GLP-1 & weight management calculators

Method: BMI = kg ÷ height in metres squared; or lb ÷ height in inches squared × 703. The US formula uses CDC’s rounded conversion factor, so small differences between unit systems are possible. Categories use the unrounded result. [1] [2]

Adult categories are not appropriate for children or teens. During pregnancy, use clinician guidance based on pre-pregnancy BMI rather than interpreting current gestational weight here. BMI alone cannot establish medication eligibility. [3] [4]

Method: total = (medication + care/membership + shipping + other monthly costs) × months + one-time costs. Average monthly cost = total ÷ months. Dollar entries are rounded to cents before adding.

Enter costs after any confirmed insurance contribution; this tool cannot estimate coverage, deductibles, eligibility or reimbursement. It assumes the same recurring cost each month and does not infer discounts, dose changes, taxes or cancellation terms. For a four-week supply, confirm how that billing cycle differs from a calendar month before entering a monthly amount.

Verify current program details on Luma’s pricing page or use the affordability comparison guide. Using this planner does not create a quote, charge, prescription or enrollment.

Method: amount changed = starting weight × percentage ÷ 100. Scenario weight = starting weight − amount changed. The same formula works in pounds or kilograms.

For adults with overweight or obesity, even modest weight loss can have health benefits, but personal goals need context. A trial average is not an individual forecast, and results from approved branded products cannot establish outcomes for a compounded preparation. [5] [8]

These labels carry a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors observed in rodents; relevance in humans is unknown. Both medicines are contraindicated with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2, or a serious allergy to the product. Weight-loss treatment is not appropriate during pregnancy; discuss pregnancy plans before treatment. This is not a complete safety list. [6] [7]

Seek urgent care for severe persistent abdominal pain, serious dehydration or concerning symptoms. Call emergency services for breathing difficulty, facial/throat swelling, or another suspected severe allergic reaction.
