Questionable suggested alternate medications
I required a new prescription of the pill, it was easy to do the consultation and get the prescription without needing to take the time off work. However, what I found slightly alarming is that when you need to put your height and weight, when I received the confirmation of my prescription through it then suggested due to my BMI I could also get diet pills. I think it's really alarming that these are suggested with no prior questions asked. I have actually already lost 12kg in the last year and am training for a half marathon, having had surgery a few months ago and seen many doctors in person. I can confirm I am a healthy and active woman. I find it really worrying these are suggested with no medical backing, such as whether someone may have an eating disorder and be triggered, how active they are, or even if these drugs should be taken at the same time. I really feel this could be done better.
