4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy.

Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Semaglutide is a suitable treatment. Generally, doctors look 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) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will be carefully considered. It's essential to provide accurate medical history so the doctor can make an informed decision about your eligibility for Semaglutide.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone that helps regulate your appetite and blood sugar. This means it can help you feel fuller, reduce cravings, and manage your blood sugar levels. For many, this leads to significant weight loss. However, Semaglutide is not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Results are typically gradual, with noticeable changes often appearing over several weeks or months, not overnight. It's a tool to support your health journey, not a standalone solution.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can occur. You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis (e.g., persistent severe pain in your abdomen that may reach to your back, with or without vomiting), or any symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching, very rapid heartbeat). The doctor will advise you on when to stop or adjust your dosage.
