Who qualifies for Liraglutide

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, primarily prescribed for weight management. When an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, they look for specific criteria:

• BMI (Body Mass Index): Typically, Liraglutide is considered if your BMI is 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
• Medical History: The doctor assesses your complete medical history to ensure no contraindications exist. This includes checking for a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, severe kidney or liver disease, or severe heart failure.
• Current Medications: They check for potential interactions with other medicines you are taking.
• Commitment to Lifestyle Changes: Liraglutide works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The doctor ensures you understand this requirement.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper; they will only issue a prescription if they find the treatment medically appropriate for your individual health profile.

What Liraglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Liraglutide mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1, which plays a key role in appetite regulation. Here's how it works:

• Reduces Appetite: It makes you feel fuller, so you eat less.
• Slows Gastric Emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to prolonged satiety.
• Impacts Blood Sugar: While not a primary diabetes treatment at this dose, it helps manage blood sugar levels.

It's important to understand that Liraglutide is not a quick fix. Weight loss is gradual and requires consistent adherence to a healthy lifestyle. You won't see results overnight; realistic timelines involve several months to achieve meaningful weight reduction when combined with diet and exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Liraglutide can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary as your body adjusts:

• Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain are frequently reported, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside over time.
• Less common, but serious side effects: Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and increased heart rate.

When to stop: You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain (a sign of pancreatitis), persistent vomiting or diarrhea leading to dehydration, or any severe allergic reaction. The doctor will monitor your progress and advise on continuing or stopping treatment based on your response and any side effects. Never adjust your dose or stop medication without medical advice.
