Who qualifies for GLP-1
When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to determine if GLP-1 is appropriate for you. This typically includes a Body Mass Index (BMI) at or above a certain threshold (e.g., 30 kg/m², or 27 kg/m² with weight-related comorbidities), and a medical history free of specific contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Your doctor will also assess other health conditions, current medications, and lifestyle factors to ensure GLP-1 is safe and effective for your individual case.
What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide work by mimicking a natural gut hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reduce your desire to eat. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is not a magic bullet; it's a tool that works best when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, not weeks, and results vary from person to person. It doesn't replace healthy habits but supports them.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, GLP-1 can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. The doctor will discuss potential side effects with you during the consultation and advise on when to seek medical attention or consider stopping the medication.
