SimplyMeds Weight Loss Hub

Weight loss treatments work by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone produced in the gut that helps people feel fuller for longer. This signals to the body that enough food has been eaten, reducing appetite and food intake.

You may be eligible for weight loss injections if your BMI is over 30, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.

Once you’ve selected your medication, you’ll complete a short online consultation. One of our pharmacists will carefully review your answers and any additional information requested from you. You may be asked to provide proof of weight, height and ID. If approved, your treatment will be dispatched promptly. If we need any further information, a member of our pharmacy team will email or call.

Throughout your treatment, we’ll be here to support you every step of the way. Our pharmacists are available to offer expert advice on your medication, as well as tips to help you build healthy habits and stay on track.

To monitor your progress, you’ll complete a follow-up consultation at each stage of your treatment. This helps us review your results and make any adjustments as needed.

Weight loss injections may be suitable for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition. But it also depends on a number of other factors, including potential side effects, long-term costs, and a willingness to change your lifestyle.
