4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for medication like Semaglutide, Finasteride, or Sildenafil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate your medical history and current health status. They look for specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. For example, for weight loss medications like Semaglutide, doctors consider your BMI, existing health conditions, and any contraindications. For hair loss or erectile dysfunction treatments, they assess your overall health, other medications you take, and the specific nature of your condition. The doctor's primary goal is to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

What medications like Semaglutide, Finasteride, or Sildenafil actually do (and don't do)

Semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar, slows stomach emptying, and reduces appetite. This leads to weight loss over time, typically alongside diet and exercise. It is not a magic pill; consistent use and lifestyle changes are key.

Finasteride helps treat male pattern baldness by blocking the production of DHT, a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. It can reduce hair loss and promote new hair growth, but results take several months and vary by individual. It does not cure baldness and must be taken continuously.

Sildenafil (e.g., Viagra) and Tadalafil (e.g., Cialis) treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. They do not cause an erection automatically; sexual arousal is still required. They do not cure ED, but manage its symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop

All medications have potential side effects. For Semaglutide, common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These often improve over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. You should stop and seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

For Finasteride, some men may experience sexual side effects like decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, which are often reversible upon stopping the medication. Rarely, mood changes or depression can occur. Report any persistent or concerning side effects to your doctor.

For Sildenafil and Tadalafil, common side effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, and nasal congestion. Rarely, more serious side effects like sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication. If you experience any concerning or severe side effects, stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately.
