Medical Weight Loss · Eligibility Check
Am I a candidate for GLP-1 weight-loss medication?
A few quick questions to see whether you might meet the medical criteria for semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Zepbound), and what to confirm with a provider.
Educational only — not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription. These are prescription medications; only a licensed medical provider can confirm eligibility, screen for contraindications, and prescribe. For adults; anyone under 18 must be assessed by a provider.
