Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor for Semaglutide, they look for specific criteria to determine if it's the right treatment for you. Typically, Semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication) is considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. The doctor will review your full medical history, including any existing conditions or medications, to ensure Semaglutide is safe and appropriate. Certain contraindications, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will be carefully assessed.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone in your body. It helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces your appetite, and slows down gastric emptying. This mechanism naturally leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand that Semaglutide isn't a magic bullet; it supports your weight loss efforts by managing hunger and satiety signals. Realistic timelines often show gradual, sustained weight loss over several months, not overnight results. It doesn't replace the need for healthy eating and physical activity but enhances their effectiveness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can have side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. These are usually mild and tend to decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. Your doctor will advise you on how to manage these. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to seek medical attention immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Always follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and when to discontinue the medication.
