MEDICATION
BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND NEED TO BE USED IN THE RIGHT WAY TO ENSURE WEIGHT LOSS IS MAINTAINED FOR LIFE.
That's why working with a specialist is worthwhile, to optimise your longterm success and achieve the maximum health and weight loss benefits.
The medication also needs to be prescribed after a medical assessment to ensure that the drugs are suitable and safe for you.
For that reason I only prescribe weight loss medication alongside my science-based weight loss programme or following a comprehensive medical consultation with me.

The price of of medication remains the same until month 4 and month 5 when the dose strength is much higher and the cost rises to £260 (month 4) and £310 (month 5) which includes cost of review assessment, delivery and issuing of repeat prescription.
