Who qualifies for the medication
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, eligibility for medication like GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) for weight management depends on your Body Mass Index (BMI) and overall health. Doctors typically look for a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes). Contraindications may include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe gastrointestinal disease. Your doctor will assess your full medical history through the online questionnaire to determine if the medication is suitable.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Many medications for weight management, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, are GLP-1 receptor agonists. These work by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This helps you feel fuller sooner, reduces hunger, and slows down gastric emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake. It's important to understand that these medications are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise. They are not a magic bullet; realistic timelines for significant results typically involve several months of consistent use, and individual outcomes vary.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, GLP-1 agonists can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It's crucial to seek medical attention if you experience persistent severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing). Your Hi-Doctor will provide full information on when to stop the medication and monitor your progress.
