Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor, they carefully assess your medical history to determine if Semaglutide is a safe and appropriate treatment for you. Generally, doctors look for patients 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, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Key contraindications the doctor considers include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. Your doctor ensures that the medication aligns with your health profile and treatment goals.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. When you take Semaglutide, it tells your brain you're full, slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, and helps your body produce insulin more effectively when blood sugar is high. This leads to reduced hunger, fewer cravings, and ultimately, weight loss.

It's important to understand that Semaglutide is a tool to support your weight loss efforts, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. You should expect gradual, consistent weight loss over several months, not overnight results. The goal is sustainable change.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. These are often mild and tend to decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. Your doctor starts you on a low dose and gradually increases it to help minimize these effects.

It's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects like pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or severe allergic reactions. If you experience persistent severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or difficulty breathing, stop the medication immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Always communicate any concerns or unusual symptoms with your Hi-Doctor EU doctor via your private chat.
