Is it right for me?

Weight loss treatment is usually for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our pharmacist will check your BMI and your health in person before offering any treatment. You can check your BMI on our homepage first.
