4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Your prescription is valid across the EU, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Germany.

Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor, they look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, Semaglutide (often known by brand names like Wegovy or Ozempic) is considered for:

• Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
• Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
• Patients with type 2 diabetes for blood sugar management, potentially in combination with Metformin.

The doctor will review your full medical history, including any existing conditions, allergies, and other medications you are taking, to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness. Certain conditions, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), are contraindications.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide 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 digestion. It also helps control blood sugar levels, which is why it's also used for type 2 diabetes.

What it does do:

• Reduces appetite and calorie intake.
• Promotes significant weight loss over time.
• Improves blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.

What it doesn't do:

• It is not a magic bullet; it works best alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle changes.
• Results are not instant; significant weight loss typically takes several months.
• It does not work for everyone, and individual results vary.

If the doctor finds it appropriate for you, they will explain the expected timeline and realistic outcomes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Most are mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects include:

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.
• Abdominal pain.
• Headache.

In combination with Metformin, these gastrointestinal side effects might be more pronounced. It's crucial to discuss any side effects with your doctor. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe abdominal pain that does not go away (could be a sign of pancreatitis).
• Signs of a severe allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing).
• Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if you are also taking other diabetes medications.

Your EU-licensed doctor will provide clear guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further medical advice.
