What is Medicated Weight Loss?

Medicated Weight Loss can help you achieve a sustained and healthy weight loss, with ongoing advice and support alongside a prescription medication treatment. This medication works to decrease your appetite and therefore reduce your food intake, which used in conjunction with a calorie-controlled diet and increased exercise has been shown to aid weight loss.

Is Medicated Weight Loss suitable for me?
