Your Weight Management Service
Losing weight can be difficult and demotivating if your hard work isn’t being reflected on your bathroom scales. But losing weight and improving your health can significantly increase your quality of life. And this is especially true for people who are clinically obese. We offer a weight loss service directly from our in-store clinic. There, we can offer advice and support for losing weight. Also, we offer a range of private medications that are proven to aid weight loss.

What are weight-loss medications?
Weight loss medications are a prescription-only drugs that are designed to support obese people who are trying to lose weight. Each type of weight loss medication works in different ways. For example, weight loss medications can work by:
– Stopping your body from absorbing about one-third of the fat you eat
– Making you feel less hungry
– Limiting your appetite and cravings
– There are also meal replacement plans
Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections, such as Mounjaro and Wegovy, have become increasingly popular as medical treatments for individuals struggling with obesity or weight-related health issues. These injections are part of a new class of medications that work by mimicking hormones naturally produced in the gut, helping to regulate appetite, improve satiety, and manage blood sugar levels.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It slows digestion, reduces appetite, and promotes a feeling of fullness after eating, leading to reduced calorie intake. It’s typically prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for adults with a high BMI or those with weight-related medical problems.
Mounjaro, on the other hand, contains tirzepatide, which targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors—making it a dual-action medication. Early studies suggest it may lead to even more significant weight loss compared to other options.
These injections are usually taken once a week and must be prescribed by a healthcare professional. They are not quick fixes but are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes. As with any medication, they can have side effects, so a thorough consultation is essential.
Weight loss injections represent a powerful new tool in the fight against obesity, offering hope for long-term weight management and better health outcomes.
Are weight management pills safe?
All medications come with risks and weight-loss tablets, like Orlistat and Xenical, are no different. However, weight-loss tablets are available as a prescription-only medication meaning you cannot buy them without first being assessed by a healthcare professional. This means that your pharmacist can ensure your suitability before prescribing them.
Weight loss pills are prescription-only medication for people who are clinically obese. This means a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above. If you have diabetes and your BMI is 28 or above you may also be able to receive weight loss medication.
Weight loss tablets are not long term treatments. These tablets are designed to support weight loss while also making lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and increasing activity levels.
What are the benefits of losing weight?
There are many benefits to losing weight. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce your risks of developing serious conditions, including:
– Cardiovascular disease
– Diabetes
– Stroke
– Cancer
– But being a healthy weight can also improve many other aspects of your health:
– Reduced symptoms of existing conditions such as asthma
– Feeling like you have “more energy”
– Reduced strain on your joints
– Better sleep
– More self-confidence and a positive outlook.
– Improvement in conditions like erectile dysfunction
