Our weight loss medications are for patients with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, or ≥27 with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity. Patients with type 1 diabetes are not eligible for treatment. You may use our BMI calculator to check your eligibility or speak to our doctors to find out suitability for treatment.

Results vary from person to person especially taking into account lifestyle and diet.

However, clinical research from studies of these medications have been proven to successfully reduce body weight in 85% of patients with the average weight loss being 9.5kg. Majority of patients from these studies were able to achieve and maintain clinically meaningful weight loss in the long term with balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

You are expected to lose 5% or more of your body weight after the first 16 weeks of treatment. If you do not achieve 5% weight loss, you are advised to discontinue use of medication and speak to our doctors for alternative treatments.
