Who qualifies for weight loss medication
When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor online, they assess several factors to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) that meets specific criteria, often over 27 or 30, especially if you have weight-related health conditions. They also consider your overall health history, existing medical conditions, and any contraindications. This includes checking for allergies to active or inactive ingredients in the medication. The doctor's review ensures the treatment is safe and effective for your individual needs.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This mechanism supports weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to assist your weight loss journey, not a magic bullet. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, with consistent use and lifestyle changes. They are not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss drugs can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These often improve over time. More serious, though rare, side effects can occur. You should stop the medication and seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, signs of an allergic reaction (like swelling of the face or difficulty breathing), or any other concerning symptoms. Your prescribing doctor will provide detailed information on side effects and red flags during your online consultation.
