Who qualifies for GLP-1

When you seek a GLP-1 prescription online, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure your safety and the medication's effectiveness. 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to determine if GLP-1 is appropriate for you.

What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)

GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates blood sugar and appetite. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce food cravings, and slow down gastric emptying. This can lead to significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is not a magic pill; it supports your weight management journey. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects vary, but consistent use over several weeks to months is typically required to see substantial results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often subside as your body adjusts. Less common but serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. You should stop taking GLP-1 and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects and red flags with you during the consultation.
