Information on medication
In order to reduce weight, tablets, i.e. an oral dosage form, can also be considered for your treatment. These medicines are only available on prescription and should only be prescribed after a careful medical history and consultation, taking into account any concomitant illnesses, for example.
At The Body Clinic, our doctors determine in a personal consultation with you whether and which medications are suitable for your treatment. Only if the indication is positive will these be prescribed and sent to you conveniently and discreetly by our partner pharmacy on request.

Indication for the use of tablets for weight loss
To be eligible for medical weight loss with tablets, you must fulfill one of the following indications:
| BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition, such as: Dysglycemia (prediabetes or type 2 diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia (a disorder of fat metabolism) or obstructive sleep apnea |
| BMI ≥ 30 |
Effect of weight loss tablets
The effect of the medication is similar to the natural GLP-1 hormone. It has an appetite-suppressing effect by reducing the feeling of hunger and increasing the feeling of satiety. The tablets are only available on prescription. They are not suitable for everyone and can sometimes cause severe side effects. It is important to consult a doctor and read the package leaflet.
Safety of weight loss tablets
The medicines we prescribe are approved by the European Commission and other health authorities, which means that they have been classified as safe and effective following intensive, regulated testing.
Tablets for weight loss can cause (sometimes severe) side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. You can read about the most common side effects under the menu item Medication. In Germany, weight loss tablets are only available on prescription.
FAQs on medical weight loss with tablets
Which medications are used at The Body Clinic?
Further information on the medications used in the medical weight loss programs with tablets can be found on the medication page. If you have any questions, please contact us by phone (030 2332-05740), by e-mail ([email protected]) or book a free initial consultation with our medical assistant. To do this, click on Make an appointment to make an appointment on Doctolib.
What result can I expect?
It is difficult to give an exact figure in advance, as weight loss depends on individual factors such as starting weight. Most people experience weight loss in the first week. The lower limit after 12 weeks is a weight loss of 5% of the starting weight. If this is not the case, the treatment will be terminated in consultation.
What are the side effects?
Tablets for weight loss can cause (sometimes severe) side effects. Take a look at the overview of medications with the corresponding side effects and package inserts here.
If you experience (other) side effects, we recommend that you contact your doctor at The Body Clinic.
Can I receive the medication without being accompanied by a doctor or dietician?
No. The medication is only available on prescription and cannot be ordered without a doctor's prescription. At The Body Clinic, we offer weight loss with pills only as part of a program that includes at least one session with a medical weight loss nutrition coach, access to online fitness offerings and support materials. We believe in a holistic approach to help you achieve lasting and healthy weight loss. You will also be under the supervision of your treating physician throughout the program.

Can I also obtain the medication from my family doctor?
GPs can also prescribe weight loss medication, although the pharmacy must supply and stock the medication. However, some GPs do not feel sufficiently experienced in the use of GLP-1 medication and/or to carry out an accompanying program. According to clinical studies, patients lose more weight through a holistic approach, including nutritional counseling, than through medication alone.
The Body Clinic works closely with GPs and often receives referrals from patients who want to lose weight sustainably. Our nutrition coaches offer the right lifestyle advice.
Why is the program with tablets currently only available on request?
The drugs are currently subject to restrictions with regard to approval, use and/or availability.
For more information, please contact us by phone (030 2332-05740), by e-mail ([email protected]) or book a free initial consultation with our medical assistant.
