Are you searching for a semaglutide or tirzepatide prescription online in Spain, France, or elsewhere in the EU? You've landed on the right page. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your suitability for weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.

How it works — get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out our online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for semaglutide or tirzepatide

Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict guidelines to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness. They look for specific criteria, including your Body Mass Index (BMI), medical history, and current health status. Generally, weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are considered for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure.

Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, or severe gastrointestinal disease. The doctor will carefully evaluate all information from your medical questionnaire to determine if the treatment is appropriate for you.

What semaglutide and tirzepatide actually do (and don't do)

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They mimic a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. They work by:

• Slowing gastric emptying: This makes you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall food intake.
• Reducing appetite: They act on the brain's appetite centers, helping to decrease cravings and hunger.
• Improving blood sugar control: They stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduce glucagon secretion, which helps manage blood glucose levels, particularly beneficial for those with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.

These medications are powerful tools, but they are not magic pills. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic timelines show that significant weight loss (around 5-15% of body weight) can be achieved over several months, with continued use often necessary for maintenance.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide can cause side effects. Common side effects often involve the gastrointestinal system and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are usually mild and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

Less common but more serious side effects can occur, which is why a thorough medical evaluation by an EU-licensed doctor is crucial. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and when to seek medical attention. You should stop the medication if advised by your doctor or if you experience severe adverse reactions.
