Am I a candidate for a GLP-1?

A quick, plain-English self-check based on the FDA's general labeling criteria — to help you decide whether it's worth raising with a clinician. It is not a medical eligibility decision; only a licensed clinician can make that.

Read this first. This tool is educational, not medical advice, and not a diagnosis or an eligibility determination. Whether a GLP-1 is right — and safe — for you depends on your full medical history and is a decision only a licensed clinician can make. Don't start, stop, or change any medication based on what you see here. Your answers are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to us or stored.

Important health history

These are reasons a GLP-1 may not be safe for you — worth flagging.

BMI is a blunt screening tool that ignores muscle and body composition, and the FDA criteria shown here are general — a clinician weighs your whole picture. This check exists to help you start that conversation, not replace it.
