Superdrug has announced it is expanding its face-to-face weight loss blood test service in stores across the UK
Superdrug has expanded its in-person weight loss blood test service to now sell Mounjaro and Wegovy to eligible shoppers.
This service from Superdrug enables patients to monitor important health markers such as cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and inflammation, which are all associated with being overweight. These tests are conducted at the beginning of the weight loss programme and then every three months thereafter. "The service includes an initial consultation, where the nurse will take your measurements, BMI and blood pressure, and will take the time to discuss your weight loss goals and medical history with you. As part of the service, if suitable, we offer weight loss medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro."
Mounjaro and Wegovy work by reducing calorie intake, regulating appetite, increasing feelings of fullness and lowering feelings of hunger, leading to reduced food intake.Mounjaro: Mounjaro can only be prescribed to adults with a BMI over 30, or those with a BMI of 27+ with at least one weight-related condition. This will be assessed during your consultation. It is only prescribed as part of a tailored weight management programme, which might include diet changes and exercise.
It is important to note that Ozempic is a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that, along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar. While not for weight loss, Ozempic may help you lose some weight.
