Weight loss options

Losing weight can boost your confidence, energy levels, and overall well-being. It also reduces your risk of developing serious long-term health conditions.

While many people achieve results through a healthy diet and regular exercise, some may need extra support. That’s where prescription treatments like weight loss injections or tablets can help — especially for those who’ve tried lifestyle changes without success.

Weight loss injections help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels, making it easier to eat less and feel full. Tablets like Orlistat reduce how much fat your body absorbs from food. When combined with lifestyle changes, these medications can be highly effective.

What is obesity?

Obesity is a medical condition where excess body fat accumulates to an unhealthy level, typically with a BMI of 30 or higher. In England, over 25% of adults are obese and around 38% are overweight.

Obesity is caused by many factors including consuming more calories than your body burns, genetics, environment, and lifestyle habits. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, stress, and even mental health can all play a role

Risks of obesity

Being overweight or obese can lead to:

• Joint and mobility issues
• Breathing problems and fatigue
• Mental health challenges, including low self-esteem and depression
• Higher risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some cancers

That’s why taking steps toward a healthier weight is so important.

Benefits of weight loss

Losing weight — even a modest amount — can lead to major health improvements:

• Improved mental well-being: Better mood, self-esteem, and reduced anxiety.
• Less joint pain and easier movement: Especially in knees, hips, and back.
• Healthier metabolism: Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Stronger heart health: Helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
• More energy and freedom: Everyday activities become easier and more enjoyable.

Making lifestyle changes

Sustainable weight loss starts with long-term lifestyle habits. This means:

• Exercise regularly: Walking, strength training, cardio, or even gentle stretching can boost metabolism and burn calories.
• Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Cut back on processed food, sugar, and unhealthy fats.
• Be consistent: It’s not about perfection, but about progress you can maintain over time.

If you’ve already made these changes and still find it difficult to lose weight, prescription treatments may be a helpful next step.

How does weight loss medications work?

Click Pharmacy offers a range of weight loss medications that support your goals. These include:

• Wegovy (semaglutide): A once-weekly injection that reduces appetite and helps regulate blood sugar.
• Mounjaro (tirzepatide): A newer weekly injection, shown to produce even greater average weight loss.
• Saxenda (liraglutide): A daily injection that helps you feel full sooner and eat less.
• Orlistat: A tablet taken with meals that prevents your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat.

Each works differently but is designed to complement healthy lifestyle changes and improve long-term success.

Who is eligible for prescription weight loss treatments?

Prescription treatments are usually recommended for people with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27.5+ if there are additional health risks like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
