Do You Qualify for a GLP-1 Prescription?
GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for specific indications. For weight loss, providers typically follow guidelines that require a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27+ with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
For type 2 diabetes, the eligibility criteria are different and depend on your diagnosis and current treatment plan.
Most telehealth platforms will conduct a brief screening before your consultation to confirm you likely qualify. This prevents wasted time if you don't meet the basic criteria.
