Weight Loss Treatment
Why Weight Management Matters
Managing your weight isn’t just about appearance — it plays a crucial role in your long-term health. Carrying excess weight can increase your risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and joint problems. But for many people, weight loss and keeping it off can be difficult, even with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
If you’ve tried lifestyle changes without success, you’re not alone. Prescription weight loss treatments can provide additional support when used alongside healthy habits — helping you stay on track and achieve sustainable results.
When Is Weight Loss Treatment Recommended?
Prescription treatments may be suitable if you:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above
- Have a BMI of 27 or above and other weight-related conditions (e.g. high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes)
- Have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise without success
It’s important to have a consultation with a healthcare professional to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you.
What Causes Weight Gain?
Weight gain is rarely about just one factor — it’s usually a combination of physical, emotional, and lifestyle elements.
Common Causes of Weight Gain
Sedentary lifestyle or low activity levels
Poor diet or high-calorie intake
Stress or emotional eating
Hormonal imbalances
Certain medications
Underlying health conditions (e.g. thyroid issues)
Understanding what’s contributing to your weight challenges can help shape the right approach to treatment.
Treatment Options for Weight Loss
Prescription weight loss medications are designed to support your efforts — not replace them. They work best when used alongside a healthy, calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise.
How Prescription Weight Loss Treatments Work
Most prescription weight loss medications help by:
- Reducing appetite or cravings
- Increasing feelings of fullness after eating
- Slowing digestion so you stay fuller for longer
Some treatments may also impact how your body absorbs or stores fat.
These medications are only available following a clinical assessment and should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
