Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually. Generally, they look for specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. For GLP-1 receptor agonists like Wegovy, Saxenda, or Mounjaro, a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher is typically required. For individuals with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher, the medication may be considered if you also have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications may include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe gastrointestinal disease. The doctor will review your full medical history during the online consultation to determine if a weight loss 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 (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reduce food cravings. This helps you eat less and lose weight. Orlistat (Xenical) works differently, by blocking the absorption of dietary fat.

It's important to understand that these medications are tools, not magic bullets. They are most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. While many patients experience significant weight loss, results vary, and the medication does not eliminate the need for personal effort. It provides crucial support to help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for GLP-1 agonists include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary. For Orlistat, common side effects include oily stools, flatulence, and fecal urgency.

While serious side effects are rare, it's crucial to be aware of them. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, you should contact a doctor immediately. Our EU-licensed doctors will discuss potential side effects and red flags during your consultation. If the side effects become unmanageable or if the medication isn't yielding results, the doctor will advise on adjusting your treatment plan or discontinuing the medication safely.
