Who qualifies for weight loss medication

An EU-licensed doctor will assess your eligibility for a weight loss prescription, typically considering criteria such as your Body Mass Index (BMI) and overall health. For GLP-1 medications like Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), or Saxenda (liraglutide), common guidelines include:

• A BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
• A BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

The doctor will also check for contraindications, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or pancreatitis. Your full medical history, current medications, and any allergies are crucial for the doctor to determine if a weight loss prescription is appropriate and safe for you.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 agonists like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Saxenda, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down gastric emptying. This leads to a reduced caloric intake and, consequently, weight loss.

It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support weight loss, not a standalone solution. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You should expect gradual, sustainable weight loss over several months, rather than rapid, dramatic results. The goal is to achieve and maintain a healthier weight, improving overall health and reducing the risk of weight-related conditions.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones for GLP-1 agonists include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts.

However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects such as pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction. The consulting doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and red flags during your online consultation. If side effects become unmanageable or concerning, you should stop the medication and seek medical advice.
