What is liraglutide and how is it administered?

It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist given as a daily subcutaneous injection. It was one of the first in its class approved in Europe for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with comorbidities.

Liraglutide or semaglutide — which do doctors choose?

It depends on the case. Semaglutide generally shows larger average weight loss and is given weekly; liraglutide is daily and can be useful when flexibility is needed or a semaglutide has not been tolerated. The doctor weighs this up in your consultation.

What side effects should I expect?

Mild nausea, early fullness and occasional constipation, especially when escalating the dose. They are usually transient. Severe or persistent abdominal pain requires contacting the doctor via the private chat.

Can I combine it with other weight-loss treatments?

Two GLP-1 agonists are not combined. It is compatible with a structured nutrition and activity plan. The doctor reviews all your current medication before prescribing.

Can I get a consultation for Saxenda from Madrid?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Madrid you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The REMPE prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; in Spain it is dispensed directly from the prescription QR.

Who is a candidate for a medical weight-management programme?

Adults with BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with comorbidities (hypertension, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia). The doctor reviews your history, current medication and goals before proposing any treatment. It is not a cosmetic programme.

What is a REMPE prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

REMPE is the Spanish electronic private medical prescription issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
