How weight-loss medication can help you reach a healthy weight with ease

Can weight-loss medication help you lose weight? Many people who are overweight or living with obesity have tried all sorts of things without lasting results. Weight-loss medication, in combination with a suitable diet and lifestyle, can help you reach a healthy weight. Some weight-loss medicines can help to suppress hunger, giving you more control over your appetite. Depending on the medicine chosen, it’s possible to lose up to 20% of your body weight. Arrange your weight-loss medication quickly and easily, entirely online and at a time that suits you.

Weight-loss medication is only available on prescription. You are eligible if you have a BMI of 30 or over, or a BMI of 27 or over with an obesity-related condition. Weight-loss medication supports you in achieving your goals and works best in conjunction with diet and lifestyle adjustments. This allows you to see results faster than with diet or exercise alone. It can help you gain control over your appetite and eating habits. This makes it easier to be consistent, helping you to feel more energetic. Maintaining a healthy weight also supports your overall health.

Several weight loss medications have been approved for the European market for the treatment of being overweight or obese. These include:  

• Wegovy 
• Saxenda 
• Orlistat 
• Mounjaro 
• Mysimba 
• Xenical

The administration methods range from injections to tablets and capsules. The frequency of use depends on the administration method, your personal circumstances and your preferences. They typically work by: 

• suppressing your hunger; 
• reducing your appetite; 
• slowing the rate at which your stomach empties; 
• reducing fat absorption.

Which weight-loss medication is best for you depends on your situation and preferences. Do you want to manage your appetite better, or do you want to achieve the best possible results as quickly as possible? How willing are you to change your diet and lifestyle?

The length of time you should take your chosen medication for optimal results will depend on the specific product, your personal circumstances, and your preferences. A doctor may advise you to take the medication for longer, or to switch to a different one, to achieve the best possible results. Generally, most people will notice increasing results over time.

Stopping weight-loss medication suddenly is not recommended. You may experience withdrawal symptoms or regain the weight you have lost. If you wish to stop, you should always discuss it with your doctor first. With a doctor's guidance, you can stop safely by continuing to follow a balanced diet and maintaining your lifestyle changes. This gives you the best chance of keeping the weight off.
