Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine suitability for weight loss medication. Generally, candidates for GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia). The doctor looks for your overall health profile, medical history, and existing conditions to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. Certain contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will be carefully evaluated.

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

Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists, 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 a reduced calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. While highly effective, these medications are not a magic bullet. They are most successful when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines involve gradual, steady weight loss over several months, not overnight transformations. The goal is sustainable, long-term weight management, not just rapid short-term loss.

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. More serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions closely and report any concerning or persistent side effects immediately. The doctor will advise you on when to stop or adjust your medication, which may happen if side effects are unmanageable, if you're not achieving sufficient weight loss, or if your medical condition changes.
