Ozempic · Semaglutide

The weight-loss shot.

Ozempic (Semaglutide) — men lose an average of 15% body weight. SA-prescribed, doctor-monitored, and delivered discreetly to your door every 3 months.

The Reality

Weight management gets harder as you age.

After 40, metabolism shifts. What worked at 25 doesn't work at 50. Willpower alone becomes frustrating. Modern weight management isn't about suffering through hunger — it's about biology. GLP-1 agonists work by changing how your body regulates appetite and blood sugar. Men see real, sustainable results: averaging 5-10kg loss in the first three months, often more.

Important: We pair you with doctors who assess your full health profile — existing conditions, medications, and eligibility. Weight loss success requires ongoing medical supervision and lifestyle commitment. Results are individual and depend on diet, exercise, and adherence.

Treatment options

Two proven treatments.

Semaglutide 1 mg injector pen — dispensed by Chyna's pharmacy partner

Semaglutide

Weekly injection · Medical supervision required

R2,400 – R3,200per month

The most effective weight management treatment available. Works by reducing appetite and improving blood sugar control. Most men see 5-10kg loss in the first three months, with continued weight loss over 12 months. Requires commitment to medical monitoring and lifestyle changes.

  • ✓ One injection per week
  • ✓ Average 5-10kg in first 3 months
  • ✓ Improved appetite control
  • ✓ Ongoing doctor check-ins required
Tirzepatide 2.5 mg injector pen — dispensed by Chyna's pharmacy partner

Tirzepatide

Weekly injection · Newer formulation

R3,500 – R5,000per month

Dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist — works on two pathways for potentially stronger appetite reduction and weight loss than semaglutide alone. Some men see even faster initial results. Still requires lifestyle commitment and medical oversight.

  • ✓ Dual-action mechanism
  • ✓ Potentially stronger appetite effect
  • ✓ One injection per week
  • ✓ Doctor supervision required

What to expect: Weight management with these medications works best alongside diet and movement changes. Most men see results within the first 3–4 weeks of starting. Results vary based on starting weight, metabolism, diet adherence, and how your body responds to the medication. Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust dosing as needed. This is a partnership between you and your doctor — not a quick fix.
