Who qualifies for weight loss medication
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure your safety and suitability for weight loss medication such as GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide). Generally, doctors look for a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes). Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. The doctor will assess your full medical history through the questionnaire to determine if treatment is appropriate for you.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to a reduction in food intake and, consequently, weight loss. Patients typically see significant results over several months, not weeks. These medications are a tool to support weight loss, not a magic bullet; they are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes including diet and exercise. They do not guarantee instant or specific weight loss outcomes.

Side effects and when to stop
Common side effects of weight loss medications can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any concerning symptoms. You should stop the medication and seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will provide guidance on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
