Who qualifies for GLP-1 medication (Semaglutide/Tirzepatide)

EU-licensed doctors assess your suitability for GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide (Wegovy) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria, often including a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia). Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding.

What GLP-1 medication actually does (and doesn't do)

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by mimicking natural hormones your body releases after you eat. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reduce appetite. They also help regulate blood sugar levels. This leads to reduced calorie intake and significant weight loss over time when combined with diet and exercise. These medications are not a 'magic pill'; they are a tool to support sustainable weight management, typically showing noticeable results over several months, not weeks.

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 the dose. These often lessen over time. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. You should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full guidance and monitor your progress through secure chat.
