Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you seek a Semaglutide prescription online, our EU-licensed doctors assess your full medical history. Generally, Semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) is prescribed for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. The doctor looks for these factors to ensure your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural gut hormone, GLP-1. This hormone tells your brain you're full, slows down how fast your stomach empties, and helps regulate blood sugar. This leads to reduced appetite and fewer cravings, helping you eat less and lose weight.

While Semaglutide is highly effective for weight loss, it's crucial to understand that it supports your efforts; it's not a magic bullet. Significant weight loss typically occurs over several months. It doesn't directly build muscle. In fact, if you don't combine it with adequate protein intake and strength training, you might lose some muscle mass along with fat. Your doctor will discuss realistic timelines and expectations with you.

Side effects and when to stop

Most common side effects of Semaglutide are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are usually mild and tend to improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and kidney problems. Always discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your doctor.

You should stop Semaglutide immediately and seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), or severe kidney problems. Your Hi Doctor consulting doctor will provide clear guidance on managing side effects and when to seek urgent care. You can always communicate with your doctor through the private, RGPD-compliant chat in your account.
