Are GLP-1 Medications Right for right for me?
GLP-1 medications aren't appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your medical history before prescribing treatment. Particular caution may be necessary for patients with certain medical histories, including multiple endocrine neoplasia, pancreatitis, or previous intolerance to GLP-1 medications.
The best way to determine whether medical weight loss is appropriate for you is to request a consultation with our team.
