Are you looking to get a Wegovy prescription online in Spain or across the EU? Yes, you can. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your eligibility for Wegovy. Our online consultation costs €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your Wegovy prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our secure online medical questionnaire. It takes just 2–3 minutes.
  2. An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your case and medical history.
  3. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, your electronic prescription is issued within 24 hours to your private account and email.
  4. Pick up your Wegovy medication at any pharmacy across the EU (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany).

Who qualifies for Wegovy

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a powerful tool for weight management, but it's not for everyone. Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient's case to ensure it's safe and appropriate. Generally, doctors look for:

  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
  • A BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
  • No history of certain medical conditions, including medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
  • No pregnancy or breastfeeding.

The doctor considers your full medical history, current medications, and overall health before issuing a prescription.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows down stomach emptying. The result? You naturally consume fewer calories, leading to weight loss.

Clinical trials show that patients typically lose an average of 15-17% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks when using Wegovy alongside lifestyle changes. It's important to understand that Wegovy is a medical aid, not a magic solution. Sustainable weight loss requires a commitment to a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. Most commonly, these are mild and digestive in nature as your body adjusts. They can include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, or abdominal pain. These usually improve over time. However, if side effects become severe or persistent, or if you experience any serious symptoms like severe abdominal pain, you must contact a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician provides guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further medical attention.
