What do Boots do below BMI 25?

Hi, I'm almost down to BMI 25 and wondering if anybody can let me know how Boots Online Doctor responds to this? I’ve heard they are not keen on maintenance prescriptions, not sure if their policy is to cut people off at a certain level, or prescribe a reducing dose or what? They’ve been great so far and very efficient (although not the cheapest), but I can’t find any info on their site. I’m not looking to change providers.

I think they stop prescribing at BMI 23. I used to be with Boots but moved (over a year ago) because they didn’t do maintenance.

They may have changed though.

after promising me they did maintenance they’ve just reduced my dose from 10mg to 7.5 as my bmi is 23. What they don’t get is that my maintenance dose is 10 or I will put weight on as my calories allowance is so low.

so I assume next month I will use the 7.5mg, put a couple of pounds on and then ask them to go to 10
