Questions. Answered

We get asked lots of questions about our weight loss treatments, here are some of your most popular questions answered.

If your BMI is consistently over 30 and you’ve been struggling to lose weight on your own then using weight loss medication can be the solution for losing weight and keeping it off. Taking these medications for a year can mean a loss of total body weight of 3% to 12% more than that lost with lifestyle changes alone. While that might not seem like a lot losing 5% to 10% of your total weight can be massively beneficial and reduce your risk of complications from excess weight.

Answer a few quick questions here and our trained Crest Pharmacy specialist will review your answers. Our team will recommend the best treatment option and issue a private prescription. We’ll dispense and deliver your prescribed medication to your chosen address using DPD.

Clinical studies have shown that individuals may experience a loss of up to 15% of their body weight, although this varies from person to person.

Before considering any weight loss medication, it’s essential to prioritise healthy lifestyle changes. Incorporating a balanced diet and regular physical activity into your routine can be effective in achieving weight loss goals. By adopting a balanced and nutrient-rich diet, you equip your body with the essential nutrients it needs to function optimally while curbing excess calorie intake. Think of incorporating colourful vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats into your meals.

Mild side effects, such as nausea, constipation and diarrhea, are common. They may lessen over time. Rarely, serious side effects can happen.

The majority of our available weight loss medications will need to be taken weekly. Our pharmacy team will advise you on the dosage and schedule you’ll follow.

Wegovy and Mounjaro need to be injected into the abdomen or upper thigh for best results. Our pharmacy team will answer any questions you have about injection sites as part of your consultation.

Alcohol can reduce Mounjaro’s effectiveness and exacerbate side effects. Alcohol is often a source of empty calories and it’s best to avoid alcohol if you’re trying to lose weight
