Who qualifies for weight loss medication

When you complete the medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to determine if weight loss medication like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), or liraglutide (Saxenda) is appropriate for you. Generally, you must be an adult 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 health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Certain medical conditions, such as a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, are contraindications. The doctor will review your full medical history to ensure your safety and suitability for treatment.

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

Medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work by mimicking natural hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. These medications are not a magic bullet; they are most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. You can expect a gradual reduction in weight, with many patients seeing noticeable results within a few months. Consistent use, as prescribed, is key to achieving and maintaining weight loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medication and seek urgent medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide detailed information on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
