How can we help?

Aktive is a health platform that connects you with health professionals such as doctors and pharmacists. Aktive verifies each professional to give you the comfort of knowing you're in good hands.

We can't mention medications by name due to advertising restrictions. However, our trustworthy partner doctors can decide (with you) which treatment plan works best. Take our quiz today.

Aktive uses up-to-date technology to keep your information entirely confidential. We guarantee to keep your data safe from third parties unless you provide consent. Your medical information will only be viewed by the partner doctor reviewing your consultation.

Privacy Policy

The information you provide during the medical consultation will allow a doctor registered with our platform to assess your information and suggest a treatment to help you on your weight loss journey.

You may qualify for treatment if:

• You have a BMI of 30 or above
• You have a BMI of 27 or above and also have an existing weight-related medical condition (such has high blood pressure or high cholesterol).
• You aren't taking another medication that might interact with Orlistat or a GLP-1.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated using your height and weight. It tells you whether you're underweight, a healthy weight, or overweight based on your height, age, and gender.

A body image is required to ensure that you are eligible and so that we can see your progress. We will only ask for you to provide this once every 3 months. The picture will only be visible to you and our partner doctor - no one else will have access to it. We realise it's inconvenient, but it's essential for the safety of our patients and to protect those who are vulnerable.

After finishing the consultation, you will receive a call from an allied healthcare professional to confirm your details. During our working hours, one of our partner doctors will review your answers within 1-2 hours. Outside working hours, you can expect to hear back from us on the following working day. If we have any further questions or are unable to prescribe to you, we will send through a message.

If your subscription isn't approved by one of our partner doctors, this means that the treatment isn't safe for you. It is our number one priority to keep you from any potential health risks.

If you're not approved for treatment, we will not take any form of payment. Your subscription will be cancelled and any pending transactions will bounce back into your account. There will be no hidden charges.

When starting a new treatment, it's best to inform your local doctor about the changes to your medical situation. This way they can also keep track of your medical history.

After finishing the consultation, you will receive a call from an allied healthcare professional to confirm your details. Our partner doctors will review your medical details. If they have any questions they will contact you via text message. If they deem you suitable, you will receive your treatment in 3-4 days. From then on, you will automatically receive a new supply every 4 weeks. We will always inform you about upcoming shipments.

When starting treatment, you will begin on the lowest dosage. This helps to minimise any initial side effects as your body gets used to taking the new medication. As the weeks go by, your body becomes adjusted to the medication and you can increase your dosage slowly.

For the tablet plan, you will receive one order of 30 tablets every month. For the injection plan, you will receive one order of 4 vials every month, along with syringes and alcohol swabs.

Yes, you can directly contact our partner doctors via email, text message or the message centre in your account. Alternatively, you can contact our Customer Service Team, who will pass on your message.

After 4 weeks of taking the same dose, your body will have adjusted enough for you to increase it. Taking a higher dose means more medicine, and therefore more weight loss progress. You may experience mild side effects every time you increase your dose - this is entirely normal and will subside once your body gets used to the new dosage. If you want to stay on the same dose, this is also possible. Just get in touch.

It is important to update your medical answers so that our partner doctors can see how you are responding to your treatment plan. New body images will also need to be uploaded on occasion to help track your progress.

Our treatments, available as both tablets and injection, work in five simple ways:

• When the body releases too much sugar into the blood, they help the body release more insulin to curb sugar levels.
• They help the body remove excessive sugar from the blood.
• They stop the liver from making and releasing further sugar into the blood.
• They signal the brain to eat less, thereby suppressing appetite and unnecessary bingeing.
• They slow down the speed at which the food leaves the stomach. This helps lose weight over time.

Our treatments work on many levels. The active ingredient works by making your body produce more of a specific hormone that affects how hungry you feel.

This slows down digestion and stomach emptying. It affects your appetite because your brain gets the signal "I'm full' much quicker. Which means you eat less.

The medication also resets your metabolism. You have a set point that your body defends to maintain. It gives you hunger signals if you drop below this point. The hormones reset this point to a lower level.

Our treatments are clinically proven to help you lose weight. They are prescribed with utmost discretion and caution by renowned doctors and specialists - this is something that cannot be said of other weight loss medications.

The main benefit of our treatment is that it's proven to effectively cause weight loss.

When combined with a healthy lifestyle:

• Individuals using our weight loss tablets can lose up to 15% of their original body weight within a year.
• Individuals using our weight loss injection can lose up to 21% of their original body weight within 16 months.

Losing weight also reduces your risk of developing severe health complications later in life, such as heart disease, high cholesterol and strokes.

How much weight you can lose depends on the individual and is also dependent on factors such as diet and exercise.

However, on average:

• Individuals using our weight loss tablets can lose up to 15% of their original body weight within a year.
• Individuals using our weight loss injection can lose up to 21% of their original body weight within 16 months.

All our treatments are dispensed by accredited partner pharmacies.

We can only provide the treatments to individuals with a BMI of 30 and above (or 27 and above with weight-related health conditions). If you meet that criteria, fill out our online medical quiz. One of our partner doctors will then check your medical history and determine if you're suitable.

