About BMI and eligibility

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

  • BMI of 30 or higher
  • BMI of 27 or higher 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.
