Who qualifies for Semaglutide

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you. Generally, Semaglutide is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. The doctor will review your full medical history to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and blood sugar. It works by slowing gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reducing food cravings. It also helps control blood sugar levels, which can further aid in weight management. While highly effective for many, Semaglutide isn't a magic bullet. It supports weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Realistic timelines involve gradual weight loss, typically over several months, rather than rapid, dramatic drops. It helps reduce 'food noise' and portion sizes, but consistent healthy habits are still key.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can have side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Less common but serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. Our EU-licensed doctors will discuss these with you. You should stop Semaglutide and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Medical honesty builds trust, and your doctor will guide you on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
