Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a powerful GLP-1 medication. To qualify for a prescription, the EU-licensed doctor will assess several factors based on your medical history and current health. Generally, you may be considered if you have 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. The doctor will look for contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or severe gastrointestinal disease. Your online medical questionnaire provides the doctor with the necessary information for a thorough and confidential review.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. It helps you feel full faster and for longer, reduces cravings, and slows gastric emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant and sustainable weight loss. It is not a magic pill; it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects typically involve several weeks to months, with maximum benefits often seen over 68 weeks. Semaglutide does not guarantee specific weight loss numbers, but clinical trials show significant averages.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, semaglutide can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin/eyes. The doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment, which typically occurs if you reach your weight loss goal, experience intolerable side effects, or if the medication is no longer effective.
