Weight Loss Medication: Persistence is Key

Searching for a weight loss medication prescription online in Spain or another EU country? You've come to the right place. Hi Doctor makes it simple to get the medication you need through a licensed EU doctor, without a clinic visit. For just €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off, you can have your case reviewed and, if appropriate, receive a valid prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is accepted at any pharmacy across the EU.

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

  1. Fill out our quick online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off.
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your payment is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each case to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. 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 (such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol). The doctor will also review your medical history for any contraindications, ensuring your safety throughout the process. This individual review is crucial for your health and treatment success.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications, such as 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 stomach emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. However, these medications are not magic pills. They are most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Expect gradual progress; significant results typically appear over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are often temporary and can be managed with dietary adjustments. However, it's important to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects. Our doctors will guide you on what to look for and when to seek medical advice. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your condition worsens, you should stop the medication and consult a healthcare professional immediately. Your safety is our priority.
