Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict medical guidelines to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, they 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. Semaglutide is not suitable for everyone and contraindications apply, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe kidney problems. The doctor will assess your full medical history during your private consultation.

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 blood sugar. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows down gastric emptying. The result is a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand that Semaglutide is a tool to support weight loss, not a magic bullet. Realistic results are achieved over several months, not weeks, and depend on consistent use and adherence to a healthy lifestyle. It does not provide instant weight loss or replace the need for diet and exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are mild and temporary, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, such as pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects with you. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any red flags like severe abdominal pain, you should stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Always follow your prescribing doctor's advice.
