GLP-1 Eligibility Criteria (FDA-Approved Labeling, 2026)
Semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are FDA-approved for adults who meet one of these criteria: BMI ≥30 (obesity), or BMI ≥27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity — type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), or obstructive sleep apnea.
Key exclusions: type 1 diabetes, personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), history of pancreatitis, active cancer, eating disorders, pregnancy. All telehealth providers conduct physician review before prescribing.
Most telehealth GLP-1 programs (Gala, TrimRX, and others) follow these same eligibility criteria. Available in most US states. A physician reviews every case before prescribing — eligibility assessment is free. Learn how GLP-1 medications work →
