Pharmacy can save the Ireland healthcare service now

With the Ireland healthcare service in turmoil, grassroots recruitment issues and limited bed capacity in secondary care are once again taking the brunt of the anger.
Recently Emily O’Conor wrote in the Irish Times an impassioned article titled:
Infogram - Ireland Health Service - National Patient Experience Survey results

Emergency staff work hard enough – it’s the system that’s not working
Government needs to focus on recruitment and bed capacity to solve crisis


The demand being placed on the financially stretched Ireland healthcare service is immense and no wonder the results were far from excellent in the first National Patient Experience Survey (May 2017).



Pharmacy can take the lead.

Very Low Calorie Diets - are they all the same?



It is often asked whether the Lipotrim Ireland diet is the same as Exante, Nupo or even the newly emerged NewWeigh.

Our Lipotrim Ireland helpline (tel: 015 255636) gets patients regularly calling, confused as to whether Lipotrim has been re-branded or re-formulated or has been discontinued in Ireland.


The simple answer to all these questions is NO.

Lipotrim is still Lipotrim
No re-branding
No re-formulating

Many people misunderstand there is real science behind a successful and safe diet like Lipotrim.
Not all diets are the same.

VLCDs are defined simply by being a nutritionally complete diet, with an intake at or below 800 Calories per day.

So how safe and effective are VLCDs?
Are all VLCDs the same?
Why should the Lipotrim pharmacy weight management programme be the diet of choice?

In this article we look into these dieting questions and discover the truth of what makes a safe and effective VLCD.

Please take the time to read the following article on the Lipotrim Ireland blog:

Lipotrim in Ireland - 2017 and beyond

Lipotrim in Ireland - the story so far


Lipotrim has been available in the Republic of Ireland since 2004 and is still, in 2017, helping many people in Ireland lose their excess body weight with the help of their Pharmacist. 

It is still the same Lipotrim programme that is offered in the UK, exclusively by healthcare professionals since 1987. The results achieved to date in Ireland (see below) highlights why Lipotrim is destined to go from strength to strength in 2017 and for many years to come.





The Lipotrim programme has helped many thousands of people, with documented safety and efficacy evidence in the management of weight co-morbidities, especially hypertension and Type 2 diabetes.

Losing weight under the guidance of a healthcare professional, such as a Pharmacist, is proving to be the ideal platform for dealing with the obesity epidemic across the UK and Ireland.

Healthcare professionals are already offering services such as smoking cessation clinics and travel clinics, so the addition of the Lipotrim weight management programme fits perfectly. 


Lipotrim in Ireland - weight loss results



The documented evidence, shown above, demonstrates the Lipotrim weight management programme in Ireland has helped many thousands of people lose 5% or more of their initial weight. 

Within this audit it was demonstrated that:

  • 1290 patients who were previously overweight BMI 25 to 30, now have a healthy BMI <25 proving obesity prevention
  • 2887 patients who were obese, were no longer obese after dieting with Lipotrim
  • 1583 patients who were at a high health risk with BMI 35-40 (super-obese) now had a BMI <35 after dieting with Lipotrim. 
  • it would be expected that about 250 people would have stopped their blood pressure medication as a result of their weight loss.
  • 90 patients who were type 2 diabetic on starting the Lipotrim diet were required to stop taking their medication for diabetes prior to starting the Lipotrim diet. Many of these patients would also be expected to be in diabetic remission post dieting. 


The benefit to those people cannot be underestimated, The reduction of long term health risk through significant weight loss is well documented. Lipotrim has a big future in combating the obesity epidemic in Ireland.


So what is Lipotrim and how does this diet work?

Lipotrim is a Total Food Replacement Programme, using nutrient-complete formula foods designed to maximise what is known as "the Calorie gap". The Lipotrim formula foods provide the appropriate amounts of the essential nutrients your body needs each day but in the minimum number of calories. 
By changing where you get your calories, your body rather than food, you will lose weight healthily, quickly and comfortably.
