- Print the PDF or display it on your phone. Present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.
Who qualifies for the medication
Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each case to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for specific eligibility criteria, including your current health status, medical history, and any potential contraindications. For certain medications, such as GLP-1 agonists for weight management, a specific Body Mass Index (BMI) might be a key factor. The doctor will assess all information provided in your medical questionnaire to make an informed decision about your suitability for treatment.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Understanding how your medication works is crucial for successful treatment. The specific mechanism of action varies depending on the medication prescribed, but our doctors will ensure you receive clear, plain-language information. We focus on realistic expectations: what the medication can achieve, typical timelines for seeing effects, and its limitations. This transparency helps you stay informed and committed to your treatment plan.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, the medication may have side effects. Our doctors will inform you about common side effects you might experience and explain how to manage them. It's important to be aware of any red flags that might indicate a more serious reaction, and when you should stop taking the medication and seek further medical advice. Your safety is our priority, and medical honesty builds trust.
