Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of weight loss medications in my journey?
Weight loss medications can be a helpful tool for reducing appetite, managing cravings, and improving metabolic function. They are most effective when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity.
Can I use weight loss medications if I have pre-existing conditions?
Yes, but only under medical supervision. Our team carefully evaluates your health history to ensure that any prescribed medication is safe and appropriate for your condition.
How do appetite suppressants work?
Appetite suppressants target the brain’s hunger centre, helping you feel full after eating smaller portions. They do not eliminate hunger but make sticking to a calorie-controlled diet easier.
Is weight loss management suitable for everyone
Our services are tailored for individuals with a BMI over 25 or those struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise. We also support individuals with obesity-related health conditions.
How often do I need to consult with the pharmacy?
Regular follow-ups are essential for monitoring your progress, adjusting your plan, and addressing any concerns. These are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks.
Are there any side effects of weight loss medications?
Some medications may cause mild side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, or headaches. These are usually temporary, and our team will help manage them effectively.
How can I maintain my weight after losing it?
Maintaining weight loss requires an ongoing commitment to healthy eating, regular physical activity, and periodic check-ins with our team. We provide maintenance plans and support to help you sustain your success.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Some weight regain may occur if medications are stopped without making lasting lifestyle changes. That’s why we emphasise the importance of combining medication with sustainable habits.
Do I have to join a long-term program?
No, we offer flexible plans tailored to your preferences, including short-term or long-term options based on your needs.
