How to Get a Wegovy Prescription: A Step-by-Step Guide

If treatment is appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours for just €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off. This prescription is accepted at any pharmacy across the EU – from Spain to Germany, Portugal to France. No waiting rooms, no in-person visits, just straightforward care.

How it works: get your Wegovy prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes). Provide your medical history and current health status through our secure, private app.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors individually assess your information to determine if Wegovy is safe and appropriate for you.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. The prescription is delivered directly to your private Hi-Doctor account and by email.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Your electronic prescription is valid across the entire European Union.

Who qualifies for Wegovy

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Wegovy is an appropriate treatment. Generally, Wegovy (semaglutide) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a known hypersensitivity to semaglutide.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and leads to decreased calorie intake. It's a powerful tool for weight management, but it's not a magic bullet. For optimal results, Wegovy should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Patients typically see gradual weight loss over several months, with more significant results appearing after 4–6 months of consistent use. It helps you manage your weight, but ongoing lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are often mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. To minimise discomfort, our doctors will guide you on appropriate dosing. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and kidney issues. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact a doctor immediately. Always follow your prescribing doctor's advice and stop treatment if advised.
