Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors follow clinical guidelines to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, primarily your Body Mass Index (BMI) and medical history. Generally, Semaglutide is considered 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. Your doctor will carefully review your full medical history to ensure your safety and treatment suitability during the €25 online consultation.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural gut hormone that helps regulate appetite and food intake. It slows down gastric emptying, making you feel full for longer, and it also influences areas of the brain that control hunger. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. For patients with type 2 diabetes, it also helps lower blood sugar levels. What Semaglutide doesn't do is offer a magic bullet. It's most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for noticeable weight loss typically involve several months, as the dosage is gradually increased under medical supervision.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. These are usually mild and temporary, often resolving as your body adjusts to the medication. Other potential side effects include fatigue, headache, dizziness, and injection site reactions. Red flags that require immediate medical attention include severe or persistent abdominal pain (which could indicate pancreatitis), persistent vomiting or diarrhea leading to dehydration, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing). If you experience severe side effects, or any that concern you, contact your doctor immediately. They will advise you on whether to adjust your dose or stop the medication.
