Feel more like yourself, lately

As a general guide, treatment may be suitable if you’re 18 or over with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, or 27 or above with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure. Your BMI is a starting point. Your clinician will also consider your medical history, any medicines you take and your wider health before deciding whether treatment is right for you. When we open, our online assessment will help you find out.

Start by telling us about your health, your weight and what you’re hoping to change. A qualified clinician reviews your answers and any further information needed to assess whether treatment is suitable. If it is, they’ll suggest a treatment plan based on your needs. Any prescribed medication is delivered discreetly to your door. You’ll have ongoing clinical support to review your progress, manage side effects and adjust treatment when needed. You don’t need to know which medicine to choose before you start, and completing an assessment doesn’t guarantee a prescription.

Your care starts with a clinical assessment to check whether the potential benefits of treatment outweigh the risks for you. Any medicine we prescribe will be licensed in the UK and dispensed by a UK-registered pharmacy. Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation. Many are mild or short-lived, but some can be serious and need urgent medical attention. Before you start, we’ll provide clear information about the risks, what to look out for and how to get help. We’ll continue to review how you’re feeling throughout treatment.

There’s no single number we can promise you. How much you lose depends on your treatment, your starting point, your health and how your body responds, alongside changes to eating and activity. Your clinician will help you understand what’s realistic and review your progress over the months ahead. Progress can slow or level off, which is a reason to review your plan together. Keeping weight off matters too: weight can return after stopping medication, so we’ll discuss longer-term treatment and maintenance with you.
