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

To ensure safe and effective treatment, our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient. Generally, doctors look for specific criteria for weight loss medications like Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Saxenda:

• 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
• No history of certain medical conditions, including specific thyroid cancers or pancreatitis.
• Not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

The doctor will review your full medical history and current health status through the online questionnaire to determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you.

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

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. They help regulate appetite, reduce food intake, and slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer. Liraglutide (Saxenda) operates similarly. These medications are powerful tools for weight management, but they are not magic pills.

They do provide significant support by reducing hunger and cravings, making it easier to adhere to a reduced-calorie diet. They don't replace the need for lifestyle changes. For realistic results, expect gradual weight loss over several months, typically 10-20% of your body weight over 12-18 months, when combined with diet and exercise. They are designed to be part of a comprehensive weight management plan, not a standalone solution for instant results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside as your body adjusts. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues.

It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any severe or persistent side effects immediately. You should stop the medication and seek medical attention if you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide full guidance on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
