Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness. Eligibility for medication depends on your specific health profile and the doctor's assessment. Generally, doctors look for specific diagnostic criteria and rule out contraindications during your online consultation. For certain GLP-1 medications, for example, a specific BMI often applies. The medical questionnaire helps the doctor understand your medical history, current health, and any existing conditions or other medications you are taking. This comprehensive review ensures the medication is safe and appropriate for you.

The medication works by [briefly explain mechanism of action in plain language, e.g., regulating blood sugar, suppressing appetite, etc.].

The medication is part of a broader treatment plan, and individual responses can vary. It is not a magic bullet; consistent adherence to the doctor's advice is crucial for the best possible outcomes. The doctor will discuss realistic timelines and what you can expect during your treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, this treatment can have side effects. Common side effects often include [list 2-3 common, mild side effects, e.g., nausea, diarrhea, constipation]. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects. You should stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience [list 1-2 serious red flags, e.g., severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction]. Your doctor will provide detailed information on potential side effects and what to do if they occur. Medical honesty builds trust, and we want you to be fully informed.
