WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
SUPPORTING YOU TO ACHIEVE HEALTHY, SUSTAINED WEIGHT LOSS.
At Dears Pharmacy, we understand that managing weight can be complex and personal. Our private Weight Management Services provide access to professional assessment, evidence-based advice, and — where clinically appropriate — prescription treatment options to support your journey toward a healthier weight.
Every person’s situation is unique. That’s why our approach begins with a confidential consultation with one of our trained and qualified prescribers. During this consultation, we’ll review your health, weight-related risks, previous treatments, and goals to identify the most suitable path forward.
Where clinically appropriate, your tailored plan may include one of several prescription-only treatment options, alongside guidance on nutrition, activity, and long-term maintenance.
Any prescription-only medicine is supplied only after a full clinical assessment identifies an appropriate need.
Following your consultation, you may be offered a treatment plan that could include one of the following classes of prescription medicine. Each has been shown to support weight management when combined with lifestyle change.
Our Weight Management Services include three treatment types:
Work on gut and brain receptors to help regulate appetite and food intake.
Weekly injection according to directions from your prescriber.
E.g: Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda.
These examples are provided for information only. Specific treatments are prescribed only after individual clinical evaluation, based on your medical history and suitability.
If a prescription medicine is appropriate, our pharmacy team will arrange safe supply, follow-up advice, and ongoing monitoring as required. Appointments can be booked online or in person across our pharmacy network.

To discuss safe, professional options for weight management, book your consultation today. Our friendly and experienced healthcare team will guide you through each step — from assessment to treatment and long-term support.
Our service is designed for adults who are overweight or living with obesity and would like professional support to reduce weight in a safe, evidence-based way. Eligibility for any prescription medicine will depend on your medical history, current health, and individual assessment by our prescriber.
Not necessarily. Prescription treatment is one possible element of our service, but it is not suitable for everyone. Your consultation focuses on understanding your goals, lifestyle, and health conditions. Your prescriber will discuss all appropriate options — which may include diet, activity, behavioural support, and, where clinically justified, prescription medicine.
There are several classes of prescription medicines that may support weight management, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, lipase inhibitors, and centrally acting appetite suppressants. Each works differently and is only prescribed when clinically appropriate. Your prescriber will explain all available options during your consultation.
All prescription medicines we provide are licensed for use in the UK and are supplied only after a clinical assessment. Every treatment carries potential risks and benefits. Your prescriber will explain how to use any medicine safely, discuss possible side effects, and monitor your progress to ensure the treatment remains appropriate.
No — the choice of medicine is always made by the prescriber after reviewing your health, medical history, and suitability. The final decision is based on safety, evidence, and professional judgement. Our goal is to find the safest and most effective plan for you as an individual.
Results vary between individuals and depend on the treatment plan, adherence, and lifestyle changes. Prescription medicines are not quick fixes — they are most effective when used alongside healthy eating, increased physical activity, and regular follow-up with our team. Sustainable weight management takes time, and our team will support you throughout the process.
