How it works — get your Semaglutide prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes).
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private.
3. If appropriate, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours.
4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy.

Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to ensure Semaglutide is safe and appropriate for your health needs. Generally, Semaglutide is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

The doctor will review your full medical history, including any existing conditions or medications, to check for contraindications. For example, Semaglutide is not suitable for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or those with a history of pancreatitis.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows down gastric emptying. The result is a reduction in calorie intake, which leads to weight loss.

Clinical studies show that patients on Semaglutide can lose an average of 15-17% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks. This is a significant and realistic expectation. However, Semaglutide is not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It does not guarantee specific results for every individual, as outcomes vary based on adherence to treatment, diet, exercise, and individual metabolic factors.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild and often decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. Your doctor will typically start you on a low dose and gradually increase it to help manage these effects. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems.

It's crucial to report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. They will advise you on whether to adjust the dosage or stop the medication. Always follow your doctor's guidance.
