Who qualifies for GLP-1

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide is appropriate. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will evaluate your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure GLP-1 is safe and effective for your specific health profile.

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

GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural gut hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. This leads to increased feelings of fullness, reduced food cravings, and slower stomach emptying. For many, this results in significant and sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It supports your efforts, but it doesn't replace the need for healthy eating and physical activity. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects vary, but consistent use over several months is typically required to achieve significant results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can occur. You should stop GLP-1 and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor will discuss all potential side effects and red flags with you, ensuring you know what to look for and when to seek further advice.
