Dokter Naas talking with a patient about medical weight loss at a laptop in the Qlinic consulting room

Medical weight loss is losing weight under the supervision of a doctor, with medication as a possible addition to diet and exercise. Your doctor first checks whether it suits you, follows your programme and adjusts where needed.

Ik ben ontzettend blij dat ik de stap naar medisch afvallen heb gezet. In het begin was ik eerlijk gezegd best sceptisch, maar dankzij de fijne en professionele begeleiding voelde het al snel vertrouwd en durfde ik ervoor te gaan. Alles werd duidelijk uitgelegd en ik voelde me echt gehoord. De communicatie verliep super soepel en dat gaf veel rust. Omdat ik ver weg woon, vond ik het ook erg prettig dat de medicatie gewoon aan huis werd bezorgd, dat maakte het hele traject een stuk toegankelijker. Al met al ben ik heel tevreden en raad ik iedereen dit bedrijf aan!

How a tablet works

The tablet contains a substance that mimics GLP-1, a hormone your body makes itself. That hormone regulates your appetite and how full you feel. The medication supports you; diet and exercise remain the foundation of the programme.

A hormone your body already knows

GLP-1 is released in your gut after eating and tells your brain you have had enough. Your own GLP-1 is broken down within a few minutes, so that signal is short-lived.

The tablet holds on to that signal

The active ingredient resembles GLP-1 but is broken down much more slowly. The feeling-full signal therefore stays present: you feel less hungry, full sooner and satisfied for longer.

Every day, at a fixed time

You take the tablet daily. Your body absorbs the active ingredient less easily through the stomach, so when and how you take it matters. Your doctor explains exactly how to do that.

What are the side effects?

We start low and build up slowly, precisely to limit side effects. We adjust the dosage if needed, and your doctor is directly reachable, also between consultations.

Patient information leaflet (CBG)Report side effects (Lareb)

Common, mostly in the first weeks

Nausea: Mainly in the first weeks, usually eases
Stomach and bowel complaints: Such as constipation or diarrhoea
Tiredness: Often temporary, discuss it in your consultation

Rare, but worth knowing

Inflammation of the pancreas: Severe, persistent abdominal pain
Gallstones: Pain in the upper right abdomen
Severe allergic reaction: Swelling or difficulty breathing

Contact us straight away if

You have persistent, severe abdominal pain
You keep vomiting and cannot keep anything down
You develop swelling or difficulty breathing

You can reach your doctor directly on 085 760 6121. In an emergency, call 112.

What results can you expect?

The effect on your appetite builds up over the first weeks; the effect on your weight follows gradually. How much and how fast differs from person to person; you follow that together with your doctor.

Less hunger builds up

With a tablet, the active ingredient builds up in your body over the first weeks. You therefore notice less hunger and feeling full sooner step by step, while the doctor increases the dosage.

Your weight follows gradually

You start on a low dose so your body can adjust. Because you eat less, your weight gradually falls over the following weeks and months. How fast that happens cannot be predicted in advance, which is why we do not give a target weight.

Taking stock around week twelve

Your doctor follows the whole programme and adjusts where needed. Around week twelve you look together at whether it delivers what you expect, and decide on the next steps.

Weight loss during menopause

Gaining weight since the menopause, even though you have not changed how you eat? In the years around your last period, your ovaries produce less and less oestrogen. That shift changes how your body handles fat, muscle and energy, which is why the approach that used to work often falls short now.

What changes in your body

Your body stores fat more readily, especially around your belly, while your muscle mass decreases. With less muscle you burn less energy at rest. Hot flushes and poor sleep add to your tiredness and your cravings for sweet foods.

What you can do yourself

Protein-rich food, strength training and enough sleep work best together. A crash diet backfires: you mainly lose muscle mass, which makes losing weight even harder afterwards.

When medication comes into the picture

If you cannot lose weight despite a healthy lifestyle, the doctor assesses whether GLP-1 medication suits your situation. With a consultation every four weeks, the programme stays tuned to how your body responds.

Weight gain during the menopause is common and has a hormonal cause. Precisely because the answer is not simply “eating less”, medical support can help: the doctor looks at your situation, your hormones and what you have already tried. Many of our patients are in this phase. What changes in your body and what you can do about it is explained in our overview of weight loss during the menopause.
