What to review before and during treatment

The patient leaflet and current product information describe known side effects, their frequency, contraindications and what to do if problems occur. Discuss new or concerning symptoms with a clinician.

Who decides whether treatment is suitable

A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate based on BMI, health history, other conditions, medicines and individual risk. A prescription is never automatic or guaranteed.

Weight loss prescription

An online consultation can make clinician assessment easier to access. If treatment is appropriate, a clinician may issue a prescription under the rules of the relevant country.

Price and availability

Prices differ by country, dose, pack size, pharmacy and reimbursement. There is no single reliable “EU price”.
