Pre-GLP-1 Health Checkup in Medellín
Evaluates essential metabolic, renal, thyroid, and blood markers before starting GLP-1 therapy or a weight-loss treatment based on GLP-1 agonists.
Measures/Identifies
Evaluates key markers of metabolism, kidney function, hormonal status, and essential blood parameters before starting GLP-1 therapy.
Who is it for?
Designed for individuals planning to start GLP-1 medication or weight-loss treatments who need a complete baseline evaluation of their health before beginning therapy.
Why this test?
This assessment evaluates your metabolic, renal, hormonal, and hematologic health before starting treatment with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Saxenda. These medications can affect blood sugar, appetite, digestion, and kidney function, so having a complete baseline before beginning treatment is essential to ensure safe and effective use. The panel helps identify any conditions that may influence treatment response, tolerance, or safety.
