What treatment options are available to you?
A healthy lifestyle is essential to keep your body and weight healthy. But sometimes a healthy lifestyle isn't enough. What are your options if you decide to go the medicinal route? And what do you need to know?
Weight loss medication
- The most commonly prescribed weight loss medications come in two forms, capsules (to be taken daily by mouth) and self-administered injections. Each medicine works in a slightly different way.
- They lower blood sugar levels, enhance insulin secretion in response to elevated blood glucose levels, and reduce excessive glucose production.
- They work on areas on the brain involved in the control of food intake and energy expenditure.
- They reduce the absorption of fat, making you take in fewer calories.
What do you need to know?
- Weight loss medicines aren't for everyone. People who are overweight are considered a candidate for these medicines if they have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher, or if they have a BMI between 25 and 30 and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis or sleep apnoea.
- Remember, healthy lifestyle choices are the foundation of weight loss. Weight loss medications should be used as a temporary solution. They are meant to be used alongside a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise. If you continue with unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, you’ll rebound back to your old weight (or even heavier).
- Weight loss medications may cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhoea, constipation and bloating.
