Pharmacy offers a safe and effective way to lose weight

How do you select your diet choice?
Do you prefer to make online purchases for everything from cosmetics to food? 
Having stumbled across a website for weight loss using a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). It is of real concern that this on-line diet company is promoting itself as a much better alternative than their perceived competitors, including Lipotrim, a Gold Standard Diet.
What concerned me was their emphasis on the lack of a requirement for monitoring, their diet being a simple transaction to purchase diet formulas with no face-to-face support. In the case of Lipotrim, monitoring by a healthcare professional comes as standard, always through a supervising doctor or pharmacist. The insistence of monitoring by a healthcare professional when following the Lipotrim programme, they suggest, is a great reason for ordering their diet on-line.

It is inconvenient to have to visit a pharmacy or a doctor’s practice isn’t it?     diet choice

After all, all you need is a diet shake or a diet bar and you can lose weight?

Pharmacy has the power to tackle obesity with confidence

Pharmacy leads the way on tackling obesity with confidence


The benefit to both patients and the NHS from taking obesity seriously is tremendous. As healthcare professionals, pharmacists and GPs have a duty of care to not only treat obesity related illnesses but to prevent their occurrence in the first place.

The ever rising levels of weight-related medical conditions, from hypertension to type 2 diabetes, seems to be going unchecked. Sugar tax and banning fast-food advertising before the water-shed is a sticking plaster at best. Healthcare professionals are seemingly constrained in their ability to tackle obesity when it comes to effective therapies and it seems a lack of confidence when discussing the subject.

Telling people to eat less and exercise more is not winning the fight against obesity.


Pharmacy is well placed to deal with obesity issues with confidence as this pharmacist, working in a Well Pharmacy branch in London explains through a podcast on the Chemist & Druggist website:


The podcast sheds a light on the many issues that need addressing when talking to patients about excess weight, including discussing the effective Lipotrim Pharmacy Weight Management Programme.

Why it is wrong to label obesity as lazy and people fat shamed?

Obesity can be attributed to many things, from metabolism to hormones but the true underlying issue is our basic human instinct to eat. No l...
