Who qualifies for weight loss medication
To ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, the doctor looks for specific criteria in your case. Generally, weight loss medications like semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro) are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (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 assessed. The EU-licensed doctor reviews your full medical history to determine if the medication is appropriate for you.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. They help regulate blood sugar, slow stomach emptying, and reduce appetite, leading to decreased food intake and weight loss. You can expect a gradual reduction in weight over several months, alongside dietary and lifestyle changes. These medications are not a magic bullet; they are a tool to support your weight loss journey, not replace healthy habits. They work best when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are often mild and temporary. However, certain red flags, such as persistent severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or severe allergic reactions, require immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will guide you on managing side effects and advise when it might be necessary to stop the medication or adjust the dose, always prioritising your safety.
