How much do prescription weight loss drugs cost in Edinburgh?

Monthly pharmacy costs for pharmaceutical weight loss drugs typically range from around £120 to £195 depending on the drug and dose. Additional costs may include blood tests or pathology fees and follow-up consultations. We provide transparent cost information at your initial assessment and will inform your NHS GP of any prescriptions if you wish.

Are weight loss drugs safe and what are the side effects?

Weight loss drugs, including GLP‑1 therapies like semaglutide and tirzepatide, are effective for many patients but can have side effects. Common effects include nausea, constipation or altered appetite. Our GPs explain how these drugs work, discuss side effects thoroughly and monitor you regularly to manage risks.
