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

1. Fill out the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) 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 the medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). Certain contraindications, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will prevent prescription. The doctor will carefully review your full medical history during the online consultation to ensure your safety and treatment suitability.

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 blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to a reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. These medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. They are not a magic bullet; consistent effort is still required for sustainable results. You can expect to see gradual but steady weight loss over several months, not overnight transformations.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious side effects are rare but can occur. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any persistent or severe side effects immediately. If you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, changes in vision, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop the medication and seek urgent medical attention. Your doctor will provide full guidance on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
