Who qualifies for weight loss medication
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if a prescription for weight loss medication is appropriate. Typically, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will also be carefully considered. Your medical history, current health status, and other medications you are taking are all part of the doctor's review.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Weight loss medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and can slow gastric emptying. This leads to a reduced calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support weight loss, not magic bullets. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss vary, but patients often see noticeable results within a few months, with continued progress over a year or more. The medication does not replace the need for healthy habits; rather, it makes those habits easier to maintain.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when first starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often subside over time. Our doctors will guide you on managing these. More serious but rare side effects exist, and it's crucial to be aware of them. You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience persistent severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or severe allergic reactions. If side effects are unmanageable or if the doctor determines the medication is no longer appropriate for your health, they will advise you on safely discontinuing treatment. Medical honesty builds trust, and your well-being is our priority.
