Who qualifies for prescription weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your eligibility based on established medical guidelines. Typically, for GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro), the doctor looks for:

  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
  • 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.
  • No contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe gastrointestinal disease.

The doctor reviews your full medical history and current health status to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for your specific situation.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Prescription weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) and liraglutide (Saxenda), or dual GLP-1/GIP agonists like tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss.

These medications are powerful tools, but they are not magic bullets. They are most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You can expect gradual, sustained weight loss, typically over several months, rather than rapid, drastic changes. Realistic expectations are key: these medications support your efforts, they don't replace them.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, prescription weight loss drugs can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts.

However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects. These can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction, you must seek immediate medical attention and stop the medication. Your Hi-Doctor doctor provides detailed information on potential side effects and will advise you on when to seek further medical care if necessary.
