Weight Loss Injections: The Rise of Medical Solutions for Obesity and Appetite Control

You cannot legally walk into a shop and buy weight loss injections without a prescription. But licensed retailers and clinics can offer them after a medical assessment, which makes it look like they’re sold over the counter, when in fact it’s a controlled and regulated process. Weight loss jabs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Saxenda represent a major shift in how we treat obesity and related metabolic conditions. While they can be incredibly effective for some people, they’re not magic fixes and should be approached with medical advice and ongoing lifestyle changes. Understanding the risks, benefits, and proper usage is essential before considering these medications.

Eating Disorders and PIP Eligibility

Eating disorders are complex, debilitating, and can severely affect both mental and physical health. Although often invisible to others, the internal struggles faced by sufferers are very real and valid. Whether you’re managing an eating disorder yourself or supporting a loved one, it’s important to know that support exists, and that financial help through PIP or Universal Credit may be available. Raising awareness and reducing stigma can open the door to better treatment, social understanding, and a fairer benefits system that recognises the true challenges of living with an eating disorder.
