The coverage is offered to patients from the municipality of Faro and its surroundings. This page is intended for people requesting an online consultation from the area. Costa Medical Services does not claim to have a physical clinic there: the initial assessment is carried out by telephone or video and if tests or an examination are necessary, the doctor will direct the appropriate in-person care.
To evaluate injectable medication for weight control, it is advisable to have the complete list of medications, medical history, allergies, weight and height, previous treatments and any recent tests prepared. The clinical decision is made on an individual basis; Booking a consultation does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued.
If the treatment is indicated, the private electronic prescription is processed through PEM and can be presented at an authorised pharmacy in Faro or another area of Portugal. Price and availability depend on each pharmacy, so it is advisable to check stock directly before visiting.
Follow-up can also be organized from Faro to review tolerance, adverse effects, evolution and the need to adjust or suspend treatment. Intense or urgent symptoms require in-person care and should not wait for a routine online consultation.
