If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is accepted at any pharmacy across the EU, and the consultation costs just €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off.

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

  1. Fill out a brief 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 individually reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate for you, 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 your medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

An EU-licensed doctor reviews your medical history to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate. Generally, they look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol). The doctor will also check for contraindications, such as a history of certain thyroid cancers, severe kidney disease, or pregnancy.

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

Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (active ingredient in Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (active ingredient in Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down digestion. This makes it easier to eat less and lose weight.

These medications are powerful tools, but they are not a 'magic bullet'. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. While many patients experience significant weight loss, individual results vary. The goal is sustainable weight management, not an overnight fix.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss drugs can have side effects. Common ones for GLP-1 agonists include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually improve over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects with you during the consultation.

You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. The doctor will advise you on when to stop or adjust your medication based on your progress and any side effects.
