What is the Medicated Weight Loss Service?
The Medicated Weight Loss Service can help you achieve a sustained and healthy weight loss, with ongoing advice and support alongside a prescription medication treatment. This medication works to decrease your appetite and therefore reduce your food intake, which used in conjunction with a calorie-controlled diet and increased exercise has been shown to aid weight loss.

The service includes an initial consultation, during which they will take your measurements, BMI, and blood pressure. They will also take the time to discuss your weight loss goals and medical history with you.
