Who qualifies for Wegovy

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor.ai, they look for specific criteria to determine if Wegovy (semaglutide) is appropriate for you. Generally, Wegovy 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor also assesses your full medical history for any contraindications, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy, containing the active ingredient semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and can lead to eating less and losing weight. It's an effective tool for chronic weight management, but it's not a standalone solution. For optimal results, Wegovy is prescribed as part of a comprehensive plan that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss often extend over several months, with individual results varying.

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, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. It's crucial to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your doctor via the private chat in your Hi-Doctor.ai account. Rare but serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will provide clear guidance on red flags and when to seek immediate medical attention or discontinue the medication.
