How does online weight loss treatment work with I-Prescribe?

You start by completing a private online consultation about your health, weight, medicines and weight management goals. Your answers are reviewed by an appropriate healthcare professional. Prescription medicine is supplied only if treatment is clinically suitable, safe and appropriate for you.

Am I suitable for private weight loss treatment online?

Suitability depends on your BMI, medical history, current medicines, allergies, previous weight loss treatment, pregnancy or breastfeeding status and any conditions that may make treatment unsafe. Some patients may need GP or specialist input before treatment can be considered.

Can I get prescription weight loss medicine after an online consultation?

Yes, but only where clinically appropriate. Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription. If treatment is unsuitable, unsafe or further information is needed, medicine may be declined, delayed or referred for further clinical review.

What information do I need to provide before treatment is considered?

You may need to provide your height, weight, BMI, age, medical conditions, current medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, previous weight loss treatments and lifestyle information. You may also be asked for identity checks, supporting evidence or further clinical information.

How long does the online consultation take?

The consultation is designed to be completed efficiently, but it should still be answered carefully and honestly. The time needed depends on your medical history, current medicines and whether extra information is required before a clinical decision can be made.

Who reviews my weight loss consultation?

Your consultation is reviewed by an appropriate pharmacy or clinical professional. They assess your answers, suitability, safety risks and whether the requested treatment is appropriate before any prescription medicine is supplied.

Can my treatment request be declined?

Yes. Treatment may be declined if it is not clinically suitable, if your information suggests a safety concern, if further monitoring is needed, or if the requested medicine is not appropriate for your circumstances.

Do I need to upload evidence of my weight or BMI?

You may be asked to provide evidence such as recent weight, height, BMI information or supporting photographs where clinically necessary. This helps reduce inappropriate prescribing and supports safer treatment decisions.

Clinical protocol

Key checks before treatment is considered.

8 entries
What is the BMI threshold for treatment?

Many prescription weight management medicines are generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or over, or a BMI of 27 or over with a weight-related health problem such as hypertension, high cholesterol or sleep apnoea. The final decision depends on the specific medicine and your clinical assessment.

Is my GP notified of my treatment?

We recommend keeping your GP informed so your care remains joined up and safe. You may be asked whether you consent to a treatment summary being shared. If there are clinical concerns, GP involvement may be recommended before treatment can continue.

How is my identity verified?

Identity and age checks may be required to help ensure treatment is supplied to the correct person and to reduce inappropriate or unsafe prescribing. You may be asked to confirm personal details, address details or provide additional information if checks cannot be completed.

Can I order for a friend or family member?

No. Prescription medicine is patient-specific. The person who will use the treatment must complete their own consultation, provide their own medical information and pass the relevant clinical and identity checks.

What is the maximum age for treatment?

Online weight loss treatment is normally considered for adults only. Patients outside the usual age range, older patients, patients with frailty or patients with complex medical histories may need additional review, GP involvement or specialist monitoring.

What medical conditions can affect suitability?

Suitability may be affected by conditions involving the pancreas, gallbladder, stomach, kidneys, liver, thyroid, diabetes, eating disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant mental health history. The clinical team will consider your full history before treatment is approved.

Can I use weight loss treatment if I have had bariatric surgery?

Patients who have had bariatric surgery may need specialist review before weight loss medicine is considered. Absorption, nutritional status, weight trajectory and surgical history can affect whether treatment is appropriate.

How often is ongoing treatment reviewed?

Ongoing treatment should be reviewed periodically to check weight change, side effects, tolerability, current medicines, safety and whether continuing treatment remains appropriate. Repeat supply should not be treated as automatic.

Mounjaro data

Tirzepatide dosing, safety and storage.

8 entries
How does Mounjaro's dual-action work?

Mounjaro contains tirzepatide. It acts on GIP and GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite, satiety and blood sugar control. For weight management, it should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity where clinically appropriate.

What is the Mounjaro titration schedule?

Mounjaro is usually taken once weekly. Treatment commonly starts at 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then increases to 5 mg once weekly. Further dose increases are made gradually only if clinically appropriate and tolerated. Always follow the dose prescribed for you.

Can Mounjaro pens be stored out of the fridge?

Mounjaro KwikPen should usually be stored in a refrigerator at 2 C to 8 C and must not be frozen. After first use, the KwikPen can be stored unrefrigerated, not above 30 C, for up to 30 days before it must be discarded.