Everybody's weight loss journey looks slightly different. However, you will likely start seeing results as soon as one month into treatment. Remember, healthy weight loss takes time and patience.

Yes. For the drug to work, you must make the necessary lifestyle changes to your diet and exercise habits. You should consume fewer calories daily, and make changes to your exercise regime. Most people should exercise 75 - 150 minutes weekly - this could be as simple as walking or doing household chores.

The daily tablet is a new generation weight loss medication that is taken orally once a day. No need to inject yourself.

The tablet is taken every morning on an empty stomach. Remember to take it first thing and wait 30 minutes before your first meal or drink of the day.

The daily tablet is available in 3 different doses: 3 mg, 7 mg, and 14 mg.

After 4 weeks of treatment, we will automatically increase your dose (as long as it's been deemed suitable by one of our partner doctors, and you're happy to take the next dosage level).

If you miss a dose, skip your tablet for that day and wait until the following morning to take another one.

It's very common to experience mild side effects, especially when you first start treatment and increase your dose. These can be managed with diet - for example, fatty and sugary foods are more likely to cause nausea.

The injection we prescribe is a prescription-only, once-weekly injection that is used for weight management.

It removes excess sugar from the blood and slows digestion, which makes you feel fuller for longer and lose weight.

The active ingredient in the injection works in five simple ways:

• When the body releases too much sugar into the blood, it helps the body release more insulin to curb sugar levels.
• It helps the body remove excessive sugar from the blood.
• It stops the liver from making and releasing further sugar into the blood.
• It signals the brain to eat less, thereby suppressing appetite and unnecessary bingeing.
• It slows down the speed at which the food leaves the stomach. This helps lose weight over time.

Here’s what you should do before taking the injection:

• Inspect the vial carefully before using
  The liquid in the vial should be clear and colourless to slightly yellow.
• Check the name and coloured label
  This will help you ensure you are taking the right injection and the correct dosage prescribed to you.
• Place the syringe with the needle on a clean surface
• Wash your hands with warm water and soap
• Pull off the protective cap from the vial
  But do not remove the rubber stopper.
• Firmly attach the needle to the top of the syringe
• Remove the needle shield/cap

Here is how you can prepare the injection:

• Push the needle through the centre of the rubber stopper in the vial.
• Push the plunger down to inject the air into the vial.
• Turn the vial upside down.
• Slowly pull the plunger down to draw the medicine into the syringe until it crosses the 0.5 mL mark.
• Tap the syringe a few times to let air bubbles rise to the top. This helps remove any excess air and medication.
• Slowly push the plunger up until it reaches the 0.5 mL mark.
• Pull the syringe out of the rubber stopper of the vial.

• Inject under the skin of your stomach or upper leg.
• If it is being injected by anyone else, inject into the back of the upper arm.
• Inject into a different area of the body every week.
• If you plan to stick to the same area, choose a different injection site within that area.
• Push down on the plunger to inject your dose.
• Keep the needle in place for at least 5 seconds.
• Pull the needle out of your skin and dispose of it in your sharps container. Do not share or reuse your needle or syringe.
• Dispose of the used vial in your sharps container.

Our injections are available in 6 doses:

• 2.5 mg
• 5 mg
• 7.5 mg
• 10 mg
• 12.5 mg
• 15 mg

Your dose is increased gradually to let your body adjust to the medication.

Disclaimer: As of now, our injections are only available in doses of 2.5 mg and 5 mg.

If you miss a dose:

• Take the missed dose as soon as possible, or at least within 4 days (96 hours) after the missed dose.
• If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose as per the original schedule.
• Do not take two doses within 3 days of each other.

We will automatically increase the dosage after each month (if you and our partner doctors deem it suitable).

• You must start on the 2.5 mg dose.
• After one month, you can progress to the 5 mg dose.
• If changes in your weight are noticeable, your doctor will keep you on the 5 mg dose, also known as the maintenance dose.
• However, if changes are not seen, your doctor will gradually increase your dosage to 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg every four weeks.

Disclaimer: As of now, our injections are only available in doses of 2.5 mg and 5 mg.

Do not alter your dose unless you have been instructed by our partner doctor to do so. You cannot exceed a dose of 15 mg per week. If you take more than you should, contact us as soon as possible.

• Store the injection in a refrigerator between 2°C - 8°C.
• Alternatively, store it at room temperature, below 30°C, for up to 21 days.
• Do not freeze the vial. DO NOT use if it has been frozen.
• Keep the injection in the original package and protect it from direct light.

The main benefit is that it's proven to effectively cause weight loss. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, individuals using our treatments can lose up to 21% of their original body weight.

Like all prescription medicines, our injection too can cause some side effects. This is especially true during the first few months. However, the most common side effects are mild and go away on their own.

Common side effects include:

• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Vomiting (being sick)
• Indigestion and general stomach discomfort
• Bloating and gas (flatulence)
• Constipation
• Inflammation of the stomach (gastritis)

Most of these side effects should disappear once your body has gotten used to the medication. However, if you experience any persistent or worrying side effects, speak to us or your healthcare provider.
