What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are prescription medicines used to support weight management in adults who meet clinical criteria. They are designed to help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, so it can be easier to follow a reduced calorie diet.
They are not a quick fix. Best outcomes are usually seen when treatment is combined with long term lifestyle changes such as diet, activity, sleep, and structured support.
How Weight Loss Injections Work
These medicines act on hormones involved in appetite regulation. In plain terms, they can help you feel fuller sooner and for longer. Many people find this reduces snacking and portion sizes, which can support steady weight loss over time.
Dosing depends on the medicine and your individual plan. Some treatments are taken weekly. Dose increases may be gradual to help with tolerability.
How long treatment lasts varies. Some people use injections for months. Others continue longer under clinical review. Stopping can lead to weight regain for some people, particularly if lifestyle changes are not maintained.
What results can I expect?
Results vary between individuals. Your starting weight, dose, adherence, diet, and activity all matter. Your clinician will set realistic expectations and review progress during follow ups.
Are You Eligible? Fulham & Chelsea Patients
A clinical assessment is required before any medicine can be prescribed.
Common eligibility factors include:
Age requirement is usually 18 plus.
Body mass index criteria often start at BMI 30 or higher. Some people with weight related health conditions may be considered at a lower BMI threshold, such as BMI 27 or higher.
Medical considerations matter. Treatment may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It may also be unsuitable with certain medical conditions, or when taking medicines that could interact.
This is why an assessment is required. It is there to reduce risk, confirm suitability, and choose the safest option.

Your Treatment Journey Online Assessment to Doorstep Delivery
Online Consultation
You complete a health questionnaire. This includes your weight and height, medical history, and current medicines. You may be asked relevant safety questions so the prescriber can assess risk.
Clinician Review
A UK prescriber reviews your information. Safety checks are completed, including suitability and contraindications.
If you are not suitable, you are informed with clear next steps. This may include lifestyle advice, signposting, or alternative options to discuss with a healthcare professional.
Discreet Home Delivery in Fulham and Chelsea
Medicines are delivered in discreet packaging. Where a product requires temperature control, appropriate handling is used so it arrives in suitable condition for storage.
Ongoing Support and Follow ups
Follow ups focus on progress, tolerability, and safe use. Dose adjustments may be considered when clinically appropriate. You can also get advice on side effects and when to seek urgent care.
Benefits of Home Delivery vs In Clinic Pick Up
Home delivery supports consistent access to treatment, which helps continuity.
It can suit people with busy schedules.
It supports privacy, especially for patients who prefer discreet care.
You still have access to advice from a regulated pharmacy team.
Safety, Side Effects and What to Watch For
Like all medicines, weight loss injections can cause side effects. Gastrointestinal effects are common, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, or stomach discomfort. These often improve as your body adjusts.
Practical steps that may help include eating smaller meals, choosing lower fat foods, staying hydrated, and reducing alcohol.
Seek urgent medical help for severe symptoms, persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration, severe abdominal pain, or allergic reactions such as swelling and breathing difficulty.
Interactions and contraindications are assessed during prescribing. You will be clinically reviewed before anything is supplied.
How to Store and Use Your Injection Correctly
Many weight loss injections are stored in a fridge. Do not freeze. Keep the medicine in its original packaging and follow the patient information leaflet.
Injection technique is usually taught in simple steps, with guidance on where to inject and how to rotate sites.
If you miss a dose, follow clinician or pharmacy instructions. Do not take extra doses to make up for it without advice.
Weight Loss Injections vs Other Options
Injections can be effective for some people who meet criteria and have not achieved sufficient results with lifestyle changes alone.
Tablets may suit some patients, depending on health history and tolerability.
Diet only plans can work well, especially with structured support, but some people benefit from medicine to reduce appetite while building habits.
Your best option depends on your health profile, goals, and preferences.
