How it works — get your GLP-1 prescription in 4 steps

4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your GLP-1 medication.

Who qualifies for GLP-1

GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide, are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia). The doctor will look for these criteria and assess your overall health during the review process. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and severe allergic reactions to the medication's ingredients. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are also not candidates. Your doctor will carefully review your medical history to ensure GLP-1 is safe and appropriate for you.

What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)

GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and signal your brain to reduce hunger. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It is most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, with results varying among individuals. GLP-1 medications do not replace the need for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney issues, and allergic reactions. It's crucial to seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing). Your prescribing doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and when to discontinue treatment, and you should always follow their guidance.
