Weight Management Patient Information Hub

Everything you need to support you throughout your weight management journey with Melvin Pharmacy. From nutrition and movement to medication guidance, side effects and frequently asked questions, you can return to this hub whenever you need additional information.

Nourishing your body during treatment

Weight management medication works alongside changes to your diet and lifestyle. As your appetite may reduce during treatment, it is important to focus not only on how much you eat, but on giving your body the nutrition it needs.

Every Bit of Movement Counts

Everyone begins from a different starting point. You may not feel able to undertake structured exercise when you first begin your programme, and that’s okay. Speak to your pharmacist about what feels achievable for you.

Your Goals Are Personal to You

Your goals don't have to be about a number on the scales. Think about what losing weight and improving your health could allow you to do, enjoy or feel more comfortable doing.

Your Medication

Learn More About Your Prescribed Treatment. Information about your treatment, dosing, missed doses, side effects, storage and important safety information.
