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

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

Who qualifies for GLP-1

The doctor looks at several factors to determine if GLP-1 is appropriate for you. Generally, GLP-1 medications are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. You must be over 18 years old. The medical questionnaire helps the doctor assess your overall health, medical history, and any potential contraindications to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

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 blood sugar. They slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and can reduce cravings. This helps you eat less and lose weight. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for results vary, and sustainable weight loss takes time and consistency.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1 can cause side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. You must inform your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. The doctor will provide clear guidance on monitoring side effects and when it might be necessary to stop the medication.
