WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

SUPPORTING YOU TO ACHIEVE HEALTHY, SUSTAINED WEIGHT LOSS.

Combining safe medical options with lifestyle support, we help you make informed decisions about your weight under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals.

At Amiry & Gilbride Pharmacy in Greater Glasgow, we understand that managing weight can be complex and personal. Our private weight management service provides access to a professional healthcare assessment, evidence-based guidance, and, where clinically appropriate, prescription weight loss options to support your journey toward a healthier weight.

Every person’s situation is unique. That is why our approach begins with a confidential consultation with one of our trained and qualified prescribers. During this consultation, we review your health, weight-related risks, previous treatments, and goals to identify the most suitable path forward.

Any prescription-only medicine is supplied only after a full clinical assessment identifies an appropriate need.

TREATMENT TYPES

Following your consultation, you may be offered a treatment plan that could include one of the following classes of prescription weight loss medicine. Each option has been shown to support weight management when combined with lifestyle change.

Weekly injection employed according to directions from your prescriber.

INHIBITORS

Reduce fat absorption from food in the gastrointestinal tract.

FAQs

Our weight management service is designed for adults who are overweight or living with obesity and want professional support to lose weight safely and effectively.

Eligibility for prescription weight loss medicine depends on your medical history, current health, and an individual assessment by a registered prescriber. We also support people with conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure as part of a clinically supervised plan.

Not necessarily. Prescription medicine is one option within our service, but it may not be suitable for everyone.

Your consultation focuses on understanding your health, lifestyle, and weight management goals. Your prescriber will discuss all appropriate approaches, which may include dietary advice, physical activity, behavioural support, and, where clinically justified, safe prescription weight loss medication.

Our pharmacy weight loss service may offer several classes of clinically supervised prescription treatments:

  • GLP-1 and GLP1/GIP receptor agonists (e.g., Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda)
  • Lipase inhibitors (e.g., Orlistat, Xenical)
  • Centrally acting appetite suppressants (e.g., Mysimba)

Each works differently and is prescribed only when clinically appropriate. Your prescriber will explain all options during your consultation.
