De Gezichtskliniek Blog: Everything You Need to Know About Ozempic and Medical Weight Loss Treatments
Curious about Ozempic in Nederland and whether you can get it through your huisarts? Read our full guide “Ozempic in Nederland: Kan ik Ozempic via mijn huisarts krijgen?”, written by De Gezichtskliniek.
Medical weight-loss injections like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy are becoming a popular option—but access depends on your health situation.
What you need to know:
-
Type 2 Diabetes: Ozempic is usually reimbursed by Dutch health insurance.
-
Weight loss without diabetes: Off-label prescriptions are possible if your BMI is over 30, though insurance rarely covers it.
-
Mounjaro (tirzepatide): Not yet widely available in the Netherlands, but may become an option soon.
If your huisarts cannot prescribe, private clinics offer supervised medical weight-loss programs. These include a full health check—BMI, cardiovascular health, kidney function, and potential contraindications. Treatments are for adults only and are not advised during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with a history of eating disorders.
Governments and insurers are exploring ways to make these treatments more accessible as they can improve health outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs. Although expensive now, wider availability is expected as costs decrease and medications improve.
If you meet the criteria, you can book a video or in-person consultation to start your Medical Weight Loss journey.
