Do I Qualify for GLP-1 Medications?

Understanding eligibility

GLP-1 medications can be an effective treatment for some patients, but they aren't appropriate for everyone.

Your physician will determine whether treatment is suitable based on your individual health needs.

Does my BMI matter?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is one factor physicians consider when assessing treatment.

Many patients who receive GLP-1 medications have obesity or overweight with additional weight-related health conditions.

However, BMI is only one part of the overall assessment.

What else does my physician consider?

Your physician may review:

Every patient is different.

Yes. Your physician will review your information and determine whether treatment or another approach may be appropriate.

What if medication isn't recommended?

Your physician may recommend:
