Video: Guide to Prescription Weight Loss Treatments
Watch our guide to understanding the differences between weight loss medication injections and tablets, and how to choose the right one for you.
Best Weight Loss Injections UK (GLP-1 Medication)
GLP-1 injections are currently considered the best medical option for significant weight loss. They work by mimicking natural hormones that tell your brain you are full.
- Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): Often cited as the most effective option. Clinical data from the SURMOUNT-1 trial showed patients achieving up to 22.5% weight loss[1]. It is recommended by NICE (TA1026) for weight management.
- Wegovy (Semaglutide): A highly effective weekly injection. Beyond weight loss (approx 15%[2]), the SELECT trial recently showed it may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by 20%[3].
- Saxenda (Liraglutide): An established daily injection that has been a trusted option for managing obesity for many years.
Weight Loss Pills & Tablets
If you prefer a pill to lose weight rather than an injection, we offer effective oral treatments.
- Orlistat (Generic Xenical): The most popular weight loss pill in the UK. It prevents your body from absorbing about 30% of the fat from your meals.
- Alli: A lower-dose version of Orlistat available as an over-the-counter option (pharmacy medicine).
NHS vs Private Weight Loss Injections
Many patients search for "weight loss injections NHS" hoping for free treatment. While drugs like Wegovy are available on the NHS, access is strictly limited to Tier 3 weight management services, often with long waiting lists.
Buying private weight loss injections via UK Meds offers immediate access for eligible patients:
- Speed: No waiting lists; next-day delivery available.
- Choice: Access to prescribed Mounjaro or prescribed Wegovy based on your preference, not just what is available.
- Cheapest Options: While private care has a cost, we strive to offer the cheapest weight loss injections possible by monitoring market prices and offering subscriptions.
FitXpress: Instant Safety Checks
We use FitXpress technology to ensure your safety. Instead of waiting days for a decision, our AI-powered system verifies your BMI instantly using a simple photo upload.
How FitXpress Works
- Choose: Select your weight loss medication.
- Consult: Complete the medical questionnaire.
- Scan: Upload two photos (fully clothed, A-pose) to verify your BMI.
- Approve: A registered doctor reviews your data and issues the prescription.
Top Tips for a Successful Scan:
- Avoid baggy or loose clothing (this helps the AI measure accurately).
- Stand in a well-lit area against a plain, light-coloured wall.
- Use the Voice Assistant feature if taking photos yourself.
- Ensure your whole body is visible in the frame.
Understanding Obesity: Causes & Risks
Obesity is a medical condition defined by an excessive accumulation of body fat that presents a risk to health[4]. In the UK, it is estimated that 1 in 4 adults are living with obesity[5].
What causes weight gain?
Weight gain happens when you consume more calories than your body burns. Factors include unbalanced diet, inactivity, medications, and medical conditions. Other influences include ageing, menopause, genetics, and stress[6].
What are the health risks?
Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea, heart disease, and high blood pressure[7]. Additionally, obesity has been linked to lower energy levels and fatigue[8].
What are the benefits of losing weight?
Losing even 5% of your weight can help reduce blood pressure[9], improve cholesterol, and boost confidence.
How to Maximise Results: Lifestyle Changes
The best and most sustainable way to treat obesity is a weight loss journey that includes lifestyle changes[10]. Weight loss medication works best when paired with:
- Diet: A calorie-controlled diet focusing on nutrient-dense foods.
- Activity: Regular physical activity improves how effective weight loss medications are[11].
- Consistency: Consistently performing exercise is key to maintaining results over the long term[12].
Some patients also explore NAD+ injections to support general wellbeing alongside their weight loss journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do weight loss injections work?
GLP-1 injections work by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. This makes you feel fuller sooner and for longer, helping you eat less without feeling hungry.
Are weight loss injections safe?
Yes, when prescribed by a qualified professional. Medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro have undergone rigorous clinical trials and are approved by the MHRA. However, they can have side effects (like nausea), which is why a medical consultation is required.
Do Wegovy pens need new needles?
No. Wegovy pens are pre-filled and come with integrated needles (or needles provided in the pack, depending on the device generation). You do not need to buy separate needles or attach them manually like you do with Saxenda, making Wegovy simpler to use.
Can I get weight loss injections near me?
UK Meds operates online but delivers to every address in the UK. Whether you are in London, Manchester, or a rural area, you can order weight loss injections online and have them delivered to your door the next day.
What is the best pill for weight loss?
Orlistat (Xenical) is considered the best weight loss pill available on prescription in the UK. It blocks about a third of the fat you eat from being digested. It is ideal if you prefer a non-injectable option.
