Who qualifies for weight loss medication
When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor, they assess several factors to determine if weight loss medication, such as a GLP-1 like semaglutide or tirzepatide, is appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for patients 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will also review your medical history to identify any contraindications, ensuring the treatment is safe and effective for your individual health profile. Your doctor will make a decision based on your specific circumstances.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Many popular weight loss medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. They can help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This mechanism supports weight loss by reducing your overall calorie intake. While these medications are powerful tools, they are not a 'magic bullet.' They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You can expect a gradual and sustainable weight loss over time, not instant results. Your doctor will discuss realistic timelines and what you can expect from the treatment if it's prescribed.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary. Your Hi-Doctor will provide detailed information on potential side effects and how to manage them. It's crucial to report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor immediately. In some cases, the doctor may advise adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the medication if side effects are intolerable or if the treatment is not proving effective for you.
