Suitability, Conditions, and What Your Prescriber Needs to Know
GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines — such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) — are prescription-only treatments. Who can take them, and whether they are appropriate alongside a given health condition, is assessed by a prescriber on an individual basis. There is no universal answer that applies to everyone.
Gallstones and gallbladder conditions
Gallbladder problems, including gallstones, are listed in the patient information for these medicines as conditions your prescriber should be aware of. Rapid weight loss of any kind can affect the gallbladder, and your prescriber will factor this into their assessment. If you experience sudden, severe abdominal pain during treatment, contact a healthcare professional promptly — do not wait for your next scheduled appointment.
Thyroid and hormonal conditions
Questions about taking weight loss injections with an underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism, or while using levothyroxine or HRT are common. These are all factors your prescriber will consider during an initial assessment. No content here can substitute for that conversation — your prescriber knows your full picture.
Other conditions people ask about
Many people wonder about suitability alongside conditions such as heart conditions, kidney disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and mental health conditions, or while taking medicines like antidepressants or methotrexate. Similarly, questions about age eligibility, taking injections abroad, short-term use of around a month, breastfeeding, and pregnancy are all clinically significant — the answers depend on individual circumstances and must come from a qualified prescriber. Pregnancy and breastfeeding in particular require especially careful clinical consideration; if your situation changes in either of these ways during treatment, contact your healthcare professional without delay.
Having no gallbladder
People who have had their gallbladder removed also ask whether weight loss injections are still an option. Again, this is something to raise directly with your prescriber, who can advise based on your history and current health.
If you are weighing up whether this type of treatment is right for your circumstances, the page on whether weight loss injections are right for you covers some of the broader considerations to discuss with your prescriber.

How GLP Trackr Helps Once You Are Prescribed
If your prescriber has determined that a weight loss injection is appropriate for you — taking into account any conditions you have — GLP Trackr is designed to support your journey from that point forward. The app is a companion for people already on treatment, not a tool for assessing suitability.
The most relevant feature for anyone managing a health condition alongside their treatment is side-effect tracking. You can log symptoms — such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, or anything else you notice — and build a timestamped record over time. That log can be genuinely useful to bring to your prescriber or doctor appointments, helping you describe patterns clearly rather than relying on memory. The app also includes a doctor report feature that summarises your tracked data in a format designed to support those conversations.
Alongside side-effect logging, GLP Trackr tracks your weekly injections — recording the date, dose strength, and injection site — and can suggest rotation to help you stay consistent. Dose reminders mean a weekly injection is less likely to be overlooked.
If you are taking a medicine such as sertraline alongside your treatment, the page on weight loss injections and sertraline covers what to discuss with your prescriber in that context.
Important: GLP Trackr is an informational and tracking tool — it is not a substitute for clinical advice. If you experience severe, persistent, or worrying symptoms at any point during your treatment, contact your healthcare professional promptly. Any questions about your dose, your suitability, or how your other conditions interact with your treatment should always go to your prescriber or doctor, never be answered by an app. Side effects can also be reported to your national pharmacovigilance scheme (such as the UK Yellow Card scheme) and to your healthcare professional.

GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.

Frequently asked questions.
Whether weight loss injections are suitable alongside gallstones is a clinical decision your prescriber must make based on your individual history. Gallbladder conditions are flagged in the patient information for these medicines, so always disclose them to your prescriber before starting treatment.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are clinically significant considerations that your prescriber must assess individually. If you become pregnant or begin breastfeeding during treatment, contact your healthcare professional without delay. This is not a decision to make without professional guidance.
Thyroid conditions and medicines such as levothyroxine are factors a prescriber considers when assessing suitability. No general answer applies to everyone — raise this directly with your prescriber or doctor, who can advise based on your full medical history.
This is a question for your prescriber, who can assess your individual circumstances. Having had your gallbladder removed does not automatically rule out or guarantee suitability — your full history needs to be considered by a qualified clinician.
GLP Trackr lets you log symptoms and side effects over time, building a record you can share with your prescriber. It also tracks your weekly injections, dose strength, and injection sites. It is a tracking companion, not a medical tool, and does not replace clinical advice.
