Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor, they look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Typically, Semaglutide (like Ozempic or Wegovy) is prescribed for adults with a 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.

Contraindications are also carefully considered. You may not qualify if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or a history of pancreatitis. Your doctor will also assess for conditions like severe kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, or a history of severe gastrointestinal disease.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and can lead to lower calorie intake and weight loss. It also helps control blood sugar levels, which is why it's used for type 2 diabetes.

You should expect gradual results, not instant weight loss. Clinical trials show significant weight reduction over several months to a year. Semaglutide is a tool to support weight management alongside diet and exercise, not a magic bullet. It doesn't guarantee specific results, but it can be highly effective when used as part of a comprehensive plan.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide has potential side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time.

More serious, though rare, side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney issues, and thyroid tumours. If you experience severe abdominal pain (which may radiate to your back), persistent vomiting, fever, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact a doctor immediately. Your doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment or seek urgent medical attention based on your symptoms and overall health.
