Who may be eligible for prescription Weight Loss treatment?

Learn what doctors consider before deciding whether treatment may be suitable.

Eligibility is decided by a doctor after reviewing your complete health information. It cannot be confirmed by an article, calculator, or questionnaire alone.

Your doctor may consider:

• Your BMI and weight history

• Any weight-related health conditions

• Your current medicines and possible interactions

• Previous Weight Loss treatments

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals

For some prescription treatments, adults with a BMI of 30 or above may be considered. Adults with a BMI from 27 to under 30 may need at least one weight-related health condition. These thresholds are only a starting point and do not guarantee treatment.

The safest next step is to complete the assessment and speak with a DarDoc doctor:
