Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you seek a Semaglutide prescription online, the EU-licensed doctor assesses your individual health profile. They look for specific criteria, primarily for weight management in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to < 30 kg/m² (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity such as dysglycaemia (pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus), hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obstructive sleep apnoea, or cardiovascular disease. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and a history of pancreatitis. The doctor determines if Semaglutide is appropriate and safe for you.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication, works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, helping you eat less and lose weight. It also slows gastric emptying, which can help manage blood sugar levels and further promote satiety. While many patients experience significant weight loss, it's not a magic bullet. It supports your efforts alongside lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise. Results are gradual, typically becoming noticeable over several weeks to months, with maximum effect often seen after 4–6 months of consistent use. It doesn't guarantee a specific amount of weight loss, but it provides a powerful tool to help you achieve your health goals.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are mild and temporary, primarily affecting the digestive system, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to discuss any concerning or persistent side effects with your doctor via the private chat in your Hi-Doctor account. If a side effect is severe or doesn't improve, the doctor will advise you on whether to stop the medication.
