Who qualifies for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review your medical history and current health status. They look for specific criteria to ensure these GLP-1 medications are safe and appropriate for you.

• Body Mass Index (BMI): Typically, you must have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• Medical History: The doctor will assess for conditions like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or pancreatitis. These are contraindications for GLP-1 agonists.
• Current Medications: They will check for any potential drug interactions with your existing prescriptions.
• Overall Health: Your general health, including kidney and liver function, will also be considered.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring your safety above all else. If you meet the criteria and the doctor finds it appropriate, a prescription will be issued.

What Semaglutide and Tirzepatide actually do (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are both GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone in your body. They work by:

• Slowing Gastric Emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, making you feel fuller for extended periods.
• Reducing Appetite: They act on your brain to decrease hunger and cravings.
• Improving Blood Sugar Control: They help your body release insulin when blood sugar is high and reduce glucose production by the liver.

Tirzepatide has an additional mechanism; it also targets GIP receptors. This dual action can lead to greater weight loss for some individuals compared to Semaglutide alone. While these medications are powerful tools for weight management, they are not magic pills. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You will not lose 10 kg in a month, and results vary from person to person. The goal is sustainable, healthy weight loss over time.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can cause side effects. Most common side effects are mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication. These include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain

These usually improve over time. It's crucial to follow the doctor's instructions on dosage titration. Red flags that require immediate medical attention include severe abdominal pain (which could indicate pancreatitis or gallbladder issues), persistent vomiting, or symptoms of a severe allergic reaction. If you experience any concerning or severe side effects, you must stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Our doctors will guide you through potential side effects and what to look out for.
