Who qualifies for weight management medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each case to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). They will also consider your medical history for any contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

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

Weight management medications, often GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reduce food cravings. This helps you consume fewer calories and lose weight. It's important to understand these medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise. They are not a 'magic pill' but a tool to support your weight loss journey. Realistic weight loss typically occurs over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight management treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside over time. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. You should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing). Always discuss any concerns with your doctor.
