Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually. They look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, Semaglutide is considered for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (like pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol). Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis. The doctor ensures your safety and suitability for the medication.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar. It increases insulin release when your blood sugar is high, reduces sugar production by your liver, and slows down how fast food leaves your stomach. This helps you feel fuller for longer, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. While Semaglutide can significantly aid in blood sugar control and weight management, it is not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for results vary, but most patients begin to see effects within a few weeks, with full benefits often taking several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are mild and temporary, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, such as pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on when to stop or adjust your dosage based on your response and any side effects you may experience. Your safety is our priority.
