Why can’t I buy Qsymia in the UK?

Qsymia is a prescription weight loss medicine used in some countries. It contains a combination of phentermine and topiramate, but it is not licensed for sale or supply in the UK. This means Qsymia cannot legally be supplied by UK pharmacies or regulated online clinics. If you see websites claiming to sell Qsymia to UK customers, this does not mean the medicine is licensed, regulated or safe to buy. Compare your UK tablet options below.

UK oral alternatives to Qsymia

There is no direct UK-licensed tablet with the same active ingredient combination as Qsymia. The safer route is to choose a UK-licensed oral weight loss treatment after appropriate clinical checks.  These treatments are not the same as Qsymia, but they are oral weight loss options that may be available through UK-regulated healthcare providers after a clinical assessment.
