GLP-1 Weight Management Appointment | Kirrawee

GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro and Wegovy are increasingly used as part of GP-supervised weight management in Australia. This stand-alone appointment at our Kirrawee clinic is focused on starting or adjusting GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy safely, with structured support to help you manage side effects, reduce costs, and stay on track.

What this appointment includes

Your GP will assess your current medication and health history, provide advice on side effect management, and support lifestyle changes including diet and exercise. You will also receive hands-on training in injection technique and safe sharps disposal.

Microdosing and slower titration

Starting at a lower dose and increasing gradually can reduce common GLP-1 side effects such as nausea, making it easier to continue treatment long term. Microdosing can also reduce cost, as a larger pen is spread across multiple smaller doses rather than a single standard dose.

Mounjaro golden dose

A small amount of medication often remains in a Mounjaro pen after the standard doses are complete. Your GP can train you to withdraw this remainder using an insulin syringe at home. A sharps container and syringe are provided at the appointment.

This appointment may suit you if you are:

• Starting GLP-1 therapy for the first time
• Experiencing side effects that are making it hard to continue treatment
• Looking for a more cost-effective approach to your medication
