Weight Loss Medication Eligibility Criteria: Miracle Leaf® Health Centers

Published FDA labeling generally describes chronic weight management for adults with a BMI of 30 and above, or 27 and above alongside a weight-related condition. Metformin is not approved for weight loss at all. A licensed provider decides what applies to you.

Miracle Leaf® does not evaluate patients or prescribe. We refer interested patients to Heally, whose licensed providers do both. The table below reports what published labeling says, with a source link on every row, so you can read the criteria yourself rather than take our word for it.

What this tool is not

It is not a diagnosis and it is not a recommendation. It compares numbers you enter against published labeling and reports the result, including when the criteria do not describe you. A licensed provider makes the actual determination, and there are reasons a provider may reach a different conclusion in either direction.

For how a specific medication works, what it costs, and whether it is available to you, ask the Heally provider who conducts your evaluation. Pricing depends on the product prescribed and on the pharmacy that fills it, so a figure quoted here would not reliably describe what you are offered.
