Combining Weight Loss Medication with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable 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 your medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your individual health profile to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate. Generally, they look for:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity).
• 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.
• No history of certain contraindications, including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe allergic reactions to the medication's ingredients.
• Not pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor considers your full medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

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

Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down gastric emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss.

These medications are not magic pills. They are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. They help manage the biological drivers of hunger, making it easier to stick to healthier habits, but they don't replace the need for dietary and exercise adjustments.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually improve over time.

It's important to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects such as pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. You should stop the medication immediately and seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction like swelling of the face or throat. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full guidance and is available for chat within your private account.
