How to buy weight loss medication while the NHS waiting list persists

Weight loss medication, like Wegovy and Mounjaro, have been making the headlines increasingly in recent weeks. Why?

Despite weight loss medication being proven to reduce body weight by up to 25%, they’re still not widely available on the NHS. We’ve read heart-breaking stories recently about people waiting for knee and hip surgery or trying to overcome a life-long battle with obesity but they’re unable to access the weight loss medication via the NHS.

We're NHS-ready

As an NHS-partner, CheqUp is hoping to support more people living with obesity once the NHS has approved weight loss medications to be available more publicly.

However, in the meantime, for people looking to buy weight loss medication in the UK, the primary route is still to buy it privately. Whether you call it a slimming injection, Semaglutide, Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Tirzepatide or a GLP-1 medication - the principle is the same.

These weight loss injections suppress the body’s natural hunger signals which helps people to eat less and lose weight. They have been proven to be highly effective at helping people to lose weight, with trials reporting up to 25% weight loss from weight loss medication.

Building long-term habits is key

We were delighted to see the recent news coverage reminding people that weight loss medication should be combined with a guided weight-loss program to provide a balanced approach across diet, exercise, fat loss, building muscle etc. This helps to build long-term habits to maximise the chance of sustainable weight loss..

We’re proud to offer 1:1 guidance - free of charge - to every CheqUp customer from our brilliant team of Health & Wellness Coaches.
