Losing weight can be challenging, particularly if diet and exercise alone have not delivered the results you hoped for. Excess weight is associated with an increased risk of health conditions including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnoea and certain cancers.

For some adults, clinically supervised weight management treatment may be appropriate alongside lifestyle changes. Options can include medicines that help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness or reduce the absorption of dietary fat.

At My Private Pharmacist, our online weight loss service is designed for adults seeking clinically reviewed support. Our UK prescribing and pharmacy team will assess factors such as your BMI, medical history, current medicines and treatment goals before deciding whether treatment may be suitable.

Weight loss medicines work best when combined with healthier eating habits, increased physical activity and long-term lifestyle changes. Treatment suitability, expected results and ongoing support requirements vary from person to person.
