Understanding Liver Function Tests While on Weight Loss Medication

Are you looking to get a Semaglutide prescription online in the EU and wondering about liver function tests? You can get a prescription for Semaglutide through an EU-licensed doctor, quickly and without a clinic visit. We offer online consultations for just €25. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, your electronic prescription is issued in under 24 hours. It's valid at ANY EU pharmacy, so you can pick up your medication conveniently.

How it works — get your Semaglutide prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes).
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case privately and thoroughly.
  3. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours, delivered to your private account and by email.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy across the EU (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany).

Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate. Typically, a doctor looks for:

  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
  • 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.
  • No history of certain medical conditions that contraindicate Semaglutide use, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
  • No severe liver or kidney impairment.
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor reviews your full medical history and current health status through the online questionnaire to ensure Semaglutide is safe and effective for you.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. It slows down digestion, making you feel fuller for longer, and helps reduce cravings. This leads to a sustained reduction in calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss.

You can expect gradual, consistent weight loss over several months, not overnight results. Clinical studies show an average weight loss of 15-17% of initial body weight over 68 weeks. Semaglutide is a tool to support your weight loss journey, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular physical activity. It does not replace the need for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary, especially as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These usually improve over time.

More serious, though rare, side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, or severe allergic reactions. It's important to be aware of the symptoms of liver problems, such as jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes), dark urine, pale stools, or severe abdominal pain. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or any signs of liver issues, contact your doctor immediately. They will advise you on whether to stop the medication and how to proceed.
