Who qualifies for Semaglutide
Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, Semaglutide (like Wegovy) is prescribed 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 condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Rybelsus is primarily for type 2 diabetes management, though it can aid weight loss. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and severe allergic reactions to Semaglutide.
What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone, GLP-1, that regulates appetite and blood sugar. This means it helps you feel full faster, reduces cravings, and stabilises blood sugar levels. For many, this leads to significant weight loss and improved health markers. However, Semaglutide is not a magic pill. It works best as part of a comprehensive plan that includes diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for noticeable weight loss typically involve several weeks to months, with gradual increases in dosage under medical supervision. It doesn't guarantee instant results, but consistently helps manage appetite and caloric intake.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are usually mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. If symptoms like severe abdominal pain, yellowing of skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction occur, stop the medication and seek urgent medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on when to stop or adjust your treatment.
