Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about GLP-1 therapy, our process, and what to expect.

What are GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of FDA-approved medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have been shown to promote significant weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. All GLP-1 medications require a valid prescription from a licensed physician. Our platform connects you with licensed providers who evaluate your health profile and, if appropriate, prescribe the right medication for you.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Clinical trials have shown average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 68 weeks with semaglutide, and up to 22.5% with tirzepatide. Individual results vary based on factors like starting weight, diet, exercise, and adherence to the treatment plan.

What are the common side effects?

The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach discomfort. These are typically mild and tend to improve over time as your body adjusts. Our physicians can help manage side effects through dosage adjustments.

Is this covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance plan. Many plans now cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss. We can provide documentation to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We also offer competitive self-pay pricing.

How is the medication shipped?

Medications are dispensed by a licensed US pharmacy and shipped in temperature-controlled, discreet packaging via overnight courier to maintain potency. You will receive tracking information once your order ships.
