- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.
Who qualifies for weight loss medication
When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor assesses several factors to determine if weight loss medication is right for you. They look for specific criteria, including your Body Mass Index (BMI) and overall health status. 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 health condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). The doctor also checks for contraindications, ensuring the medication is safe given your medical history and other conditions.
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 digestion. This leads to a reduced calorie intake and, over time, 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 like a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss typically span several months, not weeks, and individual results vary.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These are usually mild and temporary. Your doctor will discuss the potential side effects with you during the consultation. It's crucial to report any severe or persistent side effects immediately. You should also stop the medication and consult your doctor if you experience any red flags such as severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of pancreatitis. Medical honesty is key to safe and effective treatment.
