How it works — get your GLP-1 prescription in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. Provide all necessary medical information for the doctor to review.
- A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the GLP-1 treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 consultation fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing if the doctor says no. This offers a no-risk assessment.
- If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a secure, downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (including Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your GLP-1 medication.
Who qualifies for GLP-1
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if GLP-1 medication is appropriate. Generally, doctors look for specific criteria, including a Body Mass Index (BMI) typically above 30, or a BMI above 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis, will also be carefully considered. The doctor will review your complete medical history provided in the questionnaire to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.
What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide work by mimicking a natural gut hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1. This helps regulate blood sugar levels, slows gastric emptying, and increases feelings of fullness, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It is important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support weight management and not a standalone solution. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Weight loss timelines vary, and consistent use as prescribed is key. GLP-1 is not a 'magic bullet' and requires commitment to achieve and maintain results.
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 dosage. These often improve over time. More serious but less common side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. Your doctor will discuss potential risks and monitor your progress. You should immediately contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. The decision to stop treatment will always be made in consultation with your doctor, who will guide you based on your health and response to the medication.
