Weight loss treatment
There are a range of different weight loss treatments available that can help you reach your desired weight. Whether you take weight loss injections or tablets, you’ll need to follow a diet and exercise plan to get the best results. Read on to learn more about the different types of weight loss medication available from ASDA Online Doctor to help you find the best treatment for you.
Weight loss medication is split into 2 categories: weight loss injections and weight loss tablets. The weight loss injections currently licensed for use in the UK are:
The weight loss tablets licensed for use in the UK are:
You can start weight loss medication if you meet the criteria for taking it. This usually involves having a certain body mass index (BMI) or weight-related health conditions, but each type of weight loss medication has different criteria. Most medications require a prescription, except alli which you can get over the counter, although a pharmacist or doctor still needs to check your suitability. When you take weight loss medications, you should commit to a low-calorie diet and regular exercise.
To support you on your journey, our doctors and in-house nutritionist will provide you with extensive information and advice on how to take your medication, the best diet to speed up weight loss and avoid side effects, and how to establish a regular exercise routine. If you need any help or have questions, our doctors are available through your patient account whenever you need them.
Weight loss injections can reduce your appetite and make you feel fuller between meals. This is because they work on the parts of your brain responsible for hunger and appetite control. Wegovy and Mounjaro are taken once a week, while Saxenda is taken daily.
You can get weight loss injections through our service if you have a BMI of:
- 30 or above
- between 27 to 30 with a weight-related medical problem or risk factor, such as high blood pressure or sleep apnoea
Always be honest and accurate with your doctor. This is important because weight loss medication could cause serious illness and severe side effects if it is not suitable for you.
If you’re not sure which weight loss injection is best for you, we’ve created a comparison table with the 3 most common treatments. You can also discuss your suitability for each treatment with one of our doctors.
Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for weight loss medication?
To be eligible for weight loss medication, you usually need to have a certain BMI. This is normally defined as a BMIover 30, or between 27 and 30 with a weight related medical condition or risk factor. You’ll also need to be over 18. Each weight loss medication has its own set of prescribing criteria. A doctor will check your medical history and current medications to make sure your chosen weight loss medication is suitable. If you request a treatment through our service, our doctors will prescribe the treatment if you’re eligible. If you’re not, they can discuss alternatives that work in a similar way.
How do weight loss injections work?
Weight loss injections work by mimicking hormones in your body responsible for hunger. GLP-1 (Wegovy, Mounjaro, and liraglutide) and GIP (Mounjaro) send signals to your brain when you eat that trick your brain into thinking you’re full, even after eating less. They also delay the emptying of your stomach, making you feel fuller for longer.
When people follow a diet and exercise plan, they often find it difficult to reduce their calorie intake or snack less because they still feel hungry. As weight loss injections reduce hunger, it’s easier to lose weight.
How do weight loss tablets work?
This depends on the weight loss tablet. Orlistat tablets (Xenical, orlistat generic tablets, and Alli) reduce the amount of fat you absorb from your meals by around a third. This helps you to lose weight as you’re consuming less fat.
Mysimba affects the parts of your brain responsible for appetite, cravings, and energy. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but it can reduce hunger and prevent cravings while following a diet plan.
What weight loss treatment is best for me?
Which weight loss treatment is best for you depends on lots of things, such as personal preference, your BMI, medical history, current medications, and whether you’d rather take an injection or tablet. If you’re still not sure after reading through this page, you can speak to one of our doctors for more advice.
Can I switch from one weight loss injection to another?
Yes, switching your weight loss injection is simple with Asda Online Doctor.
You can move between Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Nevolat quickly and safely if your doctor approves.
With our service, you only need to wait 7 days after stopping your last treatment before starting your next one. For example, if you want to stop taking Mounjaro and start taking Wegovy, you would need to stop taking Mounjaro for 7 days before starting your first dose of Wegovy.
If you’re new to Asda Online Doctor:
Request the medication you’d like to switch to. Our doctors will review your health and medical history to check if it’s suitable. One of our doctors will assess the right dose for you based on the dose you were taking for the medication you are switching from.
If you’re already with us:
You’ll usually be able to switch between Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Nevolat. However you will need to complete a short health questionnaire in your account. Your doctor will then confirm if the new treatment is right for you before approving the switch. If approved, your doctor will be able to guide you through which dose may be most appropriate to switch to based on what dose you are taking on your current medication.
