Frequently asked questions
GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide and liraglutide) are a class of medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have been shown to significantly aid weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels, helping you feel full sooner and reducing cravings.
GLP-1 medication is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Our screening questionnaire and doctor consultation will determine if it's right for you.
The most common side effects are mild and tend to improve over time. These include nausea, reduced appetite, and digestive discomfort. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects during your consultation and help you manage them with proper dosing.
Most patients begin to notice reduced appetite within the first week or two. Meaningful weight loss typically becomes visible within 4-8 weeks. Your doctor will set realistic expectations based on your individual health profile during your consultation.
Yes. There are no long-term contracts or commitments. You can pause or stop your treatment at any time by letting your doctor know. We recommend consulting with your doctor before discontinuing medication.
Absolutely. GLP-1 medications are Schedule 4 substances approved by SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority). All prescriptions are issued by HPCSA-registered doctors, and medication is dispensed by licensed South African pharmacies.
