WEIGHT LOSS PILLS

What You Need to Know

There are a few different types of weight loss medication on the market these days, which can be confusing. Here we are focusing on weight loss pills and what you need to know.

What are weight loss pills?

Weight loss pills are a form of weight loss medication to aid weight loss in individuals.

 

There are LOTS of weight loss pills being marketed out there and a lot of them don’t work! So we would advise that you do your research and speak to a medical professional if you are seeking help with weight loss.

 

Generally, a weight loss pill that works will be one that is available on prescription only and is issued following a full medical consultation.

 

They work by reducing appetite and the amount that patients eat, whilst also increasing energy expenditure – helping patients to stick to a calorie-controlled diet and to reduce their body weight.

 

Can anyone obtain and use them?

Weight loss pills are widely available, but certain types are prescription only – these are generally the ones that actually work.

 

We would advise that you should only ever obtain weight loss medication via prescription from a medical professional.

 

We would also like to strongly express that weight loss medication should never be used in isolation or as an alternative to promoting healthy diet and lifestyle – it is part of the solution only if used correctly and in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

 

What weight loss pills are prescribed at The Liverpool Weight Loss Clinic?

 

At the Liverpool Weight Loss Clinic we prescribe Mysimba and only issue it once a full medical consultation has been conducted and as part of a fully supported weight loss program.

 

Mysimba is a prescription-only weight loss medication which helps to reduce your appetite and reduce your food cravings. It is approved to help you lose weight in conjunction with an active lifestyle and a calorie controlled balanced diet. Read more about Mysimba.

What Our Patients Say...

It is amazing how much of a confidence boost losing weight and feeling better in oneself can be!

Despite the lockdown, I have lost another 6kgs in weight and continue to make progress. I have now lost 4 stone since I started this journey less than 12 months ago!

Losing weight has been easy and successful for the first time in my life.

I am a shadow of my former self, having lost 8 stone in weight with the medication, concerted exercise, and dietary intervention.

I am now looking forward to holidays abroad. I feel so confident and have never felt like I could achieve this ever before.
