Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a powerful tool for weight management, but it's not for everyone. Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure patient safety and effectiveness. Generally, you may qualify if you have:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
• A BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (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), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis. Our doctors carefully assess your full medical history during the online consultation to determine if Semaglutide is the right treatment for you.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. Here's what it does:

• Reduces appetite: You feel fuller, faster, and for longer.
• Slows gastric emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, helping you feel satisfied.
• Improves blood sugar control: It stimulates insulin release and suppresses glucagon.

Most patients experience significant weight loss, typically around 15-17% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes. However, Semaglutide is not a magic bullet. It works best when partnered with healthy eating and regular physical activity. It doesn't guarantee instant results, and individual outcomes vary.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal and tend to be mild to moderate, improving as your body adjusts to the medication:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain

Your doctor will start you on a low dose and gradually increase it to minimize these effects. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any of the following red flags, you should contact a doctor immediately:

• Severe abdominal pain (could indicate pancreatitis).
• Symptoms of gallbladder problems (e.g., pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, jaundice).
• Signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing).

Always discuss your concerns with an EU-licensed doctor. They will advise if you should adjust your dose or stop treatment.
