Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you seek a Semaglutide prescription EU wide, our doctors follow strict guidelines. They look for specific criteria to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness. Generally, Semaglutide is considered 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will review your full medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions like severe kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, or personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Your health is their priority; they will only prescribe if they find treatment appropriate.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by mimicking a natural gut hormone. It helps regulate your appetite by making you feel fuller, reducing cravings, and slowing down gastric emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. It does not offer instant results; consistent use over several weeks or months is needed to see its full effects. Semaglutide is a tool to support weight management, not a standalone solution. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and increased physical activity. It doesn't magically melt fat; it helps your body manage hunger signals more effectively.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often lessen over time. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (swelling of face/throat, difficulty breathing). The doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment, which typically happens if you reach your weight loss goals, experience intolerable side effects, or if the medication is no longer deemed appropriate for your health.
