- Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.
Who qualifies for weight loss medication
When you complete your online consultation, an EU-licensed doctor will carefully review your medical history and current health status. They look for specific criteria to determine if weight loss medication, such as a GLP-1 like semaglutide or tirzepatide, is appropriate and safe for you. Generally, this includes:
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
- A BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol).
- No contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
The doctor assesses your overall health to ensure the medication aligns with your specific needs and medical profile. Your safety is their top priority.
What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. They help regulate your appetite, slow down gastric emptying, and improve blood sugar control. This means you feel fuller for longer, experience fewer cravings, and ultimately consume fewer calories.
These medications are powerful tools that support weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. They are not magic pills; they facilitate a sustainable reduction in body weight over several months. Realistic timelines involve gradual weight loss, typically 5-15% of initial body weight over 6-12 months, which can be life-changing for many. They do not replace lifestyle changes but enhance their effectiveness significantly.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts.
It's crucial to be aware of potential red flags. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain (which could indicate pancreatitis), changes in vision, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on what to expect and when to be concerned. If side effects are persistent or severe, the doctor may advise adjusting your dose or discontinuing the medication. Open and honest communication during your online consultation is key to a safe and effective treatment.
