Have you ever wondered how our prescription weight loss medication works? We asked Dr Jane Glazebrook, one of our GMC-registered weight loss doctors, to debunk some myths around our appetite suppressants and answer some of the most frequently asked questions to put you at ease. All our appetite suppressants are safe, clinically tested and approved by healthcare professionals and are an effective way of aiding weight loss.

How do appetite suppressants work?

Appetite suppressants work by altering the release of chemical messengers within the appetite control centre of the brain called the hypothalamus. This leads to appetite suppression and reduced hunger perception. This means you gain more control of your hunger, helping you to control your weight loss diet, eat less food and thereby lose weight. We offer two types of tablet appetite suppressants at The Slimming Clinic: Phentermine and Diethylproprion.

How does Saxenda work?

Saxenda works in a very similar way to our tablets by acting on receptors in the appetite control centre of the brain to help control your hunger. Saxenda comes in injection form and contains the active drug liraglutide, which is similar to a naturally occurring hormone (GLP-1) that is released by the digestive system after eating. Additionally, Saxenda also delays the emptying of your stomach, so you feel fuller quicker and for longer periods of time.

How long does it take for Saxenda and other prescription weight loss medication to work?

You should feel the appetite-suppressing effects of weight loss medication from day one. You will feel less hungry in general and more satisfied when you do eat!

Will appetite suppressants completely take away my appetite?

Appetite suppressants are not prescribed to completely take away your appetite but to suppress/reduce it, so you have more control of your hunger and weight loss diet. Weight loss medication is a tool to aid behaviour changes, so you can concentrate on getting the right balance of the health and lifestyle changes necessary to lose weight for good. Alongside the help and support of our weight loss doctors and experts in diet, mind and movement, our weight loss medication can support you on the way to achieving your weight loss goals.
