What are weight loss treatment bundles?
What’s in the bundles?
We have two types of weight loss treatment bundles: single-dose multipacks and multi-dose bundles.
Single-dose multipacks
Single-dose multi-packs contain 2 to 3 months of treatment of any sustaining dose. Two-month packs have two pens, with eight weeks of treatment, and three-month packs have three pens, with 12 weeks of treatment.
The single-dose packs start at 1mg and increase to 2.4mg. They are only available in sustaining doses, as you will take the same dose for multiple months. You can request the next dose during a consultation if you want a more potent treatment. If you are happy with the pack you are already taking, you can continue taking the same dose.
Multi-dose bundles
Multi-dose bundles contain three months of treatment with increasing doses. You will receive three pens, adding up to 12 doses, with one to be taken weekly. We have a starter bundle (0.25mg, 0.5mg & 1mg), a step-up bundle (0.5mg, 1mg & 1.7mg), and a sustain bundle (1mg, 1.7mg & 2.4mg). Your prescriber will clarify what your next bundle purchase should be for a steady and straightforward titration path.
What are the benefits of bundles?
Opting for bundles over single treatments means fewer consultations. Instead of one monthly consultation, you will have one every 2-3 months, making your weight loss journey hassle-free.
Also, when opting for a bundle, you can save up to 10% on consultations. If we split the consultation price into weekly amounts, your starter bundle will cost you £37.41 per week, and purchasing the same length and strengths of treatment individually will cost you £40.50 per week.
How does titration work when opting for treatment bundles?
Titration for single-dose multipacks
Single-dose multipacks are only available in sustaining doses, so there is no need for a specific titration path. For example, if you complete the two months of 1mg, you can continue on 1mg or step up to the 1.7mg multipack. The only necessity is completing at least four weeks of your current strength before starting the next.
Titration for multi-dose bundles
Titration for multi-dose bundles depends on whether you are currently taking treatment or a new patient looking to start treatment with bundles.
You will start on the Starter Bundle if you are a new patient. Once complete, you will move on to the Sustain Bundle.
If you are already taking treatment, you should move onto the bundle whose starting strength matches the strength you will already be moving on to. For example, if you take 0.5mg, your next strength would be 1mg, so you should choose the bundle starting with that strength.
What happens if I miss a weekly dose when I purchase a bundle?
Missing a dose on the single-dose multipacks
Single-dose multi-packs contain one sustaining dose, so it’s nothing to worry about if you accidentally miss a dose. Just take the next dose as soon as you remember and ensure you wait a whole week before taking your next one.
Missing a dose on the multi-dose bundles
It’s also not a significant issue if you miss a weekly dose on multi-dose bundles, but ensure that you complete the full four weeks of the strength you are currently taking before increasing the treatment strength.
For example, if you miss your 4th week of 0.25mg, don’t jump straight to 0.5mg the week after. Take your 4th dose of 0.25mg as soon as possible and wait a week before increasing the strength and starting the next pen.
Is it easy to swap from single Wegovy pens to bundles?
The titration path of bundles is suitable for anybody currently taking Wegovy to swap over from individual treatments. Because of the different types of bundles and multi-packs, there’s a titration path for everyone.
If you are currently taking a starting dose (0.25mg), you can swap to the step-up bundle as soon as you finish your four weeks of treatment. If you are taking 0.5mg, you can swap to the sustain bundle once you have finished your four weeks of treatment.
If you are taking sustaining doses (1mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg) and feel you need to increase your dose, swap to the single-dose multipack. You must still complete the full four weeks of your current dose before stepping up. Unfortunately, if you’re taking 2.4mg, there isn’t a higher dose available in Wegovy. You can continue to take this dose until you reach your goal weight.
How do I get my hands on a bundle?
Bundle options are visible during your consultation.
If you are a new patient, you may only see the starter bundle, as there are restrictions on what strength you can start your treatment with. The next bundle will become available as you work through the treatment strengths.
If you are an existing patient, you should be able to see all of the available bundles. You’ll have a choice between single-dose multipacks and multi-dose bundles. If you are unsure how your titration will work, ask a prescriber during your consultation.
