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

  1. Fill out our 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, with no risk to you.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable 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 (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors follow clinical guidelines to determine if GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide (Wegovy) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are appropriate for you. Generally, the doctor looks 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 (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea).
  • No history of certain medical conditions, including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
  • Not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

During your online consultation, you'll provide your full medical history, and the doctor will assess all factors to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness.

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

Medications like Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are GLP-1 receptor agonists (and GIP for Tirzepatide). They work by mimicking natural hormones in your body, which helps to:

  • Reduce appetite: You feel fuller for longer and experience fewer cravings.
  • Slow gastric emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to increased satiety.
  • Improve blood sugar control: Beneficial for those with or at risk of type 2 diabetes.

These medications are powerful tools for weight management, but they are not magic pills. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Weight loss is gradual and varies between individuals, typically showing significant results over several months of consistent use. They do not replace healthy habits; they support them.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal and tend to be mild to moderate, often improving over time as your body adjusts. These include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhoea or constipation
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain

It's crucial to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your doctor. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a serious allergic reaction, pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or severe abdominal pain. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on when to adjust dosage or consider discontinuing the medication based on your individual response and tolerability.
