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

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 patient individually. Typically, they look for adults aged 18-75 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or a history of pancreatitis. Your full medical history is crucial for the doctor to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate and safe for you.

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

Weight loss medications, often GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller, reduces cravings, and can lead to significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. You can expect a gradual reduction in weight, with noticeable changes typically within the first few weeks, and more substantial results over several months. These medications are a tool to support your weight loss journey, not a magic bullet. They are most effective when integrated into a comprehensive plan that includes lifestyle changes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often lessen over time. It's crucial to report any side effects to your doctor. While rare, serious side effects can occur. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention and stop the medication. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on managing side effects and advise you if treatment should be discontinued.
