No. Currently there are no medications listed on the PBS for management of overweight and obesity. Though this doesn’t mean you can’t have access to them. Weight-loss medications are prescribed by your GP or Bariatric Doctor as a private prescription and can be accessed at most Pharmacies.
Yes. Like all medications, weight loss medications have a side effects profile, though reassuringly, most of the side effects settle down over a short period of time. Mostly these medications are very well tolerated once you are established on a therapeutic dose. Your GP or Bariatric Doctor is the best person to speak to regarding medication side effects. The different medication options have different side effect profiles, and every person will experience side effects in different ways. Your doctor will work with you to navigate any side effects and help you to achieve the best result from your weight loss medication.
Weight loss medications work in different ways. Some work to reduce the hunger drive and improve satiety. Some work by reducing food cravings. Some work by blocking absorption of fats in the digestive system. By understanding your medical history, weight history and psychological history, your doctor can assess which medication would be best suited to you as an individual. We perform physical, psychological and metabolic testing to ensure that the correct medication is prescribed to the correct person and we help you to navigate any side effects or concerns you have to improve your chances at effective and long term weight loss.
