Medical Support

Your treatment pathway at Praxis Jona.

We deliberately separate medical suitability, therapy decision, follow-up and digital support. This keeps treatment transparent and safe.

01

Clarify suitability

We review weight, existing conditions, previous weight-loss attempts, lab values and possible contraindications.

  • detailed medical history
  • physical examination
  • ultrasound when needed
02

Select therapy

If medication-assisted weight loss is medically suitable, we discuss medication, use, side effects and goals.

  • Wegovy® or Mounjaro® depending on situation
  • information and goal definition
  • prescription when indicated
03

Support progress

Follow-up consultations focus on weight progress, tolerability, side effects and useful dose adjustments.

  • 20-minute follow-ups
  • short therapy checks
  • adjustments when symptoms occur
04

Stabilize nutrition

If desired, we add nutritional medicine so protein needs, calorie needs and everyday life fit together.

  • nutrition diary
  • personal plan
  • realistic next goals

Velto DIGITAL

Digital support when comprehensive on-site care is not needed.

The key benefit: after physician review, your prescription is sent discreetly and conveniently to your home. When needed, it can be issued as an EU/EEA cross-border prescription if the medical and formal requirements are met. Velto Premium combines this prescription service with a modern GLP-1 app for digital therapy support.

Who It May Suit

Who we assess for GLP-1 therapy.

GLP-1 therapy is not a lifestyle product. Whether it is suitable for you is decided individually in a physician consultation.

Generally worth assessing if ...

  • BMI at least 30, or BMI at least 27 with weight-related accompanying conditions
  • previous weight-loss attempts were not sufficiently successful
  • there are no medical reasons against GLP-1 therapy
  • you are willing to include nutrition, movement and check-ups

We assess especially carefully ...

  • pregnancy, breastfeeding or planned pregnancy
  • relevant existing conditions or medication combinations
  • side effects, tolerability and progress during therapy
