Losing weight is about more than willpower. Obesity is a complex medical condition influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism and environment. At Cotham Pharmacy we offer a range of clinically proven weight loss treatments that work alongside lifestyle changes to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
Our specialist pharmacist will carry out a thorough consultation to assess your suitability for treatment, discuss your weight loss goals and recommend the most appropriate option for you. All treatments are prescribed and monitored by our clinical team with ongoing support throughout your journey.
