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

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Generally, these medications are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, and severe gastrointestinal disease. Your doctor will carefully review your full medical history to determine if a weight loss prescription is appropriate for you.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Prescription weight loss medications, such as GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller faster, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. These medications are a tool to support your weight loss journey, not a magic bullet. They are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. You can expect to see initial changes in appetite within weeks, with more noticeable weight loss typically occurring over several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, prescription weight loss drugs can have side effects. Common side effects for GLP-1 agonists include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It is crucial to report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. If you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medication and seek urgent medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor doctor will provide detailed guidance on side effects and when to discontinue use.
