“I don’t believe in quick promises. What matters is not the injection or the tablet, but the medical supervision behind it – the right prescription, regular monitoring and a plan that fits your life.”
During your medical consultation you will receive detailed information on possible dosage forms such as a weight-loss injection or pill. Thanks to digital consultation, e-prescription and the Weight Doctors® app, we offer GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy conveniently via telemedicine, independent of your location.
Fast & digital
From consultation to the start of therapy – digital, with no postal dispatch and no unnecessary waiting time. What makes it special: telemedical care from specialised Weight Doctors® specialists – in sync with the digital e-prescription.
In person, by phone or via video – including a check of your eligibility and a medical indication assessment.
If the indication assessment is positive, your specialist issues the e-prescription digitally. Our aim: usually within 24 hours of the consultation.
Redeem the e-prescription at a pharmacy of your choice – on site or online – and start your therapy right away.
The principle
Weight Doctors® GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy does without any medical procedure or surgery. Its core is medical therapy management: your specialist reviews your health situation, prescribes – where medically sensible – a suitable, modern medication and supports you with monthly progress monitoring. GLP-1 is the abbreviation for a naturally occurring gut hormone that modern obesity medicine takes its lead from. Your specialist will explain to you in detail what this means specifically for your therapy during your medical consultation.

What matters
It is not a particular product that takes centre stage, but your individual, specialist-led treatment.
After a careful medical history, your specialist decides, following a medical assessment, whether and which preparation is suitable for you.
Monthly medical follow-up consultation on active ingredient and dosage, evaluation of the treatment progress and adjustment of the medication plan by your specialist.
Your specialist leads and supervises your therapy medically. In addition, the 360 coaches (non-medical nutrition and behaviour support) and the digital tools of the Weight Doctors® Membership support you.
Dosage forms
GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy can take different dosage forms. Which one is suitable for you is determined by your specialist.
One possible dosage form – after medical instruction you conveniently administer it yourself.
A further dosage form in tablet form – following market launch and specialist prescription.
GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy and the weight-loss pill are example dosage forms. Whether and in which form a medication-based therapy makes sense and which preparation is prescribed is decided individually by your specialist after a medical assessment. There is no entitlement to a specific prescription.
Your path
An individual therapy period of 3–12 months – extendable by a further year on request, with medical supervision from beginning to end.
The therapy works entirely without surgery. In case of intolerance, it can be discontinued at any time under medical supervision. Whether and to what extent you benefit depends on your individual medical situation.
After specialist instruction you simply administer your medication yourself – conveniently from home.
The vast majority of patients are able to work and take part in social life at all times during the therapy.
The therapy can be combined with other Weight Doctors® measures – for example to stabilise after gastric reduction surgery. Your specialist will advise you individually.
Tolerability is continuously reviewed at the monthly check-ups and your therapy adjusted if needed.
Many patients report greater well-being after just a few weeks. We help you maintain this quality in the long term.
Eligibility
The therapy is generally suitable if:
The therapy is not suitable, among other situations, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in type 1 diabetes, and with certain pre-existing conditions and intolerances. Whether the therapy is suitable for you is decided individually by your specialist after a careful medical history.

FAQ
Weight Doctors® GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy is our medically led treatment concept for losing weight without a procedure. The focus is on medical therapy management: your specialist reviews your health situation, prescribes – where medically sensible – a modern GLP-1 medication and supports you with monthly progress monitoring. The structural foundation of the therapy is the Weight Doctors® Membership; it is built independently of any medication: it is not a particular product that takes centre stage, but your individual, specialist-led treatment.
It begins with a detailed specialist-led initial consultation with a careful medical history. If a medication-based therapy is suitable for you, you receive your individual prescription conveniently as an e-prescription, which you redeem at a pharmacy of your choice. During the therapy, your specialist supports you with monthly progress monitoring: weight, tolerability and progress are reviewed, and the dosage is adjusted if necessary. The therapy is individually planned for 3–12 months (extendable on request) and is supported by the digital tools of the Weight Doctors® Membership.
GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy can be administered in various dosage forms – for example as a weight-loss injection or pill. Which dosage form and which preparation are suitable for you is decided by your specialist individually after medical assessment. In your medical consultation, you will receive detailed information about the options available to you.
In principle, the therapy is an option for people with significant excess weight – usually from a BMI of 30, or from a BMI of 27 if there are weight-related concomitant conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or type 2 diabetes. Among others, it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in the case of certain pre-existing conditions and intolerances. Whether the therapy is an option for you is clarified by your specialist after taking a careful medical history. Should GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy not be an option for you, we will of course show you other possibilities.
A prerequisite for the GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy is the Weight Doctors® Membership; the fee is from €599 for 3 months or €1,399 for 12 months; the therapy runs individually over 3–12 months (extendable on request). Included are, among other things, the specialist-led initial consultation, the medical review of an individual prescription and the monthly progress monitoring; the medical services are billed on a private-fee basis. The medically prescribed medication is not included in the fee: you obtain it directly through your pharmacy. Statutory health insurers currently do not cover the costs; private health insurers may cover private-fee services individually, depending on the contract.
Weight Doctors® GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy is individually designed for 3–12 months – extendable by a further year on request. This leaves enough time to establish the therapy calmly, to monitor your progress closely and to change your eating and exercise habits sustainably. Towards the end of the therapy year, you discuss together with your specialist whether the therapy is continued or tapered off in a controlled manner.
Tolerability is continuously reviewed at the monthly progress monitoring appointments. Should side effects occur, contact us at any time: your specialist will then review the dosage, medication and dosage form and adjust your treatment plan – or end the therapy in a controlled way. It is important that you do not stop taking your medication on your own without consulting your doctor. In the event of acute symptoms or signs of a severe allergic reaction, please seek medical help immediately.
Yes. The GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy can be combined with other measures offered by Weight Doctors – for example before, during or after a gastric reduction procedure or to stabilise your weight as part of Weight Doctors® RESHAPE. Whether and how a combination makes sense in your case is something you discuss with your specialist in the medical consultation.
Not the only option
The GLP-1 Pharmacotherapy is one of several paths. For anyone seeking a non-medication-based, immediately available option, Weight Doctors® hydroGMA could be an option – an approximately 30-minute endoscopic procedure without an incision that acts on the hunger hormone ghrelin. Together in the consultation, we find out which path best suits your goals and your medical situation.
