Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks at several key criteria to determine if Semaglutide is right for you. Generally, Semaglutide is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of:

  • 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
  • 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidaemia.

Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or severe kidney disease. Your doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure Semaglutide is safe and appropriate for your health.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means it mimics a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. It works by:

  • Slowing gastric emptying: You feel fuller for longer after meals.
  • Reducing appetite: It signals your brain to reduce hunger.
  • Improving blood sugar control: It helps your body release insulin when needed.

This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. Semaglutide is not a magic pill; it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Results are gradual and realistic, with typical weight loss occurring over several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Most are mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation. To manage these, your doctor may advise you to eat smaller meals, avoid fatty foods, and stay hydrated.

It’s important to contact your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects, such as intense abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis (severe pain in your stomach or back), or allergic reactions (swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing). Your doctor will guide you on whether to adjust your dose or stop treatment.
