Wondering if you can get Rybelsus online in France? While Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) is a highly effective medication for Type 2 Diabetes, it is not currently approved for weight loss in the EU, and Hi-Doctor does not offer it for this indication. However, you can get a prescription for other EU-approved GLP-1 medications from an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor. Your online consultation costs only €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, and if approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours, accepted at any pharmacy across the EU.

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

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your payment is refunded automatically — no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each case to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate. Generally, they look for patients 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics a natural hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. It helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows gastric emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake and significant weight loss. It is not a magic pill; it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for noticeable weight loss typically involve several weeks to months, with maximum effects often seen after 6-12 months of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside over time. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately. You should stop treatment if advised by your doctor, or if you become pregnant.
