Weight loss injectionbundles offer a convenient way to keep moving forward with your treatment safely, with fewer consultations.
But that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Our pharmacy team are always within reach to offer guidance, support, and safety and side effect monitoring. Here’s how we ensure your safety with a weight loss bundle.
Three key takeaways:
We only approve bundle orders if one of our clinicians confirms your dose as safe and stable.
Our pharmacy team are always on hand to offer support and consult on dose adjustment throughout your bundle.
Side effects can still happen with bundles, even at a maintenance dose, so our clinicians continue to monitor your progress with regular check-ins.
How we keep you safe
The process of ordering bundles is streamlined to make it as quick and convenient as possible, but every bundle request is thoroughly reviewed by our prescribing team.
Clinical safety checks always apply
Through every stage of your journey, whether increasing your dose or at maintenance, we carry out the same safety checks to put your health first.
We do this to make sure your treatment continues as safely and effectively as possible.
Ordering multiple doses with a bundle doesn’t change this. And even with fewer consultations, we ensure you’re well-being is our top priority.
Bundles don’t replace check-ins
During check-ins, our pharmacy team will confirm that:
You’re on the correct dose for your needs
You’re not experiencing any worrying side effects
Your treatment is still clinically appropriate
When to seek support while using a bundle
It’s just as important, and just as easy, to reach out for help when using a Sustain bundle (a bundle of the same-strength dose for maintenance) as it is when you’re titrating up through doses.
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns about your dose, side effects, or anything else, don’t wait until the end of your bundle to reach out to our pharmacy team. You can contact us anytime.
We’re here to support you every step of the way on your weight loss journey.
Side effects while on bundles
Side effects can occur whether you're titrating through doses or in maintenance. This applies whether you’re buying individual doses or bundles.
Step up bundles side effects
If you’re on a step-up bundle (a bundle with more than one dose strength so you can titrate up), you’re more likely to experience side effects when changing doses.
If you have any new side effects or questions about side effects you’ve had before that return when you increase your dose, talk to our pharmacy team for advice.
Sustain bundles side effects
Although you’re less likely to have side effects if you’re using a Sustain bundle for weight loss maintenance, they can still occur.
Lifestyle factors may cause these side effects like:
If you find side effects you’ve experienced in the past at a different dose returning, it’s most likely nothing to worry about. A stable dose doesn’t always mean stable side effects.
But if you experience new side effects for the first time while on your maintenance dose, it’s a good idea to check in with your prescriber to make sure your maintenance dose is still safe.
If you have a sudden onset or side effects, or any troubling side effects, let your GP know, to stay on the safe side.
"Weight loss treatment isn’t a straight line. Just as your weight can sometimes fluctuate despite you sticking to your treatment plan, your side effects can fluctuate too, especially when you change doses. If the side effects are familiar, it’s probably nothing to be alarmed about. But if the side effects on your maintenance dose are new to you, it’s probably a good idea to check in with your prescriber, just to make sure your treatment continues safely. We’re always here to help!”
Even if you’re ordering your treatment in bundles, that doesn’t mean you won’t have the same access to support.
Bundles are designed to reduce admin and re-ordering stress for your convenience, but that doesn’t mean a hands-off approach. You’re not left to continue treatment alone.
Ordering through bundles doesn’t lock you into a specific dose strength. You can still make adjustments to your dose if you need to. Our clinical team is here to support and advise you in this whenever you need.
What Happens If You Need a Dose Review Mid-Bundle?
If you’ve ordered a Sustain bundle but think you may need to adjust your dose before you’ve used all your injection pens, don’t worry.
If you’re struggling with side effects at your maintenance dose, you can schedule a review with your prescriber.
We continue to monitor your progress during your maintenance phase to make sure your weight loss journey remains comfortable, effective, and safe.
Our pharmacy team can offer support and guidance on whether the best treatment path for you is to pause your treatment, space it out, or reassess your dose and drop back down to a lower dose until your symptoms stabilise.
You can still keep your existing pens to use once your side effects have evened out enough to titrate back up. Just remember to keep them in the fridge and keep an eye on the expiration date.
Why bundles make sense in maintenance
If you’re seeing good results and feeling confident in your progress, ordering Sustain bundles can give you peace of mind that you always have your next dose lined up before you need it and provide consistency.
Sustain bundles are available at every dose strength, so you can maintain your progress at whatever dose works for you.
This makes bundles perfect for patients whose prescriber has assessed them as stable on their current dose.
Remember, being on a maintenance dose and ordering bundles is designed to reduce admin, not to close the door to seeking help. Our pharmacy team are here to support you however you need.
