Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if prescription weight loss medication is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

• 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).
• No severe heart, kidney, or liver conditions.
• Not pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor ensures the treatment aligns with your overall health profile and medical history.

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

Prescription weight loss medications, like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide), 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 pills. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. They help you adhere to these changes by making it easier to manage hunger. Results are gradual and vary by individual, typically unfolding over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often lessen over time. Your doctor will discuss these with you and provide guidance on how to manage them.

More serious side effects are rare but possible. It's crucial to report any severe or persistent symptoms to your doctor immediately. You should stop the medication if you experience severe abdominal pain (which could indicate pancreatitis), persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor physician will monitor your progress and advise on dosage adjustments or discontinuation if necessary.
