Alcohol and Semaglutide: What You Need to Know

Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate. Generally, Semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) is prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity) or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Doctors look for your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to ensure Semaglutide is safe and effective for you. Certain contraindications may prevent a prescription, which your doctor will discuss during the review.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body. This leads to feeling fuller for longer, which can support weight management. It also helps improve blood sugar control. While many patients experience significant benefits, Semaglutide is not a miracle drug; it works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Results vary, and it takes time to see the full effects, typically several weeks to months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your doctor. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the medication.
