Weight loss with medication
Look for appointment timesWeight loss with medication is suitable for individuals struggling with excess weight or obesity and for whom, in the physician’s assessment, medical weight-loss treatment may be appropriate.
According to the currently valid guidelines for the treatment of overweight and obesity, weight-loss medication is indicated for people with a BMI of 30 or higher, i.e. those with obesity. If a person has prediabetes/diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or another condition associated with excess body weight and its related health risks, treatment may also be initiated at a BMI of 27 or higher. The decision to start weight management treatment is a medical one and is made by the physician together with the patient during a consultation.
If the doctor confirms that treatment initiation is indicated, a prescription will be issued and a further treatment plan agreed upon. If weight-loss treatment is prescribed, monthly follow-up appointments with the doctor may be necessary during the first 3–6 months in order to monitor the patient’s health status and adjust the medication dosage if needed.
How does weight-loss treatment work?
- Initial assessment (video consultation or in-person appointment with laboratory tests)
- Treatment initiation based on the doctor’s decision
- Regular monitoring during the first months (included only in package)
- Dosage adjustment if necessary (included only in package)
Options for starting and monitoring treatment
The video consultation is suitable for those who wish to begin weight-loss treatment without visiting the clinic in person. The service includes completing an online questionnaire, a remote consultation with a physician, and, based on the doctor’s decision, a prescription.
Before the appointment, patients are asked to complete a health questionnaire (link included in the booking confirmation email). During the consultation, the physician assesses the patient’s health status, body weight, and previous medical history to determine whether weight loss with medication is suitable and safe. If necessary, the doctor may refer the patient for additional analyses or examinations at an extra cost.
If the doctor confirms the initiation of treatment, a digital prescription will be issued and a further treatment plan agreed upon.
Includes blood tests, a doctor’s appointment, and, based on the physician’s decision, the first dose of medication and injection training (including prescription).
First, blood tests and measurements are performed, after which the patient attends a consultation with the physician. During the consultation, the doctor evaluates the patient’s health status, reviews the blood test results, and determines whether weight-loss medication is suitable and safe. If the doctor confirms that treatment is necessary and indicated, the first dose of medication will be provided and the patient will receive injection training. Subsequent prescriptions are issued during follow-up weight management appointments. The timing of follow-up appointments is agreed with the treating physician.
If you decide to continue with the three-month Weight-Loss PLUS package after completing the Weight-Loss Treatment Package, the consultation fee will be deducted from the package price.