What if I miss my Mounjaro dose?

If you miss a dose, follow the patient leaflet and the advice given by your clinician or pharmacist. Do not take extra doses to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure, contact the pharmacy team before using the pen.

Is Mounjaro safe for Type 2 Diabetics?

Mounjaro is also used in type 2 diabetes, but it must be assessed carefully. If you use insulin or a sulfonylurea, the risk of low blood sugar may increase and your diabetes treatment may need review by your doctor or specialist team.

Where should I inject Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is usually injected under the skin in an approved injection area such as the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Rotate injection sites and follow the patient leaflet and the instructions provided with your medicine.

Can Mounjaro affect the contraceptive pill?

Mounjaro may affect how quickly the stomach empties, which can affect absorption of oral medicines in some situations. Patients using oral contraception should follow the patient leaflet and clinical advice, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose.

What are common Mounjaro side effects?

Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, reduced appetite and abdominal discomfort. Seek clinical advice if symptoms are severe, persistent, worsening or associated with dehydration or severe abdominal pain.

What is the expected weight loss with Wegovy?

Weight loss varies from person to person and is not guaranteed. Wegovy is intended to be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Ongoing treatment should be reviewed for response, tolerability, safety and clinical suitability.

Wegovy vs Ozempic: What's the difference?

Both medicines contain semaglutide, but they are not the same product and are used under different licences, doses and clinical pathways. Wegovy is used for weight management where suitable. Ozempic is used for type 2 diabetes. You should not swap between them unless assessed and prescribed by an appropriate clinician.

How long does a Saxenda pen last?

Saxenda is a daily liraglutide injection. How long one pen lasts depends on your prescribed dose. At the usual 3 mg daily maintenance dose, an 18 mg pen lasts 6 days. During dose escalation, the pen may last longer. Follow your prescribed schedule and do not adjust your dose without clinical advice.

Can I take Wegovy and Saxenda together?

No. Wegovy and Saxenda are both GLP-1 based treatments and should not normally be used together. Combining weight loss injections may increase the risk of side effects and is not appropriate unless a specialist clinician has specifically instructed it.

Does Wegovy cause muscle loss?

Any meaningful weight loss can include some loss of lean mass as well as fat. This is not unique to Wegovy. A suitable diet with adequate protein, physical activity and resistance exercise may help preserve muscle. Patients with frailty, eating disorders or rapid weight loss should seek clinical review.

How do GLP-1 medicines reduce appetite?

GLP-1 medicines act on pathways involved in appetite and fullness. Some patients feel fuller sooner and experience reduced appetite. They should still be used alongside appropriate nutrition, activity and clinical monitoring.

Can I use GLP-1 treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Weight loss injections are not normally suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell the clinical team if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, breastfeeding or think you may be pregnant before starting or continuing treatment.

Can GLP-1 treatment affect other medicines?

GLP-1 medicines can affect appetite, digestion and sometimes the timing of stomach emptying. This may matter for some medicines. Always disclose all prescribed, over-the-counter and herbal medicines during your consultation.

Does Rybelsus work as well as injections?

Rybelsus is an oral semaglutide medicine licensed for type 2 diabetes. It should not be presented as a standard licensed weight loss treatment. Any request involving weight management requires careful clinical review and may not be appropriate.

How do I manage Mysimba side effects?

Mysimba can cause side effects such as nausea, headache, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness or sleep disturbance. Taking it exactly as prescribed, following dose escalation instructions and keeping hydrated may help. Seek medical advice urgently for seizures, severe mood changes, suicidal thoughts, allergic reaction symptoms, chest pain or symptoms of uncontrolled blood pressure.

Should I take a multivitamin with Orlistat?

Orlistat can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Some patients are advised to take a multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E and K. This should usually be taken at bedtime or at least 2 hours away from orlistat, so it is not taken at the same time as the medicine.

Is Xenical stronger than over-the-counter Orlistat?

Xenical contains 120 mg orlistat and is a prescription-only medicine. Some over-the-counter orlistat products contain a lower 60 mg dose. The right option depends on BMI, medical history, medicines, diet and clinical suitability rather than strength alone.

What is the difference between Orlistat and Xenical?

