Glp-1 Therapy
Structured GLP-1 programmes built on an African-contextualised baseline and monitoring protocol, available in liquid, compounded, and injectable pen formats, matched to whichever fits your treatment plan.
Who it’s for: People who have struggled to lose weight through diet and lifestyle changes alone and want a clinically supervised, medication-assisted route.
How it works: GLP-1 receptor agonists – the class that includes semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide – work by mimicking a natural gut hormone. They reduce appetite signalling to the brain and slow gastric emptying, so you feel fuller for longer on smaller meals.
Because rapid, medication-driven weight loss can deplete lean muscle mass and micronutrients and slow digestion further, GLP-1 therapy at Velthera is never prescribed on its own. Every protocol is paired with supporting peptides and an adjuvant supplement stack, built to protect muscle mass, replenish key nutrients, and reduce side effects, so you can stay on the therapy and live fully while you’re on it.
An initial assessment is carried out to determine your eligibility for a GLP-1 therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clinical insights and honest answers regarding our medical weight management protocols.
How long before I see results?
By your first-month review, you should have seen significant improvements.
Will I lose muscle on this therapy?
Rapid weight loss can affect lean muscle mass, which is why every GLP-1 protocol includes supporting supplements to combat this and regular monitoring.
What happens if I experience side effects?
Your clinician adjusts your dose and protocol at your scheduled check-ins.
Can I stop at any time?
Stopping GLP-1 therapy is never something to do on your own. Discuss it with your clinician first, so you can be placed on a proper weaning plan, since stopping abruptly puts you at risk of rebound weight gain, a common effect once the medication is withdrawn.
