GLP-1 Pre-Treatment Blood Test Panel
A GLP-1 blood test can provide useful baseline laboratory information before starting weight-loss injection treatment. Al Safa Lab’s GLP-1 Blood Test Panel combines 12 tests covering pancreatic, liver, kidney-related, metabolic, thyroid, vitamin, and general blood-health markers in one focused pre-treatment screening panel.
It can be used when laboratory testing has been requested before starting weight-loss injections such as Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Ozempic, depending on your clinician’s assessment and treatment plan.

Is This Panel a Complete GLP-1 Suitability Assessment?
No. The GLP-1 blood test panel provides laboratory results only.
Deciding whether a weight-loss injection is appropriate for an individual may also require a review of medical history, current medications, symptoms, contraindications, physical measurements, and other clinical factors.
The results from this panel can support that wider medical assessment but do not replace it.
