The Evolving Doctor-Patient Relationship in Digital Healthcare

Looking for a prescription for Wegovy, Mounjaro, or other GLP-1 medications online in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case and, if appropriate, issue a valid prescription. Our €25 online consultation fee is fully refundable if the doctor determines the treatment is not suitable for you. Get your prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU.

How it works: get your GLP-1 medication prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our quick online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor individually reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 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 to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine suitability for GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide). Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (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. Key contraindications that would prevent a prescription include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. The doctor will review your full medical history during the consultation.

What GLP-1 medications actually do (and don't do)

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. They help regulate blood sugar, slow down stomach emptying, and increase feelings of fullness, leading to reduced appetite and calorie intake. This mechanism supports significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. Patients typically see initial weight loss within a few weeks, with more substantial results developing over several months. These medications are a tool to aid weight management, not a magic bullet. Consistent lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside over time. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's important to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your doctor immediately. If you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek urgent medical attention and discontinue the medication.
