Choose a branch and a time. No GP referral needed.
Your pharmacist measures your weight and blood pressure and asks about your health and any medicines.
You decide together what is right for you. If something isn’t suitable, the pharmacist explains why and what else could help.
Regular reviews help you keep going and let the pharmacist check everything is still right for you.
Common questions
Who is this service for?
Adults aged 18 and over who want support with their weight. The pharmacist will check what is clinically appropriate for you — not every option is suitable for everyone.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what is suitable for you. Your pharmacist explains all costs before you agree to anything. There’s nothing to pay online.
I’m pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding — can I use it?
Please tell the pharmacist. Some options aren’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and they’ll advise you on what is.
Will my GP be told?
With your consent, yes — it keeps your care joined up and safe.
Is weight support available on the NHS?
Your GP practice can tell you about NHS weight management support in your area. This is a private service.
