GET STARTEDBeing overweight is a very common problem. More than 2/3 adults in the UK are either overweight or obese. Excess weight is linked to several serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
We can prescribe medicine to help you to lose the extra weight — providing it’s suitable for you. We’ll get in touch with advice on how to best take your medicine and help you make the lifestyle changes you need to manage your weight over the long-term.
We’ll check in with you after you start any treatment we prescribe to see how you’re getting on. If it’s going well, you can potentially request repeat prescriptions for up to 12 months and we’ll check in regularly with you to see if you are on track.
GET STARTEDYou might have heard of Wegovy, an injection pen weight loss medicine that has been available in the United States since 2021. It has performed well in clinical trials, with patients reported as experiencing significant weight loss. We expect Wegovy to come to the UK and to Boots Online Doctor soon. In the meantime, find out more about this medicine and sign up here to find out as soon as it’s available.
