Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors follow clinical guidelines to determine if weight loss medication is right for you. They look at factors such as your Body Mass Index (BMI), medical history, and any existing health conditions. Generally, these medications are considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Contraindications and potential interactions with other medications are carefully assessed to ensure your safety. Hi-Doctor doctors are the gatekeepers; they only prescribe if medically appropriate.

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

Medications like GLP-1 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 a reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support weight management, not magic bullets. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, and results vary per individual. They don't replace healthy habits but enhance their effectiveness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones often include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you and advise on what to look out for. It's crucial to communicate any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. You should stop the medication immediately and seek medical attention if you experience signs of pancreatitis (severe stomach pain), severe allergic reactions, or vision changes.
