Weight Loss Treatment
Medical Weight Loss Treatment in Scotland
Losing weight can be challenging, and sometimes lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough.
We offer a range of weight management treatments through our pharmacy, including GLP-1 medicines, GLP-1/GIP medicines, appetite-regulating tablets and fat-binding treatments.
Our pharmacy team can help you understand the different options and assess which treatments may be suitable for you.
All treatments are subject to an individual clinical assessment and suitability criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight will I lose?
Everyone responds differently to treatment. The amount of weight lost depends on the treatment used, your starting weight, lifestyle and individual response.
There is no guaranteed amount of weight loss.
How quickly will I lose weight?
Weight loss is usually gradual. Some treatments are also started at a lower dose and increased gradually.
Your pharmacist will explain what you can expect from your chosen treatment.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes. A clinical assessment is required before starting weight management treatment.
This helps us determine whether treatment is appropriate and identify any medical conditions or medicines that need to be considered.
Will I receive support after starting treatment?
Absolutely. Our pharmacists provide ongoing reviews, dose adjustments where appropriate and continued advice throughout your treatment.
Can everyone use weight loss medication?
No. Different treatments have different eligibility criteria and may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions or circumstances.
Your pharmacist will assess your individual suitability.
Can I switch treatments later?
In many cases, yes. If another treatment becomes more suitable, your prescribing pharmacist will discuss your options.
What happens if I stop treatment?
Weight management is a long-term process. Some people may regain weight after stopping treatment, particularly if appetite increases.
Developing sustainable lifestyle habits alongside treatment is therefore an important part of long-term weight management.
