3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
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 prescription weight loss medication

EU-licensed doctors at Hi-Doctor review each case individually to ensure your safety and suitability for prescription weight loss medication. Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria, often including a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). The doctor assesses your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you take to identify potential contraindications or interactions. This thorough review ensures the treatment is appropriate and safe for you.

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

Prescription weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. They help regulate your appetite, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. They can also slow down the emptying of your stomach, further contributing to a reduced calorie intake. This mechanism helps you achieve significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.

These medications are powerful tools, but they are not magic pills. They support your weight loss journey by addressing biological factors that make losing weight difficult. They do not replace the need for healthy eating and regular physical activity, but rather enhance the effectiveness of these lifestyle changes. Realistic timelines involve gradual, sustainable weight loss over several months, not rapid, drastic changes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, prescription weight loss drugs can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, or vomiting, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time as your body adjusts. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on how to manage these.

More serious side effects are rare but possible. It's crucial to be aware of any unusual or severe symptoms and discuss them with your doctor immediately. Your doctor will advise you on red flags and when it might be necessary to stop the medication, or adjust your treatment plan to ensure your safety and well-being.
