(Glucagon-like peptide-1)
Ideal Candidates

Patients with a BMI of 30 or higher are
considered obese, and those with a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions may also be candidates for GLP1s.
Unsuccessful Previous Weight Loss Attempts
Patients who have tried other weight loss
methods, such as diet and exercise, without
significant and sustained weight loss are ideal
candidates for GLP1s.

Individuals with obesity-related conditions like
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2
diabetes, or sleep apnea may benefit significantly from GLP1s, as it can help improve these conditions along with weight loss.
