Is switching injectable weight loss medication safe if I have another condition?

Any switch between injectable weight loss medications is carried out with full medical oversight. A licensed clinician reviews your health information to ensure that switching medications is safe and appropriate for you.


Clinical review and medical oversight

Before approving a switch, your clinician will assess:

  • Your medical history

  • Your current health status

  • Any existing medical conditions

  • All medications and supplements you are currently taking

This review helps the clinician determine whether switching injectable weight loss medication is suitable and safe for your individual situation.


Your responsibility during the consultation

It is important that you provide accurate and complete information during your consultation, including details about your medical history, ongoing conditions, and current medications. This information is essential for your clinician to make a safe and informed decision.

Your safety is always the top priority when considering a switch in injectable weight loss treatment.
