GLP-1 Eligibility Checker

You are FDA-eligible for a GLP-1 weight-loss prescription if your BMI is 30+ (or 27+ with a weight-related comorbidity like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or dyslipidemia). The decision tree below walks you through the official Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro criteria, screens for absolute contraindications, and tells you whether to pursue a prescription — or what to discuss with your prescriber first.

Why are you considering a GLP-1 medication?

Pick the closest match. We branch the rest of the questions based on this answer.

Educational tool only. Not a clinical assessment. Your prescriber must confirm eligibility, order labs, and screen for personal contraindications before any prescription.

What this checker evaluates

FDA BMI & A1C criteria

Wegovy/Zepbound require BMI ≥30 (or ≥27 with comorbidity). Ozempic/Mounjaro require a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. We branch the question flow so you only see the criteria that apply to you.

Boxed-warning contraindications

MTC / MEN 2 family history is an absolute contraindication on every GLP-1 label. Pregnancy and severe gastroparesis are also screening priorities — we flag any of these as hard stops.

Relative cautions

Prior pancreatitis, type 1 diabetes, and severe kidney impairment require specialist evaluation before starting. The tool surfaces these as caveats rather than hard stops.

Practical fit

Self-injection comfort and budget realism. If oral-only is required, we surface Rybelsus. If self-pay budget is tight, we flag the typical $349–$650/month range before you commit.

Important — read before using this tool

  • Not a substitute for medical advice. Your prescriber must confirm eligibility, order baseline labs (lipase, A1C, kidney function), and review your full medical history before writing a prescription.
  • Information sourced from FDA labels. We reference the prescribing information for Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro. FDA labels update — we re-verify these criteria quarterly.
  • No data stored. Your answers stay in your browser. We never log or save responses.
  • Pregnancy concerns? Talk to your OB/GYN immediately. GLP-1s are not recommended during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.
