What medicated weight loss means
Medicated weight loss supports lifestyle changes. It is not a replacement for healthier eating, movement, sleep, and long term habits. It is an option for some people living with obesity, especially when health risks are higher.
Prescription weight loss medicines work by helping you feel fuller for longer, reducing appetite, and supporting healthier food choices. Some also improve blood sugar control. Your clinician decides what is appropriate based on your health, medicines, and goals.
It may help if your weight is affecting your health. Eligibility is usually based on body mass index and weight related conditions. A clinical review is essential.
Why choose an online service in the Midlands
Online care means no waiting rooms. You can complete the consultation when it suits you, including evenings and weekends.
Privacy matters. Many people prefer discreet support, especially at the start. Online assessments and deliveries can reduce awkward conversations or repeated appointments.
It can also improve access outside major city centres. If you live in a smaller town or village in the Midlands, you can still access the same clinical review process.
South Ealing Pharmacy offers Midlands wide online access, with support for patients in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Stoke on Trent, Northampton, and surrounding areas.
How the online process works
Complete the online consultation
You share your medical history, goals, current medicines, allergies, and past weight loss attempts.
Provide key measurements
You provide your height and weight to calculate BMI. You may also be asked for waist measurement, depending on your situation.
Clinical review
A clinician or pharmacist reviews suitability and safety. This includes checks for interactions, risk factors, and any reasons treatment may not be appropriate.
Prescription decision
If suitable, a prescription is issued. If not suitable, you are advised on safer alternatives and next steps.
Supply and delivery
Treatment is supplied with clear instructions. Delivery is usually arranged. Collection may be offered depending on service setup.
Follow ups and progress
You have check ins to review results, side effects, and adherence. Dose changes are made only when clinically appropriate.
Eligibility and when it is not suitable
Eligibility is assessed case by case. Many services consider treatment for adults with a higher BMI, or a lower BMI with weight related health problems such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, sleep apnoea, or prediabetes. Your clinician may ask extra questions to confirm risk level.
Some people should not use medicated weight loss treatments. Common examples include pregnancy or breastfeeding, certain hormone or pancreas related conditions, some gastrointestinal conditions, a history of eating disorders, and some medicine combinations. This is why the consultation must be accurate and complete.
Safety comes first. Clinical judgement determines suitability.

Your clinician chooses a starting dose and titration plan based on safety and tolerability. Doses usually increase gradually. Not everyone reaches higher doses.
What to expect
Weight loss varies. Some people lose more than others. Your starting weight, dose, diet, activity, sleep, and side effects all influence outcomes. A realistic aim is steady progress over months, not days.
Common side effects
Nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux, headache, and appetite changes can occur. Many people find side effects improve after the first weeks or after dose stabilises. Eating smaller meals, avoiding high fat foods, staying hydrated, and increasing fibre slowly can help.
Safety, monitoring, and support
Monitoring matters because these medicines are titrated. Dose increases can worsen side effects if rushed. Regular check ins help keep treatment tolerable and safe.
Seek urgent medical help if you develop severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration, fainting, chest pain, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. If you have diabetes and use insulin or other medicines that can cause low blood sugar, you need tailored advice.
Support should feel practical. You should know who to contact, what to track, and when to report symptoms.
Pricing and what is included
Costs should be clear before you start. You usually pay for the medicine supplied at the prescribed dose. Your order may include the online consultation and clinical review as part of the service, depending on the package you select.
Delivery costs and follow up arrangements vary by provider. Repeat prescriptions are issued only after review, based on progress and side effects. You should also have the option to pause treatment if side effects are not manageable or if your circumstances change.
