Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors follow strict medical guidelines to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, they look for patients who meet specific criteria, often including:

• 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.
• Previous attempts at weight loss through diet and exercise that have not been successful.

Contraindications that would prevent a prescription include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a known hypersensitivity to Semaglutide or any of its components. The doctor will review all your medical information to ensure your safety.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and blood sugar. Specifically, it:

• Reduces appetite: You feel fuller faster and for longer, leading to reduced calorie intake.
• Slows gastric emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to sustained fullness.
• Improves blood sugar control: It helps your body release insulin when blood sugar levels are high and reduces sugar production by the liver.

What it doesn't do is offer a magic bullet. Semaglutide is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic timelines show significant weight loss — often 15% or more of initial body weight — over several months, not weeks. It supports your weight loss journey; it doesn't replace effort.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common are mild and temporary, often occurring when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These usually subside as your body adjusts.

More serious side effects are rare but possible. These include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and gallbladder problems. You should stop taking Semaglutide and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Always discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor. They will monitor your progress and advise on managing side effects or discontinuing treatment if necessary.
