Frequently Asked Questions
We have collected some of the questions we often receive. If you have other questions or are interested in learning more about medical weight loss, please message us in the chat or email: contact@joinembla.com
Why treat severe obesity with medication?
It's difficult to lose weight and maintain weight loss. Eating less and running more is not enough - your biology is working against you. Appetite-regulating medication helps you combat the feelings of hunger experienced when trying to lose weight. The latest GLP-1a medications, combined with lifestyle changes, are an effective way to achieve lasting weight loss. Therefore, medication may be part of the solution for those who have difficulty losing weight.
Who can be prescribed the medication?
You can be prescribed medication for weight loss if you have a BMI over 30. The medication should always be used as part of a program that includes a healthy diet and exercise. As a member of Embla, your coach will teach you how to eat and exercise and give you the mental tools to reach your goal.
Is the medication safe?
The GLP-1a medications we prescribe to our members at Embla are all approved by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). GLP-1a medications have been used safely for treating diabetes in the UK since 2007. During this time, it was also discovered that the treatment resulted in weight loss. Researchers have since conducted studies on whether the medication can treat severe obesity. Today, several GLP-1a medications are approved for use in weight loss programs.
Will I get my medication from Embla?
Yes, you will. At Embla, our doctors will prescribe one of the medications we use in our program. The medication will then be delivered directly to you via our pharmacy partner.
What are the most common side effects?
You may experience mild side effects such as nausea, constipation, and diarrhoea. Typically, you will only experience these side effects for a short period, which can often be relieved by adjusting your medication dosage. The diet your coach guides you to eat will also minimise the side effects. The vast majority of our members experience only a few or no side effects at all.
Can I get this program on the NHS?
Currently, our program is only available to private patients via an Embla member subscription.
How do GLP-1a medications work?
GLP-1a medications mimic the body's own satiety hormone called GLP-1. When you eat, GLP-1 is released in your intestine and sends a message to your brain that you are full. GLP-1a medications have the same effect: they lower your appetite and make you feel full faster. In this way, the medication helps you achieve and maintain weight loss.
How do I take the medication?
You take the medication by administering it to yourself via injection into the stomach, upper arm, or thigh. You will use a pen-like device with a small fine needle. It does not hurt - most people do not even feel the injection. On the pen, you measure your dose, then place the pen against the spot on your body where you want to administer the medicine, press the button on the pen, and wait six seconds before removing the needle to ensure that the medication has been correctly administered.
Do you have more questions?
You are welcome to send a message in the chat to ask us anything you are unsure about.
