Can my doctor prescribe glp-1 for weight loss?

I've been trying to lose weight for so long, but kuch ho nahi raha with just diet and exercise. My friend in the US mentioned this GLP-1 medicine and how it really helped her. Can I talk to my doctor about getting a prescription for this for my weight loss journey?

Yes, a doctor can definitely prescribe it if you meet the medical criteria for it. But honestly, even if you start it, you have to keep moving. Daily 45 minutes of brisk walking along with whatever treatment your doc suggests works wonders for keeping the weight off.

Haan ji, they can prescribe it if your body really needs that support. Just stay positive and don't stress too much about the weight. Take care of your mind and let the doctors guide you on the right path.

They can, but only after proper blood tests and checking your health history. Don't expect a quick fix though, you still need to manage your diet alongside. Better to book an appointment with an endocrinologist first to see if you actually qualify.

Please go get a proper checkup done before thinking about these injections. I once ignored my rising sugar and weight issues thinking I could handle it myself, and it only got worse. Let a specialist run some tests and decide what is safe for you.
