3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for Wegovy or Mounjaro

When reviewing your case for medications like Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide), the doctor looks for specific criteria. Generally, these GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescribed 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and severe gastrointestinal disease. The doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

What Wegovy and Mounjaro actually do (and don't do)

Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are GLP-1 receptor agonists that help manage weight by mimicking natural hormones your body releases after eating. They work by slowing down gastric emptying, increasing feelings of fullness, and reducing appetite. This can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. Mounjaro also acts on GIP receptors, potentially offering enhanced effects. Patients typically experience gradual weight loss over several months, not overnight. These medications are most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. They are not a magic bullet and require consistent lifestyle changes for sustained results.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of GLP-1 agonists like Wegovy and Mounjaro include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild to moderate and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney issues, and allergic reactions. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. The doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment if side effects are unmanageable or if the medication is not providing the expected benefits.
