Who qualifies for weight loss medication
When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor, they look for specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. Generally, weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide) are considered for individuals with:
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
- A BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition (such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol).
The doctor carefully reviews your full medical history, existing conditions, current medications, and any contraindications. This includes screening for pregnancy, certain heart conditions, severe kidney or liver disease, or a history of specific psychiatric disorders. Your safety is always the priority. The doctor assesses if the potential benefits outweigh any risks for your individual health profile.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Many modern weight loss medications, especially GLP-1 agonists, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and can lead to significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. You can expect a gradual, steady reduction in weight, with many patients achieving 10-20% body weight loss over several months.
However, it's crucial to understand that these medications are not a magic bullet. They are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity. They support your efforts, but they don't replace the need for sustainable lifestyle changes.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Your doctor will discuss how to manage these. Less common, but more serious side effects can occur, and your doctor will advise you on red flags to watch for.
You should always follow your doctor's instructions. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if you have concerns, you must contact your doctor immediately. The doctor will guide you on whether to adjust your dosage or stop the medication if necessary.
