WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
SUPPORTING YOU TO ACHIEVE HEALTHY, SUSTAINED WEIGHT LOSS.
At Dears Pharmacy in Edinburgh and Fife, we know that weight management can be complex and highly personal. Our private weight management service offers professional healthcare assessments, evidence-based advice, and, where clinically appropriate, prescription weight loss options to support your journey toward a healthier weight.
Every individual’s needs are unique. That is why our approach begins with a confidential consultation with one of our trained prescribers. During this session, we review your health, weight-related risks, previous treatments, and goals to identify the most suitable plan for you.
When appropriate, your tailored plan may include GLP1 or GLP1/GIP receptor agonists, lipase inhibitors, or other safe weight management medicines, paired with lifestyle and nutrition guidance and long-term weight loss maintenance planning.
All prescription medicines are supplied only after a full clinical assessment confirms a suitable need.
After your consultation, you may be offered a treatment plan that includes one of the following prescription weight loss medicine categories, each shown to support weight management when combined with lifestyle changes.
Our Weight Management Services include three treatment types:
Target brain receptors to help regulate appetite and reduce food intake.
Weekly injection administered as directed by your prescriber.
E.g: Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda.
Reduce fat absorption from food in the digestive system.
Capsules taken according to your prescriber’s instructions.
E.g: Generic Orlistat, Xenical.
Influence the brain’s appetite pathways to help reduce cravings.
Tablets taken according to your prescriber’s instructions.
E.g: Mysimba (naltrexone/bupropion).
These examples are for information only. Treatments are prescribed only after an individual clinical assessment that considers your medical history, current medications, and weight management objectives.
If a prescription medicine is appropriate, our pharmacy team will arrange a safe supply, ongoing advice, and monitoring as needed. Appointments can be booked online or in person at our Edinburgh and Fife pharmacies.
