If you're experiencing reduced appetite, ensuring your body still receives vital nutrients is crucial. For some, this challenge is linked to weight management, and solutions like semaglutide can help. You can get the semaglutide prescription online through an EU-licensed doctor. Hi-Doctor makes it simple, fast, and affordable: a 35 € online consultation, a prescription issued in under 24 hours if appropriate, and it's valid at any pharmacy in the EU. Plus, there's no risk—if the doctor determines treatment is not suitable, you get your money back.

How it works: get your semaglutide prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out a brief online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case privately. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your 35 € fee is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your semaglutide medication.

Who qualifies for semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication, often prescribed to adults for chronic weight management or type 2 diabetes. When a doctor reviews your case, they assess several factors to determine if semaglutide is appropriate. Typically, this includes:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI): Generally, a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol).
  • Medical History: The doctor will review your full medical history for contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe gastrointestinal disease.
  • Current Medications: They will check for potential interactions with other drugs you are taking.
  • Overall Health Status: Ensuring your general health supports the use of semaglutide.

The EU-licensed doctors at Hi-Doctor review every case individually to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone targets areas in the brain involved in appetite regulation, which helps you feel fuller sooner and for longer. It also slows down gastric emptying, further contributing to a reduced calorie intake. Over time, this can lead to significant and sustained weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.

What it does:

  • Reduces appetite and food cravings.
  • Helps you feel full with smaller meal portions.
  • Contributes to clinically significant weight loss.
  • Improves blood sugar control for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

What it doesn't do:

  • It is not a magic pill. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
  • It does not offer instant results; weight loss is gradual and typically observed over several weeks and months.
  • It is not a cure for obesity or type 2 diabetes, but a management tool.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, semaglutide can cause side effects. Most are mild to moderate and tend to improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain

It's important to contact a healthcare professional if you experience severe or persistent side effects. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of serious conditions such as pancreatitis (severe stomach pain, vomiting), gallbladder problems (pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, jaundice), or severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing).

The doctor will advise you on when to stop or adjust the dosage based on your response and any adverse effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
