GLP-1 Weight Management

A medically supervised programme, not a quick fix.

What is GLP-1 Weight Management?

Medicine, not a shortcut.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescription medications that work with the body's own appetite-regulating hormones, helping many patients feel fuller sooner and manage portion sizes more comfortably as part of a broader weight management plan. They are not a cosmetic injectable, and they are not suitable for everyone.

At FMAC, this programme begins with a full medical assessment by Dr Gerald Tan — your health history, current medications and suitability are reviewed before anything is prescribed, and you're reviewed regularly for as long as you're on the programme.

How it works

Assessed first. Prescribed second.

Dr Gerald Tan reviews your medical history, current health and weight goals to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you. Where suitable, the medication is prescribed and its use taught in-clinic, alongside practical nutrition and lifestyle guidance. You're reviewed regularly so the plan can be adjusted to how your body responds.

Who this is for

A programme, not a one-off.

01

Doctor-assessed weight goals

For adults whose doctor has identified a health-related benefit to structured weight management.

02

Prior lifestyle efforts

Often suited to those who've already tried diet and exercise changes and want additional medical support.

03

Comfortable with ongoing care

Willing to attend regular reviews and adjust the plan as needed — this is a supervised programme, not a single treatment.

04

Realistic expectations

Understands that response varies significantly between individuals and that results are not guaranteed.

What to expect

A gradual, monitored process.

First few weeks

Dose is typically started low. Some patients notice appetite changes; mild digestive side effects are possible and are discussed upfront so you know what to expect.

Months 1–3

Dose is reviewed and adjusted with Dr Tan based on how you're responding and tolerating the medication.

Ongoing

Regular monthly reviews continue for as long as you're on the programme, with an honest conversation about progress, side effects and next steps — including an eventual maintenance or exit plan.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is this safe for everyone?
No. This is a prescription medication and not everyone is a suitable candidate. Dr Tan assesses your full medical history before prescribing, and will explain clearly if it isn't right for you.
Does the injection hurt?
It's a simple subcutaneous injection, similar to other self-administered injections. Dr Tan or the clinical team will teach you the technique before you start.
Are there side effects?
Digestive side effects such as nausea are possible, particularly when starting or increasing dose. These are discussed at consultation, and your plan can be adjusted if needed.
How much weight will I lose?
Response varies significantly between individuals and depends on your starting point, dose, and lifestyle. We won't quote a number — Dr Tan will discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation at consultation.
How long does the programme last?
There's no fixed end date set in advance. Duration and any maintenance plan are personalised and reviewed with you on an ongoing basis.
