Weight Loss Medication Affordability: Making Treatment Accessible

Looking to get a weight loss medication prescription online in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your case and, if appropriate, issue a prescription for medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Our process is simple, fast, and transparent: a flat €25 online consultation fee, a REMPE electronic prescription issued in under 24 hours if approved, and the ability to collect your medication at any pharmacy across the EU. And there's no risk — if the doctor determines treatment is not appropriate, your €25 fee is refunded.

How it works — get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a short online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and securely pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case individually and privately. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (as a downloadable PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and by 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 weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors follow established medical guidelines to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you. They assess your medical history, current health status, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Generally, these medications are considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will look for contraindications and ensure the treatment aligns with your overall health profile. Your safety is always the priority.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications, often GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down gastric emptying. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support weight loss, not magic bullets. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, with ongoing use often necessary for sustained results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can occur. If you experience persistent severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or any other concerning symptoms, you should stop the medication immediately and seek medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full information on potential side effects and red flags during your consultation, ensuring you are well-informed about your treatment.
