Overview
Struggling to lose weight is one of the most common yet frustrating challenges, especially when traditional diets and exercise have failed to deliver lasting results. For many, they have resorted to weight loss injections to help in their weight loss journey, but unless it’s medically supervised, there is a risk that you could be harming your body more than helping. A weight management programme enables you to explore your options under the guidance of your GP and pharmacist, providing peace of mind and sustainable results.
What is A Medicated Weight Management Programme?
A weight management programme is a structured treatment plan that combines prescription weight loss medication with professional medical guidance to help you achieve sustainable weight loss. Unlike typical weight loss methods that rely solely on diet and exercise, this programme is designed safely to work with you (and your doctor) to help overcome weight-related health concerns.
The medicated weight loss programme we provide is GP-led. Many online pharmacies’s patient care during your weight loss journey ends when you purchase their weight loss injections. With a medically supervised weight management programme, your doctor stays with you throughout your journey, providing support, guidance, and dosage adjustments if needed. where post-purchase monitoring is minimal, if at all, undertaking your weight loss journey under guidance and supervision.
Who is This Programme For?
This weight loss programme is designed for those who need medical support for weight loss and have struggled with previous attempts to lose weight. To see if you’re eligible for the programme, your doctor will provide a medical questionnaire to fill out. Some of the factors that will come into play regarding your eligibility include:
- BMI (over 30)
- Age (between 18-65)
- Medical history, including any underlying conditions.
How the Programme Works
Our weight management clinic follows a structured process to ensure safe and effective treatment.
When you book a consultation with our weight loss GP, you will receive an email shortly after that with a medical questionnaire to fill out and return to us. Then, our GP will review the questionnaire before scheduling a 30-minute consultation where your basic stats will be measured. These include:
- Weight and height
- Blood pressure
- Fat percentage
- Muscle mass
- And, if needed, bloods
If your doctor approves you for the programme, they will issue you with the medication and discuss how to use the injections and how to dispose of them safely.
After four weeks, your GP will follow up to check your progress and, depending on the results, can prescribe another four-week course. These courses, followed by review appointments, can continue as long as you and your doctor are happy to.
Why Choose This Programme Over Online Pharmacies?
While it is possible to purchase weight loss injections from online pharmacies, these services do not provide ongoing medical supervision. Without professional guidance, you may struggle with managing side effects, incorrect dosing, or unsafe use of the medication.
Our weight management programme ensures that patients receive GP-led treatment, personalised dosage adjustments, and regular monitoring to improve safety and effectiveness. And our local pharmacist provides a secondary point of contact for a well-rounded treatment plan.
