Who qualifies for weight loss medication

EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if weight loss medication, such as GLP-1 agonists 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Contraindications that may prevent a prescription include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. Your doctor will assess your full medical history through the online questionnaire to ensure your safety and the medication's effectiveness.

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

Weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking a hormone naturally produced in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This leads to feeling fuller for longer, reduced food cravings, and slower stomach emptying. These effects help you eat less and lose weight.

While effective, these medications are not a magic bullet. They are most successful when combined with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic weight loss can range from 10-20% of initial body weight over several months to a year. It's important to understand that these medications support weight loss; they do not replace the need for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time as your body adjusts.

More serious, though rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It is crucial to inform your prescribing doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Your doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and guide you on when to seek medical attention or consider stopping the medication.
