About BMI and eligibility

In most countries, prescription weight loss medications are approved for adults with:

  • BMI ≥ 30 (obese range)
  • BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea)

BMI does not tell the full story — a doctor will also consider your overall health, medical history, and other factors.
