Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually. Generally, they look 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 comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol). Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and its suitability depends on your overall health profile. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. Always provide a complete and accurate medical history in your questionnaire; this helps the doctor determine if Semaglutide is appropriate and safe for you.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, known by brand names like Wegovy, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural gut hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows down stomach emptying. The result? You typically eat less, which leads to weight loss. Clinical studies show an average weight loss of 15-17% over 68 weeks when combined with diet and exercise. This is not a 'magic pill' – it's a tool that supports your weight loss journey by helping you manage hunger and food intake more effectively. Realistic timelines mean consistent effort alongside the medication for sustainable results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. If the doctor finds Semaglutide is no longer appropriate or safe for you, they will advise you to stop treatment. Never adjust your dosage or stop medication without medical guidance.
