Six months is the very end of the timeframes set out in the Spanish summaries of product characteristics, and finasteride's main aim is to stop hair loss, not to regrow a lot of hair. Before you switch treatment, check four things: how long you have been on it, how consistently you have used it, what you expected to achieve, and whether the diagnosis and the authorised indication fit your case.

What the Spanish summary of product characteristics for Wegovy tablets says about levothyroxine, metformin, anticoagulants and other morning medicines. It also covers why the half-hour wait and taking the tablet on its own matter, what is known about alcohol, and what happens in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The summary of product characteristics describes only one switch: from the 2.4 mg pen to the 25 mg tablet, one week after the last injection. This piece covers switching from other doses, from Ozempic or from Mounjaro, what you gain and lose, and what each form costs in Spain.

Pills and drops sold as ‘GLP-1’ are food supplements, not medicines. Here’s what they contain, what the studies and EU law say, why there’s no such thing as Wegovy drops, and how to spot an illegal sale.

Tirzepatide doesn't come as a tablet. Mounjaro is only sold as an injection. Lilly's pill is a different molecule, orforglipron (Foundayo), and it's still waiting for a decision from the European Commission. We explain what still has to happen before it reaches Spain, what its trial found and which tablets you can get in Spain today.

How much weight people lose on oral Wegovy according to the OASIS 4 trial, why some sources quote 13.6% and others 17%, what early users are saying, and why some people respond less well to the tablet.

In Spain, semaglutide tablets cannot be sold without a prescription or online. This piece looks at what is actually on offer on Amazon and social media, what the AEMPS and the EMA have warned about, how to recognise a legal online pharmacy and what the legal route is.

What BIFIMED says about Wegovy tablets and pens, why Spain's Ministry of Health turned it down, when Ozempic is funded, where Mounjaro stands, what you pay on a private prescription, and whether insurers or regional health services cover it.

Rybelsus and Wegovy tablets contain the same semaglutide, but only one is indicated for weight management. We compare their indication, the maximum dose in each product's prescribing information, the weight lost in their trials, price and public funding in Spain.

The GLP-1 your gut makes rises with protein at the start of a meal, carbohydrates at the end and fermentable fibre. How much it rises according to the studies, why it lasts minutes compared with semaglutide's week, and what actually shifts weight.

Every Wegovy dose available in Spain, how the summary of product characteristics describes dose escalation for the pen and the tablets, what each box contains, and why milligrams for one route don't carry over to the other.

Daily tablet or weekly pen: what OASIS 4 and STEP 1 show in the absence of a head-to-head trial, the digestive side effects of each, what taking them involves and how much each form costs at a pharmacy in Spain.
