Weight Loss (Injectables)

You are eligible for treatment if your BMI is 30 or above. Alternatively, a BMI of 27 or above if you have certain health condition(s).

If you have already started weight-loss injection treatment you can continue treatment until a minimum BMI of 22.5.

• High blood pressure

• High cholesterol

• Osteoarthritis (in the hip, back or knee)

• PCOS

The presence of any of the above conditions means you may be suitable for treatment with a lower minimum BMI of 27.
