Who qualifies for GLP-1
When you seek a GLP-1 prescription online, the doctor assesses several factors to determine if the medication is right for you. Generally, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will evaluate your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure GLP-1 is a safe and appropriate treatment option for your specific health profile.
What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce food cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This can lead to a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for significant results typically involve several months of consistent use, and individual responses can vary.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, GLP-1 can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, such as pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to discuss any concerns with the prescribing doctor. You should stop taking GLP-1 and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. The doctor will provide clear guidance on monitoring your health while on treatment.
