Weight Loss

What is obesity and how is it treated?

Obesity is a long-term condition where excess body fat starts to affect your health, based on your body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. It raises the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. In England, 66% of adults are overweight or living with obesity (Health Survey for England 2024).

Treatment options

  • Lifestyle changes: a balanced, lower-calorie diet, more activity and behavioural support.
  • Pharmacy medicine: orlistat (sold as Alli).
  • Prescription-only medicines: a prescriber assesses whether these are suitable when lifestyle changes are not enough.
  • NHS services: specialist weight management and, for severe obesity, bariatric surgery.

“Use these for my vaccinations and to have my medication delivered locally since around I think October/November 2022. Always great service and delivered with a smile, offered follow up calls for new medication to make sure I'm getting on ok with it and anytime I need to call it's never an issue. Recently had a couple of visits to get my ear wax removed in both ears. Initial check-up was thorough and after using the recommended drops for a couple of weeks the removal went well. Staff were kind and well informed. Would definitely recommend their services.”

“Wish I had found Mail My Meds sooner! Previously used well known online pharmacy for delivery but experienced problems so changed to MailMyMeds. Absolutely brilliant. Meds arrive same/next day by hand delivery and now have total peace of mind and trust in meds being received safely and in time. Thank you so much.”
