About our weight-management clinic
Weight management, supported properly
A clinically supervised weight-management service at Coldean Pharmacy in Brighton — an eligibility assessment, a personalised plan and ongoing support from a prescriber-led team.
Is this service right for you?
Support with weight for health reasons
You’re considering support with your weight to improve your health and wellbeing, and want a plan built around you.
Clinical supervision, not going it alone
You’d rather be guided by a qualified prescriber than navigate weight management by yourself.
Eligibility based on clinical criteria
Suitability is assessed individually against clinical criteria, including BMI and your health history.
Previous attempts haven’t worked
If diets or programmes haven’t led to lasting change, a structured, clinically supervised approach may help.
Ongoing monitoring & support
Regular reviews with our team, so your plan is checked, adjusted and supported over time.
A local, regulated pharmacy
Care from a GPhC-registered pharmacy in Coldean — discreet, familiar and easy to reach across Brighton & Hove.

weight loss service
Brij has taken great care of me. I have a half hour face to face consultation with him each month, covering my weight loss (half a stone a month so far), general health, and advice on exercise and diet. I couldn’t do a face to face online with my sight loss, and I wouldn’t trust online sales anyway. It’s much safer for me talking directly to Brij in his pharmacy,
I’m not struggling to diet now, I’m just not hungry. I don’t crave snacks, or even alcohol as I used to.
I have had no adverse side effects.
There has been one very beneficial and unexpected benefit. I had been on three blood pressure meds each day ( ramipril, amlodipine, doxazosin) and now I take none! and GP blood tests show my blood cholesterol is very low too. So all good!
