About this service

What is the weight management service?
Obesity is a widespread issue linked to serious health complications. In the UK, an estimated 1 in 4 adults live with obesity. To help combat this, our pharmacies provide a dedicated Weight Management Service.
This service offers prescription-only medications designed to support safe and effective weight loss. Whether you’re beginning your journey or continuing your progress, our pharmacies offer expert guidance to help you achieve your goals.
