The specific indication depends on the clinical situation and the authorised technical SmPC.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need a prescription for Tirzepatide?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Tirzepatide is subject to prescription. The consultation does not guarantee a prescription: the doctor decides according to the indication and safety.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?<\/summary>\n<p>They are different active ingredients. Semaglutide acts on the Tirzepatide receptor; Tirzepatide acts on GIP and Tirzepatide. The choice requires evaluating history, tolerance, current medication and objectives.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much weight can you lose?<\/summary>\n<p>There is no guaranteed result. The response varies depending on the indicated treatment, the tolerated dose, time, diet, physical activity and medical circumstances of each person.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does the treatment last?<\/summary>\n<p>The duration is individual. The doctor reviews effectiveness, tolerance and safety before maintaining, adjusting or changing the plan.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What are the most common side effects?<\/summary>\n<p>Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting or abdominal discomfort may appear, especially when starting or increasing the dose. Intense or persistent symptoms require medical evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>When should I seek urgent care?<\/summary>\n<p>Seek urgent care for severe and persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting with inability to hydrate, allergic reaction, respiratory distress, or significant worsening.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does the consultation include medication?<\/summary>\n<p>No. The online consultation costs <span class=\"emc-price\" data-price-key=\"weight_loss_consultation\" data-fallback=\"39\u20ac\">39\u20ac<\/span>; The medication, if prescribed, is paid for separately at the pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do all pharmacies have the same price or stock?<\/summary>\n<p>The price may depend on the presentation and applicable regulations, and the stock varies by pharmacy. The prescription does not reserve units; It is advisable to confirm availability and price with an authorised pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I buy Tirzepatide online without a prescription?<\/summary>\n<p>No. In Portugal it is not legal to sell prescription medications online. Use an authorised pharmacy and avoid offers without health control.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro?<\/summary>\n<p>Don&#8217;t change on your own. The doctor must review the indication, previous dose, tolerance and appropriate timing to reduce risks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can the consultation be by phone or video?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. The initial assessment can be carried out remotely. If an examination or tests are needed, your doctor will explain the next step.<\/p>\n<\/details><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"faqPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.costamedicalservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-08-23-a-las-18.10.47.png\" alt=\"Active people walking outdoors\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"cms-expand\" type=\"button\" data-cms-faq-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\"><i>+<\/i><span>See more questions<\/span><\/button><\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"narrow source\"><strong>Official sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\/medicines\/human\/EPAR\/mounjaro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EMA\/INFARMED \u2014 Tirzepatide<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\/medicines\/human\/EPAR\/mounjaro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INFARMED \u2014 Tirzepatide medications<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infarmed.pt\/web\/infarmed\/profissionais-de-saude\/prescricao-e-dispensa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INFARMED \u2014 legal online sale<\/a>.
