How is tirzepatide different from a classic GLP-1?

Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist (GLP-1 and GIP) which, in trials, shows larger average weight loss than mono-agonist GLP-1s in adults with obesity.

What does the doctor review before prescribing tirzepatide?

History of pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, family history of medullary thyroid cancer, pregnancy or plans to conceive, and current medication. Recent labs are also reviewed if provided.

What follow-up does Hi-Doctor offer during treatment?

Quarterly medical review through the private in-app chat, dose adjustments if side effects arise, and a new electronic prescription valid in any EU pharmacy when applicable.

Can I get a consultation for Tirzepatide from Granada?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Granada you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic 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 the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is 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.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and replies in under 24 h through the private chat in your account. 3) If eligible, the doctor issues an electronic prescription. 4) You collect it at any EU pharmacy. The consultation costs €25 and, if the doctor decides it is not safe to prescribe, the full amount is refunded.

How much does it cost and what does the price include?

The medical consultation costs €25 and includes a licensed doctor's review of your case and, if approved, the electronic prescription. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, the €25 is refunded. The medication price is separate and paid at the pharmacy; it varies by country, pharmacy and product across the EU. Because your electronic prescription is valid at any EU pharmacy, you can compare and choose where to fill it.

About

What is Tirzepatide?

Active ingredient: Tirzepatide · Dosages: 2.5 – 15 mg / week

Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist — it acts on the GLP-1 and GIP gut-hormone receptors at the same time. In clinical trials this translates into larger average weight loss than mono-agonist GLP-1s in adults with obesity.

It's a chronic treatment for as long as it's beneficial and safe: the doctor reviews your response every 3 months and decides with you whether to continue, adjust or stop. Discontinuation is gradual and paired with a maintenance plan.

How it works in the body

By activating two receptors at once, tirzepatide reinforces satiety signals, slows stomach emptying and helps regulate the insulin response — so you tend to eat less without counting every calorie.

How it helps

Three ways it supports weight loss.

Dual action

Works on two gut-hormone receptors (GLP-1 + GIP), not just one.

Reinforces satiety

Hunger eases and fullness lasts longer after smaller meals.

Reviewed quarterly

Your doctor reassesses response and tolerance every 3 months before renewing.

What to expect

A step-wise, supervised escalation.

The dose is escalated step-wise (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg) every 4 weeks while the body adapts. Your doctor sets your exact schedule.

Weeks 1–4 · 2.5 mg starting dose
From week 5 · Step up every 4 weeks as tolerated
Month 4+ · Personalised maintenance dose
Ongoing · Quarterly medical reviews

Weeks 1–42.5 mg / week

Pharmacy price~€320–410 / month

Your schedule is personal

These are typical steps only. Your doctor adjusts the plan to how you respond and tolerate it — and you can message them at any point.

Safety first

Safety, in full.

Tirzepatide is an effective medicine — and like any medicine it carries risks. Your doctor screens for all of this before prescribing. Here's the honest picture, not just reassurance.

Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or with overweight (BMI ≥27) plus at least one weight-related condition.

Once-weekly self-injection in the thigh, abdomen or upper arm.
Dose is escalated step-wise (2.5 mg → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg) every 4 weeks while the body adapts.
Combined with diet and physical activity — tirzepatide complements, not replaces, lifestyle change.

Who should not take it

Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.
Pregnancy, planned pregnancy in the next 2 months, or breastfeeding.
History of pancreatitis.
Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Severe gastroparesis.

When to seek urgent care

For severe, sudden or unexpected symptoms, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. Then let your doctor know through your account chat.

The slow dose increase made it manageable. The nausea early on faded, just like my doctor said.

Being able to message the doctor when I had questions about dosing made me feel looked after.

Honest advice — they told me it only works alongside changes to how I eat. That built trust.
