Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to ensure safe and effective treatment. Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria for GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro), or other weight loss medications such as liraglutide (Saxenda) or orlistat (Xenical). This often includes:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
• A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol).
• A commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, as these medications work best when combined with healthy habits.
• No contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.

The doctor will review your medical history and current health status through the online questionnaire to determine if the treatment is appropriate for you.

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

Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down gastric emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss.

It's important to understand that these medications are not a magic bullet. They are tools to support your weight loss journey when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Results are gradual; most patients begin to see noticeable changes within a few weeks, with more substantial weight loss occurring over several months. They do not replace the need for lifestyle changes but enhance their effectiveness. Consistency in taking your medication is key to achieving and maintaining desired outcomes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for GLP-1 agonists often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. For orlistat, common side effects are related to fat absorption, such as oily stools or increased bowel movements.

It is crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects. You should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms like severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician will provide comprehensive guidance on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
