Who qualifies for weight loss medication

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor assesses several factors to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you. Generally, these medications, such as GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), are considered for adults with 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., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea). Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, are carefully evaluated. The doctor looks for a comprehensive picture of your health to ensure safety and efficacy.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications work in various ways to support your weight management journey. GLP-1 agonists, for example, mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite, slows stomach emptying, and can lead to increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake. This helps you consume fewer calories and achieve a calorie deficit, which is essential for weight loss.

It's important to understand that these medications are tools to assist weight loss, not magic solutions. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. While many patients experience significant weight reduction, results vary. Do not expect instant, dramatic results; sustainable weight loss takes time and consistency.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects, especially with GLP-1 agonists, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, particularly when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often subside as your body adjusts. To minimise discomfort, eat smaller, bland meals, avoid greasy or spicy foods, and stay hydrated.

It's crucial to communicate any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. Red flags that warrant immediate medical attention include severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or severe allergic reactions. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on managing side effects and advise you on when it might be necessary to adjust your treatment plan or discontinue the medication if side effects are unmanageable or concerning.
