We manage the side effects with you
- Your clinician sets the dose based on your personal case, and will adjust it based on your results.
- From your first week you’ll know which side effects to expect, what usually settles them, and which ones are worth ringing us about.
- You can reach your prescriber once you’ve started, so a bad week ends in a dose review.
Nausea is the most common, usually in the first few weeks and after a dose increase. Our clinicians work to reduce and manage them. They can’t be ruled out entirely.

A real story · Gaby
I knew exactly what I looked like when I felt good. I just hadn’t been her in a long time.
I’d been trying to get her back for years, in all the wrong ways. This time I did the opposite, and the weight stayed off.
Starting was never my problem. I’ve lost weight before, more times than I’d like to admit. The problem was that I threw everything at it at once and tried to do it as fast as humanly possible. Every plan was all or nothing. I’d burn out within weeks, then watch the weight creep back a few months later.
The moment it changed had nothing to do with the scale. It was a Friday night. I was stood in my room, already half-decided to text the girls and say I wasn’t coming. Again. Because of how I felt in my body. That night it finally landed that I was letting the way I felt about myself decide what I was allowed to be part of.
So I did the opposite of everything I’d tried before. Slower. Calmer. Something I could actually live with.
The hardest part was never the gym. It was the noise around food. The snacking, the cravings, the constant negotiating with myself from the moment I woke up.
Three to five minutes, and you can stop at any point.
One woman’s experience, and individual results vary. Treatment is prescription only, isn’t suitable for everyone, and side effects are common.
Your safety
Clinical review, built in.
A clinician reads your case before treatment starts, and keeps reviewing it while you’re on it.
- 01
A prescriber reads your case before you’re treated
A UK prescribing clinician reads your assessment and decides whether treatment is appropriate for you at all. No part of that decision is automated.
- 02
Your details are confirmed with you
The rules changed in February 2025. A questionnaire on its own is no longer enough, so your prescriber confirms details like your weight and BMI with you directly.
- 03
Your assessment covers more than a number
Weight history, medical background, anything else you take, and what your week looks like.
- 04
Nothing is dispensed automatically
If a prescriber decides treatment isn’t suitable, it isn’t sent and you aren’t charged for it. You’re told why, and what we’d suggest instead.
- 05
Your dose is managed for you
It goes up gradually and gets reviewed as you go. If a step leaves you feeling unwell, your clinician can hold you at that dose, take you back down, or stop treatment altogether.
What happens after month one
Your dose is reviewed as you go and changed when it needs changing. The prescriber who reads your case at the start is the one making those decisions later.
Three to five minutes, and you can stop at any point.

Women on the plan
Real patient experiences
Three of the women we’ve treated, in their words.
9 kg downRebecca L.
I wanted progress without turning my whole life upside down. L'vae helped me make changes that worked around my schedule and still delivered results
17 kg downChloe B.
L'vae helped me move past the all-or-nothing mindset. The progress felt steady, realistic, and much easier to sustain than anything I had tried before.
20 kg downMeera K.
I finally found an approach that felt personal to me. L'vae helped me stay accountable while still making the journey feel achievable.
Individual results vary. How much you lose depends on what you’re prescribed, your dose, and what you eat and do alongside it. Treatment isn’t suitable for everyone.

What happens to the price after month one
What you pay after that depends on the plan your prescriber sets. Your clinician builds up gradually and reviews you as they go, so not everyone ends up on the same plan or paying the same. We’ll tell you the price before each month is dispensed.
Three to five minutes, and you can stop at any point.
Why we can’t quote you a final price
Two women who start at the same weight can end up on different plans, because how you respond changes what your clinician does next. That’s why we’d rather tell you the price before each month is dispensed than quote you a figure we might have to take back.
If a prescriber says no
You get your money back in full. We’d rather refund you than put you on something that’s wrong for you, and the pharmacy wouldn’t dispense it anyway.
Questions
Have questions? Get answers.
Including the ones that come up long before anyone’s ready to start.
Do I choose what I’m treated with?
No. You can tell us what would suit your life better and we’ll pass it on, but your clinician decides what’s appropriate. If they recommend something other than your preference, they’ll explain why.
Is this suitable for everyone?
No. There are medical histories, medicines and situations where it isn’t appropriate, pregnancy among them. A prescriber reads your full history before anything is dispensed, and confirms the important parts with you.
I’m perimenopausal. Does that change anything?
It changes what your clinician is weighing up. Falling oestrogen affects appetite and sleep, and it’s often behind weight that went on in your forties without your habits changing. Mention it in the assessment, along with any HRT.
Will I lose muscle as well as fat?
Some, if the weight comes off too fast. Muscle is most of what keeps your metabolism ticking over, so a steady rate matters. A specialist dietitian is part of the programme, and your clinician sets the pace with that in mind.
I have PCOS. Does that rule me out?
Usually the opposite. PCOS is common among the women we assess, and it’s relevant to whether treatment is appropriate. We ask about it early so your prescriber can weigh it up.
What about side effects?
Common, and for some women significant. Nausea is the usual one, particularly in the first few weeks and after a dose increase. Your dose goes up slowly, support starts in week one, and your prescriber can hold you at a dose or stop treatment. No provider can promise you won’t get any.
Am I definitely getting treatment if I pay?
No. Paying reserves your plan and starts the clinical review. Treatment is dispensed only if a prescriber confirms it suits you, and you get the full amount back if they decide otherwise.
Why do you need to verify my details?
The rules for these treatments changed in February 2025. A prescriber can no longer rely on an online questionnaire alone, so they confirm details like your weight and BMI with you directly. It adds a step to the process.
How long until I see anything happen?
Most women notice appetite changes before the scales move. Meaningful weight loss is measured in months rather than weeks. The first month is mostly about settling on a dose you feel well on.
What happens right after I check my eligibility?
You get a provisional result in a few minutes. If you reserve a plan, you then complete the full medical assessment your prescriber needs before deciding.
Can I stop?
Whenever you like. Your plan runs every 28 days until you pause or cancel it, and it stays under clinical review throughout.
Start with clarity. Move with confidence.
You’ll have a provisional answer in a few minutes. The prescriber’s decision follows once they’ve read your assessment.
Three to five minutes, and you can stop at any point.
