months that you have earmarked to lose weight and achieve your ideal body.

Remember, weight loss is achieved through your brain and mouth… there is no easy way – you need to be motivated to achieve your goal and change your lifestyle.

Side effects of Semaglutide / weight loss injections

In our experience, these are the reported side effects:

Usually, when you start on the weekly low dose (e.g. 0.25mg Semaglutide), side effects are rare.
After a month, we usually increase the weekly dosage to 0.5mg Semaglutide, at which point some patients report nausea, mild diarrhea, feeling of bloating or burping.
Some clients report craving days – especially on the weekends. We then encourage our clients to be prepared for this, and drink lots of water and not succumb to the urge to eat sweets.
Sometimes your menstrual period can change – we don’t quite know whether that is due to the weight loss or the medication. In any case, it is advisable to discuss this with us.
Weight loss should be at a safe rate of 2% body weight per month (usually an average of 2kg per month is expected). The rate of weight loss usually increases after the 3rd month of using the injections – probably also because most of our patients have then embraced the lifestyle changes that go hand in hand with their weight loss journey, and the higher dosages of Semaglutide administered.
