Obesity is a complex medical condition. The doctor evaluates metabolic, hormonal and cardiovascular factors before proposing any option.

What it is

Obesity is assessed individually rather than through a fixed checklist — metabolic, hormonal and cardiovascular history all factor into what, if anything, a doctor proposes.

Treatments a doctor considers

A licensed doctor decides case by case, never automatically — payment for the medical consultation is only taken once an option has been reviewed.

Semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic)

Weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist. A doctor may prescribe it if BMI and history match the indications. Requires follow-up.

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

Dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, assessed by the doctor based on comorbidities and BMI. See the Mounjaro page for full detail.

Liraglutide (Saxenda)

Daily GLP-1 agonist, indicated in selected patients with elevated BMI after medical evaluation.

Orlistat 120mg

Fat-absorption inhibitor, a non-GLP-1 alternative a doctor may consider. See the alli / orlistat page.
Rybelsus — a once-daily semaglutide tablet, authorised in the EU for type 2 diabetes. Any use in weight management is an individual medical decision and may be off-label.

How Hi-Doctor handles it

The questionnaire covers height and weight, medical history, current medication and previous weight-loss treatment; a body mass index is calculated from the answers and forms part of the eligibility decision — see how eligibility works and how safety checks run. Weight loss is available as a one-off consultation or an ongoing plan; the cost is set out on pricing. Any medicine a doctor prescribes is paid separately at a pharmacy.

Weight-loss consultation

Answer the weight-loss questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it. They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose — and declining is a normal outcome. See what it costs and how the review works.
