Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a powerful GLP-1 medication. Doctors typically prescribe it for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. The doctor looks for a clear medical need and assesses your overall health to ensure Semaglutide is safe and effective for you. Certain contraindications, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), severe kidney disease, or pancreatitis, will prevent a prescription.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone targets areas in your brain that regulate appetite, making you feel fuller, reducing cravings, and slowing down stomach emptying. This leads to a reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It also helps improve blood sugar control. Semaglutide is not a magic bullet; it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and increased physical activity. Significant weight loss typically occurs over several months, not weeks, and consistent use is key for optimal results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These usually decrease over time as your body adjusts. To manage them, eat smaller meals, avoid fatty foods, and stay hydrated. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and thyroid tumors. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medication immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide detailed guidance on side effects and when to contact them.
