Screening
Information is provided for general education only. Final treatment suitability must be confirmed by a licensed healthcare professional.
Why screening matters before Wegovy®
GLP-1 treatment should be matched to the patient, not the other way around. MyCare checks eligibility, safety risks, lab markers, metabolic history, current medications, and treatment goals before recommending any prescription option.
01
Eligibility review
We assess BMI, weight-related conditions, previous treatments, medical history, pregnancy plans, and current medications.
02
Metabolic and safety screening
Screening may include glucose markers, liver and kidney function, lipid profile, thyroid history review, and other tests depending on the patient.
03
Doctor-guided prescription
If clinically appropriate, the doctor may prescribe Wegovy® or another treatment option and explain dose escalation, side effects, and red flags.
04
Follow-up and progress tracking
We monitor weight, appetite, side effects, nutrition, muscle preservation, adherence, and long-term maintenance.