Orlistat is the active ingredient. Xenical is a branded version of orlistat. These medicines work in the gut by reducing absorption of some dietary fat and should be used with an appropriate calorie-controlled, lower-fat diet.

How should Orlistat be taken with meals?

Orlistat is usually taken with meals that contain fat. If a meal is missed or contains no fat, a dose may not be needed. A lower-fat diet helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects and supports safer use.

Who may not be suitable for Mysimba?

Mysimba requires careful screening. It may not be suitable for patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizure risk, certain mental health histories, eating disorders, opioid use, some medicine interactions or other contraindications.

Can tablets be prescribed instead of injections?

Some patients may be considered for tablet or capsule options, but suitability depends on the medicine, BMI, medical history, current medicines, side effect profile and clinical assessment. The safest option is not the same for every patient.

Safety protocols

Can I drink alcohol on Wegovy/Mounjaro?

Alcohol is not automatically prohibited for every patient, but it may worsen nausea, reflux, dehydration risk and calorie intake. Heavy alcohol use may also affect clinical suitability. You should disclose your alcohol intake during the consultation and seek advice if alcohol makes side effects worse.

What are the signs of Pancreatitis?

Seek urgent medical advice if you develop severe and persistent abdominal pain, especially if the pain spreads to your back or is associated with vomiting. Do not continue treatment until you have been medically assessed if pancreatitis is suspected.

Will weight loss medication affect my periods?

Weight change, calorie restriction, stress and changes in metabolic health can affect menstrual cycles. If your period is late, unusual or you could be pregnant, take a pregnancy test and contact a healthcare professional before continuing treatment. Weight loss medicines are generally not suitable during pregnancy.

Do I need to eat even if I'm not hungry?

You should not force large meals, but you still need adequate nutrition, fluids and regular balanced intake. Very low food intake can increase tiredness, dizziness, constipation and nutrient deficiency risk. If you cannot keep food or fluids down, or you are eating very little for several days, contact the pharmacy or your GP.

Can I donate blood while on treatment?

Blood donation rules depend on your health, medicines and the reason you are taking treatment. Check with the blood donation service before donating. Do not donate if you feel unwell, dehydrated, dizzy, are losing weight rapidly or have been advised not to donate by a clinician.

What is "GLP-1 Constipation" and how to treat it?

Constipation can occur with GLP-1 medicines because appetite and gut movement may change. Simple measures include increasing fluids, fibre where tolerated, gentle activity and regular meals. A pharmacist can advise on suitable laxatives if needed. Seek urgent advice for severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, blood in stools or inability to pass stools or wind.

When should I stop treatment and seek medical help?

Seek urgent medical help for severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction, persistent vomiting, dehydration, fainting, chest pain, severe mood changes or symptoms that feel serious or unusual. Contact the pharmacy if side effects are persistent or difficult to manage.

What are possible gallbladder warning symptoms?

Seek medical advice if you develop persistent upper abdominal pain, pain after fatty meals, pain spreading to the shoulder, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, pale stools or dark urine. Rapid weight loss can increase gallstone risk in some patients.

Pharmacy logistics

Delivery, cold-chain and repeat supply information.

4 entries
How is cold-chain integrity maintained?

Cold-chain medicines should be packed using suitable temperature-control packaging and dispatched through an appropriate tracked delivery route. On arrival, check the parcel promptly and follow the storage instructions. If the medicine appears damaged, frozen, warm for a prolonged period or delayed beyond the expected window, contact the pharmacy before using it.

What happens if my delivery is delayed?

Check the tracking first and contact the pharmacy as soon as possible if the parcel is delayed. The pharmacy will review the medicine type, time in transit, delivery conditions and whether replacement or further advice is required. Do not use temperature-sensitive medicine if you are unsure it has remained suitable.

Can I change my delivery address?

You may be able to change your delivery address before the order is dispensed or dispatched. Once a parcel has been handed to the courier, address changes may not be possible. Prescription medicines should only be delivered to a safe and appropriate address for the patient named on the prescription.

Do you offer a subscription service?

Repeat supply is not automatic. Ongoing weight loss treatment requires periodic clinical review to confirm response, side effects, current weight, medicine suitability and safety. Where available, reminder or repeat-order support should still include appropriate clinical checks before medicine is supplied.

Important: This information is general guidance only. Prescription weight loss medicine is supplied only if clinically suitable after an online consultation and professional review.
