Who qualifies for Semaglutide

When a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor reviews your case for Semaglutide, they look for specific criteria to ensure it's safe and effective for you. Semaglutide, as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is typically prescribed for adults who meet certain health requirements. This usually includes individuals 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Contraindications are also carefully considered. These include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal disease, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. The doctor will assess your full medical history to determine if Semaglutide is the right treatment path for you.

What Semaglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. When you take Semaglutide, it signals your brain that you're full, slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, and helps your body produce more insulin when needed. This leads to reduced hunger, fewer cravings, and ultimately, weight loss.

However, it's important to have realistic expectations. Semaglutide is not a magic pill. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular physical activity. While many patients experience significant weight loss, results vary. It’s a long-term treatment, and consistent use is key. It doesn't guarantee a specific amount of weight loss in a set timeframe, but it provides a powerful tool to support your efforts.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These usually lessen over time as your body adjusts. To minimise these, the doctor will often recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it.

Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and changes in vision. You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain (which may radiate to your back), yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction. If side effects become unmanageable or concerning, your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will advise you on whether to adjust your dose or discontinue treatment.
