Is it right for me?
Who it's for.
It may suit you if you have significant weight to lose, or a condition that contributes to weight gain.
Injectable medications may not be right if you are pregnant, or if you or your family have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. We review your history to decide what's safe for you.
