Treatment begins with a medical assessment and blood work, not a prescription. If suitable, you start on a low weekly dose that steps up gradually, with dietitian support throughout.
Step 1: medical assessment
Your first appointment is a consultation, not a sale. It covers your weight history, what you have already tried, current medications, family history and any weight-related conditions.
Baseline blood work checks thyroid function, blood glucose, liver function and vitamin levels, so treatment starts from a known position rather than an assumption.
Step 2: deciding whether it is appropriate
Eligibility follows established criteria — generally a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 or above with a weight-related condition. Certain histories rule these medicines out entirely.
If injections are not right for you, we will say so and explain what is. Sometimes the appropriate answer is a dietitian-led programme, the gastric balloon, or surgery.
Step 3: starting treatment
You are taught to self-inject at home. The needle is very fine and most patients find it far easier than expected. The injection is weekly, on the same day each week.
You start on the lowest dose regardless of your goal, because tolerance is built gradually.
Step 4: the dose ladder and reviews
Doses step up at scheduled reviews over several months. At each review your team checks weight trend, side effects, nutrition and blood markers before adjusting anything.
This supervision is the difference between a prescription and a programme.
What it costs
Cost depends on the medicine prescribed, the dose you reach and the duration of treatment, since higher doses cost more. Consultation, dietitian support and reviews are part of the programme.
We will give you a clear picture of the expected monthly cost at consultation rather than after you have committed.
What support is included
Doctor consultations and reviews, a personalised diet plan, dietitian access, injection training, progress tracking, side-effect management and guidance on safe discontinuation.
The medicine opens a window. The support is what determines whether the result holds once that window closes.
Online consultations across India
The first consultation can be conducted by video, which suits patients outside Delhi NCR. History, goals and suitability can all be assessed remotely, and blood work can be arranged locally.
Certain elements still require an in-person visit, and your doctor will be clear about which. Follow-up reviews are frequently conducted online once treatment is established.
What to bring to your appointment
A list of all current medications and supplements including doses. Any recent blood reports. Details of previous weight loss attempts and any prior bariatric procedures.
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, thyroid disease, PCOS, sleep apnoea or fatty liver, bring those records. They shape both eligibility and choice of treatment.
Warning signs when choosing a provider
Be cautious of anywhere prescribing without blood work or a proper history, offering these medicines without a doctor consultation, selling compounded or unbranded versions, or guaranteeing a specific weight loss figure.
These are prescription medicines requiring genuine medical supervision. Anywhere treating them as a retail product is not managing your safety.
