Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case and, if appropriate, issue a digital prescription. The process is fast, convenient, and entirely online. Get your prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU, for just €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off. If the doctor determines the medication is not suitable for you, your payment is refunded — no risk.

How it works: get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your payment is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
  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 the medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

EU-licensed doctors at Hi-Doctor follow strict medical guidelines to ensure patient safety and treatment effectiveness. When reviewing your case for a weight loss medication prescription, the doctor looks for:

  • 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., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol).
  • Medical History: A thorough review of your health conditions, existing medications, and any allergies.
  • Previous Weight Loss Efforts: Evidence of prior attempts to lose weight through diet and exercise.

Contraindications that might prevent a prescription include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe gastrointestinal disease.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Medications like semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and liraglutide (Saxenda) are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. This leads to:

  • Reduced Appetite: You feel fuller for longer and experience fewer cravings.
  • Slower Gastric Emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to a sustained feeling of fullness.
  • Improved Blood Sugar Control: Essential for overall metabolic health, especially for those with co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes.

These medications are not magic pills. They are most effective when combined with sustainable lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for noticeable weight loss typically range from several weeks to months, with significant results often seen over 6-12 months. They are tools to support your journey, not replacements for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1 agonists can have side effects. Most are mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the treatment. Common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain

These usually subside over time. However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects such as pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or severe allergic reactions. You should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing). Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor provides clear guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further help.
