Who qualifies for weight loss medication

EU-licensed doctors review every case individually to ensure safety and appropriateness. Generally, they look for patients who meet specific criteria for medications like Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), or Saxenda (liraglutide), which are GLP-1 receptor agonists. Key factors include:

• Body Mass Index (BMI): Typically, a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol).
• Medical history: Doctors assess your overall health, including any existing conditions, previous weight loss attempts, and other medications you are taking.
• Contraindications: Certain conditions, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding, may make these medications unsuitable.

The doctor's goal is to determine if the benefits of the medication outweigh any potential risks for you.

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

Medications like semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and liraglutide (Saxenda) are GLP-1 receptor agonists (Mounjaro also includes GIP). They work by mimicking natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This leads to:

• Reduced appetite: You feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie intake.
• Slower stomach emptying: This contributes to prolonged feelings of fullness.
• Improved blood sugar control: Beneficial for those with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

What they don't do: they are not magic pills. These medications are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. They assist in weight loss, but consistent lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss often extend over several months, with average results varying by medication.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss injections can have side effects. Most are mild and temporary, especially when starting treatment. Common side effects include:

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Fatigue

These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, it's essential to be aware of red flags and when to contact your doctor:

• Severe abdominal pain: Could indicate pancreatitis or gallbladder issues.
• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea: Risk of dehydration.
• Signs of an allergic reaction: Swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, severe rash.
• Depression or suicidal thoughts: Though rare, report any mood changes immediately.

Always discuss any concerning side effects with your Hi Doctor physician. They can advise on managing symptoms, adjusting your dosage, or discontinuing the medication if necessary.
