Microbiome Diversity and Metabolic Health: New Insights

And if our doctor determines {medication_name} isn't right for you, your €25 is fully refunded – no risk, no questions asked.

How it works: get your {medication_name} prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is NOT appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.

  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for {medication_name}

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient to ensure {medication_name} is safe and appropriate. Typically, the doctor looks for:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI): For GLP-1 medications like {medication_name}, a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea).
  • Medical History: Absence of contraindications such as personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal disease, or severe kidney issues.
  • Current Medications: Review of all current prescriptions to avoid adverse interactions.
  • Commitment to Lifestyle Changes: {medication_name} is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

The doctor will assess all these factors during your online consultation to determine if {medication_name} is right for you. Remember, if the doctor finds the treatment not appropriate, your €25 consultation fee is fully refunded.

What {medication_name} actually does (and doesn't do)

{medication_name} is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake. It also slows down stomach emptying, further contributing to satiety. While many patients experience substantial weight loss, {medication_name} is not a magic bullet. It supports your weight management journey by making it easier to stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Results vary, and consistent effort with diet and exercise remains crucial. It does not replace the need for healthy habits, but it makes achieving them more manageable.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, {medication_name} can cause side effects. Most commonly, these are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It's important to discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor immediately. You should stop using {medication_name} and seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), or severe persistent vomiting or diarrhea leading to dehydration. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide detailed information on side effects and monitoring.
