Being overweight is a very common problem with more than 2/3 adults in the UK are either overweight or obese. Excess weight is linked to several serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

We can prescribe medicine to help you to lose the extra weight — providing it’s suitable for you. 

We can provide convenient and personalised help without a trip to your GP or a doctor’s prescription. We’ll advise you on how to best take your medicine and help you make the lifestyle changes you need to manage your weight over the long-term. In-conjunction with Pharmadoctor our pharmacists provide weight management advice and prescription-only treatments accessible; some of which are not readily available on the NHS, you will have to pay for.

Thanks to the longer opening hours of many local pharmacies, including weekends, you can now arrange a consultation at a time that works for you. Depending on the outcome of your consultation we may offer you Xenical® (orlistat)  - thrice-daily tablet or WeGovy injection.
