Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if weight loss medication like semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is appropriate for you. Generally, 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 may include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or pancreatitis. Your medical questionnaire helps the doctor assess your eligibility and ensure your safety.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow gastric emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake. This supports significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand these medications are tools to assist weight loss, not magic bullets. Realistic results often involve a gradual reduction in weight over several months, accompanied by diet and exercise. They do not replace healthy habits but enhance their effectiveness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects. The doctor will advise you on when to stop the medication, which may be due to side effects, reaching a target weight, or if the medication is no longer effective for you.
