Weight Loss programme explained

The Weight Loss programme is supervised by a doctor and uses a personal plan to support healthy, sustainable weight reduction. Before you start, the doctor asks about your health, weight and height, eating habits, activity level and any medicines you take. The programme includes advice on food and activity, L-Carnitine IV infusion (given into a vein), and regular reviews of your progress. L-Carnitine is a substance the body makes naturally. It helps carry fatty acids into the energy-producing part of the cell (the mitochondria) so they can be used as energy. However, research shows that L-Carnitine on its own leads to only a small amount of weight loss, and it works best together with a healthy diet and regular activity.

Results and recovery

Results

How much weight you lose, and how fast, varies greatly from person to person. For lasting results it is important to change and keep up your eating and activity habits. A specific amount of weight loss cannot be guaranteed.

Recovery and side effects

There is no recovery time for this programme and you can carry on with normal daily life. There may be slight redness or bruising where the needle was placed. Your plan may change how you eat and how you move. If you feel weak or dizzy while losing weight, please tell the doctor.

Possible side effects

Side effects depend on what is included in your plan. The doctor will explain those that apply to you.

  • Nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps or diarrhoea
  • Headache, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, restlessness, or sometimes a fishy body odour
  • Pain, redness, bruising or vein inflammation where the needle was placed
  • Hunger, tiredness, or dehydration if weight falls too quickly
  • Rare but serious risks: severe allergic reaction, infection, and more seizures in people who already have a seizure disorder. If you have severe dizziness, chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, severe vomiting, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe itchy rash, go to a hospital straight away.

Results vary from person to person.
