- If approved, you will receive a valid electronic prescription (as a downloadable PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or display it on your phone — the prescription goes through Ireland's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense your GLP-1 medication.
Who qualifies for GLP-1
GLP-1 medications are potent tools for weight management and blood sugar control, but they are not suitable for everyone. When you complete your online medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor will carefully evaluate your case based on established clinical guidelines. Generally, eligibility for GLP-1s like semaglutide involves factors such as a Body Mass Index (BMI) above a certain threshold (typically 27 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity, or 30 kg/m² without comorbidities), and a medical history free of specific contraindications. The doctor looks for indicators that the treatment is both safe and likely to be effective for your individual health profile.
What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to a feeling of fullness, reduced food intake, and slower stomach emptying. For individuals with type 2 diabetes, GLP-1s also help lower blood sugar levels. While these medications can be highly effective, they are not a magic bullet. They are most successful when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic expectations are key: consistent, gradual weight loss over several months is typical, rather than rapid, dramatic results.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, GLP-1s can have side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often subside over time. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any concerning symptoms. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction, you should seek immediate medical attention and discontinue the medication. Your Hi-Doctor will provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
