Eligibility check

Find out where you stand

A few honest questions, an honest answer. This check tells you whether prescription weight loss treatment could be worth discussing — it isn't a diagnosis, and a consultation never guarantees a prescription.

About you

Treatment criteria differ by age, so let's start there.

Please enter your age.

Height & weight

We use these to calculate your BMI — the starting point (not the whole story) for UK prescribing criteria.

— Your BMI appears here as you type

Please enter your height and weight.

Weight-related health conditions

Tick anything you've been diagnosed with. These can affect the BMI threshold at which treatment is considered.

Current medicines

Some medicines need extra care alongside weight loss treatment. Tick anything you take regularly.

Important safety questions

These matter. Please answer honestly — they're the difference between safe and unsafe treatment.

Please tick the options that apply, or "None of these apply to me".

Likely eligible

Treatment looks worth discussing

Based on your answers, you meet the usual starting criteria for prescription weight loss treatment in the UK. The next step is a consultation with a GPhC-registered pharmacist prescriber at one of our partner pharmacies — in clinic in Oxford or Bicester, or online — to review your full health history and talk through which route genuinely fits you.

A consultation never guarantees a prescription — if treatment isn't right for you, we'll tell you, and tell you why.

Needs prescriber discussion

Your situation needs a proper conversation

That doesn't mean no — it means your answers sit in territory where a blanket yes or no would be bad medicine. A consultation with a GPhC-registered pharmacist prescriber at a partner pharmacy can look at your full picture: health history, medicines, goals, and whether treatment (or another approach entirely) serves you best.

A consultation never guarantees a prescription. The consultation fee is only worthwhile if you want a genuinely individual answer — and that's exactly what you'll get.

Not suitable right now

Treatment isn't the right tool for you today

That's genuinely good news in one sense: prescription weight loss medicines carry real side effects and are reserved for people whose weight presents a clear health risk. Here's what we'd suggest instead:

  • Lifestyle support works at every BMI. Our nutrition and habit guidance is available without medication — and it's the same support our treatment patients get.
  • Recheck if things change. Eligibility depends on your BMI and health conditions, so the answer can change over time.
  • Talk to your GP if your weight is affecting your health in ways this short check can't capture.
Please speak to your GP

This needs your GP, not an online check

Based on what you've told us, prescription weight loss treatment through a service like ours isn't safe or appropriate to arrange online. This isn't a brush-off — it's the honest answer, and the one a good clinician owes you.
