Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict guidelines to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

During your online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history for any contraindications. These may include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe gastrointestinal disease. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain kidney or liver conditions also typically prevent prescription. Your safety is our priority, and the doctor will only issue a prescription if it's medically sound for your specific health profile.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means it mimics a natural hormone in your body called Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone acts on your gut and brain to regulate appetite and blood sugar. When you take Semaglutide, it tells your brain you're full, reducing cravings and making you feel satisfied with smaller portions. It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, extending that feeling of fullness, and helps your pancreas release insulin more effectively.

What it doesn't do: It's not a magic pill. While effective, Semaglutide works best when combined with lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You won't see 'guaranteed results' or lose '10 kg in a month' without effort. Realistic timelines show significant weight loss typically occurs over several months, with many patients achieving 10-15% body weight reduction after 68 weeks. Consistency and adherence to the treatment plan are key.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal and usually mild to moderate, especially as your body adjusts to the medication. These include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. You might also experience mild injection site reactions.

It's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects such as pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or gallbladder problems. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin/eyes, seek immediate medical attention. Always discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor through your private, RGPD-compliant chat in the Hi-Doctor app. They will advise you on whether to continue or stop the medication.
