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 to determine suitability for weight loss medication. 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 (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure). Specific contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), will also be considered. The doctor will review your full medical history and current health status to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.

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

Weight loss medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller, reduces cravings, and can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake. While these medications are powerful tools, they are not a magic bullet. They are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines show that noticeable weight loss often begins within the first few weeks, with significant results accumulating over several months. Continued use, under medical supervision, is typically required for sustained weight management.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects can occur. You should stop the medication and consult your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Our doctors will discuss potential side effects with you and monitor your progress to ensure your safety and well-being.
