The Weight Loss Treatment Plan is designed to support weight loss and weight maintenance in adults. The treatment works by regulating your appetite, making you feel satiated. Therefore, you will feel less hungry and have fewer food cravings, helping you to eat less food and reduce body weight.

The Weight Loss Treatment Plan should be used alongside reduced calorie intake and increased physical activity for adults who have:

• A BMI (Body mass index) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity)
• A BMI of at least 27 kg/m2 but less than 30kg/m2 alongside weight related health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

The Weight Loss Treatment Plan should not be given to children and teenagers under 18.

You should consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting the Weight Loss Treatment Plan if any of the following applies to you:

• You have severe problems with food digestion or food remaining in your stomach longer than normal (including severe gastroparesis)
• You have problems with your eyes, such as diabetic retinopathy or macular oedema.
• You have had pancreatitis before.
• You are using certain medications for diabetes.

The Weight Loss Treatment Plan shouldn’t be used when pregnant. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning on having a baby, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting this treatment.

The Weight Loss Treatment Plan should be used as your doctor or pharmacist has instructed. Check with them if you are unsure how to follow the treatment protocol.

The treatment is administered to either the stomach area, the upper leg, or the upper arm. You may need assistance from another person if you wish to administer to the upper arm.

You can use the same area each week if you wish. However, be sure to choose a different site within that area.

If necessary, you can change the day of your weekly treatment if it has been 3 days since the last dose. Afterwards, continue with your weekly schedule on the new day.

The recommended starting dosage is once a week for four weeks. After four weeks, your dose may increase.

Like any treatment, the Weight Loss Treatment Plan can have side effects, but not everyone experiences them. Side effects can include:

• Inflamed pancreas, which is uncommon. You should see a doctor immediately if you experience this.
• Severe allergic reactions which could cause breathing problems, swelling of the lips, tongue and/or throat with difficulty swelling and a fast heartbeat. If you experience these symptoms, you should seek immediate medical help and inform your doctor.
• Nausea.
• Diarrhoea.
• Vomiting.
• Constipation.
• Dizziness.
• Bloating of the stomach.

It’s essential that you discuss the potential risks with your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment.

Unused treatments should be refrigerated at a temperature between 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) and can be kept refrigerated until the expiration date printed on the label. Once in use, it can be kept at room temperature (below 86°F or 30°C) for up to 21 days. However, after 21 days, the in-use treatment should be discarded, even if some remains. Furthermore, if the treatment has been frozen, it should be discarded and not used.

You should always follow the dosage recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. However, if you have taken too much, you should talk to your doctor straight away. Too much of this treatment can cause low blood sugar and can make you feel sick or be sick.

If you forget a dose and it has been 4 days or less since you should have last used the treatment, use it as soon as you remember, and then continue as usual on your scheduled day. If you forget a dose and it has been more than 4 days since you should have taken a dose, skip the missed dose and continue as usual on your scheduled day.

It’s generally recommended to avoid or limit alcohol consumption while using the Weight Loss Treatment Plan, as alcohol can potentially interact with the treatment and impact its effectiveness and increase side effects. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.
