A spokesperson at Boots said: "It can be an effective medicine to achieve sustained weight loss when used alongside a reduced calorie diet, increased physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices. It will be available from Boots Online Doctor, with an anticipated launch of spring 2023."The Boots Online Doctor Weight Loss Treatment service is for customers who are worried that their weight is impacting their health.
