Weight loss and menopause help
Staying at a stable weight is one of the biggest challenges for women going through menopause. Many middle-aged women notice they can’t seem to stop those pounds from sneaking on. Gaining weight doesn’t have to be a bad thing. However, it can influence how you look and feel about yourself. This is something many women struggle with.

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 (for daily oral use) 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.
