4. Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU (including Waterford) to collect your GLP-1 medication.

Who qualifies for GLP-1

GLP-1 medications are powerful tools for weight management and blood sugar control, but they are not for everyone. When you submit your medical questionnaire, the doctor assesses several factors, including:

• Your current Body Mass Index (BMI).
• Your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or kidney disease.
• Other medications you are currently taking.
• Any contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.

The doctor's primary goal is to ensure your safety and that GLP-1 is the right, most effective treatment 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 called glucagon-like peptide-1. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin release when blood sugar levels are high and reducing glucagon secretion. It also slows gastric emptying, which helps you feel fuller for longer, and can reduce appetite. This combination of effects makes GLP-1s effective for weight management and improving glycemic control.

It's important to understand that GLP-1 is not a 'magic bullet'. While highly effective for many, it works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Results are gradual, typically becoming noticeable over several weeks to months, and are sustained with continued use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside over time. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney issues, and allergic reactions.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing). The doctor reviewing your case will discuss potential side effects and when it might be necessary to discontinue the medication.
