About this treatment
The GLP-1 Medical Weight Management Programme at The Metabolic Clinic is Singapore's most comprehensive specialist service for obesity pharmacotherapy, designed for adults with a BMI of 27.5 or above (or 23+ with weight-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia).
GLP-1 receptor agonists — including semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and liraglutide (Saxenda) — work by mimicking the natural glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone, which regulates appetite, slows gastric emptying, reduces food cravings, and improves insulin sensitivity. Clinical trials (STEP 1 trial for semaglutide) have demonstrated mean weight loss of 14.9% of body weight over 68 weeks, compared to 2.4% with placebo — representing a paradigm shift in obesity…
The programme begins with an initial physician consultation lasting approximately 60 minutes, during which a full medical history is taken, weight and metabolic parameters assessed, and suitability for GLP-1 therapy confirmed. A baseline metabolic blood panel is ordered to rule out contraindications (pancreatitis history, medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2 syndrome) and to establish baseline cardiometabolic health markers.
