Who qualifies

Our EU-licensed doctors prescribe approved weight-loss medications based on individual patient needs and strict medical guidelines. You may qualify if you:

  • Are an adult patient residing in the EU.
  • Meet the clinical criteria for obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.
  • Have a medical history that aligns with the safety profile of the approved medications.

The doctor reviews your full medical history provided in the online questionnaire to make a clinical decision. They remain the gatekeepers of appropriate treatment.

What the medication actually does

Ketoconazole's primary established use is as an antifungal medication. Research into its weight-loss applications is still largely in clinical trial stages, investigating its effects on hormone regulation and fat metabolism. It is not a GLP-1, GIP, or glucagon triple agonist like some of the newer, approved weight-loss drugs. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has NOT approved Ketoconazole for weight-loss indications. This means it is not legally available by prescription for weight management in Palermo, Italy, or any other EU country.

Instead, Hi-Doctor doctors can assess you for other approved weight-loss medications. These may include treatments from classes such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake.

Side effects and when to stop

Since Ketoconazole is not an approved weight-loss medication, its side effects for this indication are not fully established. Its known side effects as an antifungal include liver problems, hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal issues. Attempting to purchase it from unregulated online sources carries significant safety risks, including receiving counterfeit products, incorrect dosages, or substances with harmful contaminants, all without any medical oversight.

For approved weight-loss medications, the prescribing doctor provides comprehensive information on potential side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when first starting treatment. You must always follow the doctor's instructions and report any severe or persistent side effects immediately. The doctor will advise you on when to stop or adjust your medication based on your progress and health.
