Who qualifies for the medication
Our EU-licensed doctors assess your medical history and current health status to determine if the medication is suitable for you. Generally, they look for specific health indicators and rule out contraindications. For weight management medications, for example, doctors typically require a certain BMI (Body Mass Index) or co-morbidities. It is crucial that you provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan. The doctor acts as your gatekeeper, ensuring the medication is appropriate for your specific case.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
The medication works by targeting specific pathways in your body to achieve its therapeutic effect. For instance, if it's a GLP-1 analogue, it mimics a natural hormone to regulate appetite and blood sugar. You can expect to see initial effects within a few weeks, with full benefits often manifesting over several months. It is important to understand that medication is part of a broader health strategy and works best when combined with other lifestyle adjustments. It is not a magic bullet, but a tool to support your health goals.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, this treatment can have side effects. Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as nausea, dizziness, or fatigue. Your doctor will discuss these with you during the review of your case. It's important to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects and to know when to seek immediate medical attention. Always follow your doctor's instructions. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if your condition worsens, contact a healthcare professional immediately. The doctor will advise you on when and how to discontinue the medication if necessary.
