GLP-1 medications
A class of prescription medicines used alongside nutrition and activity support.
GLP-1 medicines act on appetite and blood sugar signals. They are one tool within a broader plan, are not right for everyone, and are always prescribed and monitored individually.
- Interest in medical support alongside lifestyle changes
- Weight-related conditions such as prediabetes or high blood pressure
- Previous plans that have not held
Suitability is assessed individually, including your history, other conditions, other medicines and personal preferences. If a medicine is appropriate, your clinician explains benefits, possible side effects and monitoring, and reviews you regularly. This page does not provide doses or prescribing detail — those decisions belong in your visit.
- Keep protein and fluids up while appetite is lower
- Continue strength activity to protect muscle
- Eat slowly and stop at comfortable fullness
- Report side effects rather than stopping on your own
