Who qualifies for weight loss medication

The doctor carefully assesses your medical history and current health to determine if weight loss medication is right for you. Generally, these medications 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. The doctor will look for factors like your previous weight loss attempts, any existing medical conditions, and medications you are currently taking. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will also be considered to ensure your safety.

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

Medications like Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and can lead to significant weight loss. Saxenda (liraglutide) works similarly. Xenical/Orlistat, on the other hand, reduces the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs. While these medications are powerful tools, they are not a magic bullet. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss are typically several months, not weeks, and results vary from person to person. They do not eliminate the need for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones for GLP-1s include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. For Orlistat, oily stools are common. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and communicate any persistent or severe side effects immediately. The doctor will advise you on red flags that warrant stopping the medication and seeking urgent medical attention. Medical honesty builds trust, and your safety is paramount.
