What are the best drugs for weight loss?

Many people all over the U.K. struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. This can be for many different reasons, but most commonly metabolism, body type and emotional or mental health are the biggest barriers in weight loss. When these factors are difficult to overcome, doctors may suggest a medical weight loss route through the use of appetite suppression weight loss drugs.  These weight loss drugs can be either slimming pills or weight loss injections.

Our clinical team constantly review medical weight loss medications ensuring that we offer the most safe and effective options whilst providing options for a range of medical histories.

We’ve compiled a list of the best drugs for weight loss to be used alongside our ongoing motivational support. You can be confident that when sourcing our medications through a secure supply chain, that we can guarantee the quality and safety of the drugs. Bodyline is CQC accredited, so you can be sure our programmes and prescriptive drugs are trustworthy.

Phentermine

Phentermine is popular appetite suppressant pill used to decrease hunger, curb cravings, and aid in weight loss. Phentermine is FDA approved and known as the No. 1 slimming pill in the USA.   The slimming medication has been proven to be a fast and safe weight loss solution for many people. Often prescribed for 3 months, it is usually a ‘pink pill’ that has helped millions of people to lose weight in an efficient and controlled manner with minimal side effects. Reduction in both weight and waist circumference are shown to average between 5% and 10%.

Phentermine works best for those who are prone to over eating, and research shows those who have higher appetites are more likely to lose weight on the drug.

Mysimba

Mysimba is a medication, in a tablet format, made up of two drugs, naltrexone and bupropion. Working together, they reduce cravings and suppress appetite, making it easier to resist snacking and eating out of boredom, therefore aiding weight loss. Mysimba, alongside diet and exercise, is proven to reduce more body weight than just diet and exercise alone!

The medication is often taken while individuals are undertaking a low-carb diet and an increase in exercise. So, at Bodyline, we provide constant support and offer personalised action plans covering diet, exercise, and nutrition to ensure our clients achieve their goals. Plus, our one-to-one appointments deliver advice and motivation!

Diethylpropion

Diethylpropion is another appetite suppressant pill used over a longer period of time than phentermine. Users find a greater effect of diethylpropion on the reduction of waist size, and one study reported an average loss of 1.25lbs a week!

It works similarly to phentermine in that it is an appetite suppressant used to decrease hunger and curb cravings and taken in the form of a pill. It works in the appetite centre of the brain to encourage weight loss!

Saxenda (Liraglutide)

Saxenda is a once-daily weight loss slimming injection containing the active drug Liraglutide and comes in a prefilled pen, the SlimPen. It acts as a substitute for an appetite hormone in the body that responds to our digestion, regulating hunger levels and thus reducing appetite. It helps to regulate appetite therefore aiding in weight loss!

There are many research papers that credit Saxenda’s effectiveness for weight loss, with one recent study recording a decrease of 5-10% body mass for most subjects in the trial. It helps individuals keep to a calorie-controlled diet and meet personal weight loss goals!

Bodyline offers a fully supported SlimPen programme, led by a clinical team. Our research shows that the regular support that our clinicians provide is the most effective approach to your weight loss journey.

Weight loss surgery is a very significant step for many people struggling with chronic obesity as they move towards achieving a healthier lifestyle and losing weight for their overall wellbeing. However, some patients, post-surgery, may need additional support to maintain or enhance their weight loss journey.
If you’ve undergone a bariatric surgery, then you know the hurdles and hoops that has to be jumped through to get the treatment guaranteed to help you overcome severe obesity. The invasive procedures physically make the stomach smaller in one way or another, so you feel fuller sooner and consume fewer calories. It’s a total lifestyle change and transformation, one that can be tough to push through.
Patients who have used a gastric band have undergone a significant change in their lives in the battle against chronic obesity. They’ve made a positive step already as they move closer to the goal of living a healthier lifestyle. However, some patients may find their results start to wane, plateau, or slowly reverse, meaning they must rely on alternative support to maintain or enhance their weight loss journey. Mounjaro has been recognised as a potential complementary treatment option in the years following a gastric band operation, but it’s natural to consider the safety and effectiveness of these weight loss medications.
