Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. Your doctor will carefully evaluate your full medical history in the online consultation.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and slower stomach emptying. The result is often a significant reduction in calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. Clinical trials show that patients can lose an average of 15-20% of their initial body weight over 68-72 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes. It is not a quick fix; results are gradual and sustained weight loss requires consistent use and adherence to a healthy diet and regular exercise. It doesn't guarantee a specific weight loss amount, but it provides a powerful tool to support your weight management journey.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions for dosage titration. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately and may need to stop the medication.
