Weight Loss Clinic

If you are struggling to lose weight despite making lifestyle changes, or if your weight is impacting your health, it may be time to speak to your GP. This is especially important if you have a BMI over 30 (or over 27 with obesity-related health conditions), as medical interventions may be necessary to support your weight loss journey.

What is weight loss?

Weight loss is the process of reducing body weight, typically by decreasing fat mass through a combination of healthy eating, physical activity, and lifestyle adjustments. While many people aim to lose weight for aesthetic reasons, maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for overall well-being and reducing the risk of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Sustainable weight loss requires long-term changes in diet, exercise, and daily habits rather than quick-fix solutions.

What is weight loss treatment?

Weight loss treatment refers to clinically supported methods and medications that help individuals lose excess weight, especially when lifestyle changes alone have not been effective. Medical weight loss can support long-term health improvements and reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions.

How common are weight loss treatments?

Obesity is a growing health concern in the UK, affecting around 1 in 4 adults. Many individuals seek medical weight loss options when diet and exercise alone are not enough, particularly for those with a BMI over 30 or a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions.

What causes excess weight gain?

Excess weight gain can be caused by a combination of factors, including poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, emotional eating, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like hypothyroidism or PCOS. Sustainable weight loss requires addressing both physical and behavioural causes.

What treatment options can be offered?

Press Pharmacy offers prescription weight loss treatments such as Orlistat (Alli/Xenical), which reduces fat absorption, and GLP-1 medications including Wegovy (semaglutide), Ozempic (semaglutide), and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). This helps regulate appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support consistent weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes.

What are the side effects of treatment options?

Orlistat may cause gastrointestinal side effects like oily stools, flatulence, or urgency, especially after high-fat meals. GLP-1 medications can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, particularly at the start of treatment. All medications are prescribed following a clinical assessment over a video consultation to ensure safety and clinical efficacy.
