Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each case to ensure the weight loss medication is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria, often based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and existing health conditions. For GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, a common requirement is a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will also be reviewed.

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

Weight loss medications, especially GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas in the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and slower stomach emptying, helping you eat less and lose weight. It's a powerful tool, but it's not a magic bullet. These medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise. Realistic timelines suggest gradual weight loss over several months, not overnight. The goal is sustainable, long-term health improvements, not quick fixes. Always remember: the medication supports your efforts; it doesn't replace them.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can occur. It's crucial to communicate any side effects to your Hi-Doctor physician through the private chat in your account. Your doctor will advise if a dosage adjustment is needed or if you should stop the medication. Never discontinue treatment without medical advice. Your health and safety are our top priority.
