Weight Loss Support

Managing your weight can improve your overall health, boost energy levels, and reduce the risk of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Our pharmacy offers a supportive weight-loss service designed to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.

Our trained team will assess your needs, provide expert guidance, and discuss suitable treatment options where appropriate. We can support you with practical advice on lifestyle changes, nutrition, and ongoing progress monitoring.

How Our Weight-Loss Service Works

Starting your weight-management journey should be simple, supportive, and safe. Our pharmacy team will guide you through each step.

01

Book your consultation

Book an appointment through PharmaDoctor to begin your weight-loss journey. We will guide you through the initial steps and ask for relevant information about your health and medical history.

02

Complete your health assessment

We’ll review your medical history, current medication, weight-management goals, and other health information. This helps our qualified healthcare professional assess whether treatment is appropriate for you.

03

Discuss your treatment options

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your weight-management needs, answer your questions, and explain the options. If prescription weight-loss medication is considered, a qualified prescriber will assess your suitability and explain the benefits, risks, and side effects.

04

Start your weight-loss journey

If treatment is suitable and prescribed, we’ll explain how to access your medication, including payment arrangements. We’ll also provide guidance on healthy lifestyle changes and follow-up support to help you reach your weight-management goals. Your health and safety come first. Treatment is subject to an individual clinical assessment, and we supply prescription medication only when clinically appropriate.

Your health and safety come first. Treatment is subject to an individual clinical assessment, and we supply prescription medication only when clinically appropriate.

During your consultation, our pharmacist will review your individual circumstances, discuss suitable treatment options and answer any questions you may have.

If prescription treatment is clinically appropriate and authorised, we’ll explain the costs and payment process. We can arrange your first month’s treatment for collection or delivery, where available. Our team will also explain how to use your medication and access ongoing support.

The cost of treatment depends on your assessment and the option your pharmacist recommends. We’ll explain the treatments and their costs before you decide whether to proceed.

Please contact our pharmacy team for information about current prices, consultation fees and any follow-up charges.

Your health and safety are our priority. Prescription weight-loss medicines available through our service are authorised for specific uses in the UK and are subject to regulatory requirements. However, no medication suits everyone, and all treatments carry potential risks and side effects.

Clinical assessment: Before prescribing treatment, an appropriately qualified prescriber will assess your medical history, current medication, and suitability.

Possible side effects: Depending on the medication, side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and changes in appetite. Some side effects improve over time, while others may require medical advice or a change in treatment. Contact your pharmacy team if you experience concerning symptoms.

Ongoing monitoring and support: If treatment starts, we’ll explain how to use your medication safely and discuss follow-up arrangements. Monitoring helps assess your progress, review tolerability, and identify concerns needing further clinical assessment.

A personalised approach: Medication is one part of weight management. We encourage sustainable lifestyle changes, including balanced nutrition and physical activity, alongside clinical support to help you reach your health goals.
