Getting an online prescription for GLP-1 and GIP® in Ireland isn’t rocket science, but it’s not as simple as ordering your weekly groceries either. You’re probably here because you’ve heard the buzz about this weight loss injection that’s got everyone talking.
Maybe you’ve tried everything else and you’re thinking “this has to work, right?” Let me break it down for you straight – including how to actually get it without the runaround.
GLP-1 and GIP® Hits Different Than Everything Else
GLP-1 and GIP® is the new kid on the block. This dual-action injection targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which basically means it’s hitting your appetite from two angles instead of one.
Think of it like this: single action drugs are like using one hand to fight hunger, while GLP-1 and GIP is like using both hands plus your feet. Clinical trials showed people losing up to 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks – that’s not a typo.
One in three people lost more than 25% of their starting weight. Those aren’t “lose 5 pounds before summer” numbers. Those are life-changing numbers.
Getting It Online Is Possible (With Rules)
Here’s the thing – yes, you can get an online prescription for GLP-1 and GIP in Ireland
What this means for you: No coverage (you’re paying out of pocket), must be prescribed by a licensed Irish doctor, and you can’t just rock up to any website and order it.
Several legitimate online services offer consultations with IMC registered doctors – for example, WeightLossInjections.ie provides consultations from €50, but only if you qualify medically.
You Need High BMI or Health Problems
Stop right there before you start calculating doses. You need either a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher, or a BMI between 27-30 kg/m² with a weight-related health condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes.
The reality check: This isn’t for people wanting to lose 10 pounds for their holidays. You need actual medical reasons, and every case gets reviewed individually by a licensed doctor.
Think of it as a bouncer at an exclusive club – you either meet the criteria or you don’t. No amount of sweet talking changes the medical requirements.
Fill Out Form, Doctor Reviews, Get Prescription
Here’s how getting an online prescription for GLP-1 and GIP actually works:
Fill Out The Medical Form
You fill out a medical questionnaire that covers your weight and height, medical history, current medications, and any health conditions. Takes about 10 minutes if you’re honest and thorough.
Doctor Decides If You Qualify
An IMC registered doctor reviews your application within 2 hours and decides if GLP-1 and GIP is right for you. This isn’t rubber-stamping – they’re checking if it’s actually safe for you.
Get Your Digital Prescription Fast
This bypasses the traditional requirement for physical signatures that Northern Irish pharmacies normally need. Many Northern Irish pharmacies then deliver directly to Ireland – giving you access to significantly lower prices.
No waiting weeks for appointments, no awkward conversations with your GP about your weight, and no paying inflated prices if you choose the Northern Ireland route.
Here’s What You’ll Actually Pay
Let’s talk money because this is where reality hits hard. Here’s the actual breakdown that nobody wants to discuss upfront:
Prescription fee is €50 (some services charge €60-€90, others over €100).
The Northern Ireland Option: Weight Loss Injections Ireland can send digital prescriptions to Northern Irish pharmacies for significant savings.
Dose | Irish Price | Northern Ireland Price | Savings |
GLP-1 and GIP 2.5mg | €285 | £145 (€170) | €115 |
GLP-1 and GIP 5mg | €360 | £145 (€170) | €190 |
GLP-1 and GIP 7.5mg | €475 | £165 (€193) | €282 |
GLP-1 and GIP 10mg | €475 | £165 (€193) | €282 |
GLP-1 and GIP 12.5mg | Not available | £195 (€228) | N/A |
GLP-1 and GIP 15mg | Not available | £195 (€228) | N/A |
Many of these pharmacies deliver directly to Ireland. You’re looking at savings of €100-€250 per month compared to Irish pharmacy prices.
The HSE doesn’t cover it under the Drug Payment Scheme yet – they’re still deciding if it’s “value for money.” Still not pocket change, but considerably less painful.
Start Low, Go Slow, Build Up Over Months
You start with 2.5mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks – this isn’t the therapeutic dose. It’s your body’s “getting used to it” phase.
Month by month dosing schedule:
Timeline | Dose | Purpose |
Weeks 1-4 | 2.5mg | Adjustment phase |
Weeks 5-8 | 5mg | Still titrating |
Weeks 9-12 | 7.5mg | If needed |
Weeks 13+ | Up to 15mg max | Based on response |
Many people find their sweet spot at 5mg and stay there if they’re getting good results.
It’s not a sprint – it’s a marathon with planned pit stops.
You’ll Feel Sick For Weeks (Probably)
Let’s be real about what you might experience. Common side effects include nausea (especially the first few weeks), constipation, heartburn, feeling tired, and bloating.
Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts, especially during dose increases. But here’s what they don’t always tell you – some people feel rough for weeks.
Not everyone gets the Instagram-worthy “I feel amazing” experience.
Don’t Get Scammed By Fake Websites
Not all online prescription services are created equal. Legit services will require proper medical consultations, use licensed Irish doctors, send prescriptions through official channels and offer ongoing medical support.
Red flags to avoid:
Warning Sign | Why It’s Dangerous |
Selling GLP-1 and GIP directly without prescriptions | Unsafe and illegal |
“Too good to be true” pricing | Likely fake medication |
No licensed doctor involvement | Unsafe |
Promising results without medical assessment | Not following medical protocols |
