How do I get a Wegovy prescription online?

Short answer: You can get a Wegovy prescription via a telehealth visit with a licensed clinician — either your own PCP doing a virtual visit or through a reputable telemedicine or online weight‑management clinic that evaluates you, checks eligibility, and writes the prescription (if appropriate).

Step-by-step

1. Confirm basic eligibility (typical criteria)

   • BMI ≥30 kg/m², or BMI ≥27 with at least one weight‑related medical condition (high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol). A clinician will confirm eligibility and review risks.

2. Gather info to speed the visit

   • Current medication list, medical history (especially thyroid cancer, MEN2, pancreatitis, pregnancy/planning), recent labs if available (A1c, kidney function). Note pregnancy is a contraindication.

3. Choose a reputable telehealth or weight‑loss clinic

   • Calibrate — specializes in metabolic/GLP‑1 programs and offers structured coaching plus medical management; good for a comprehensive program.
   • PlushCare — national telehealth service with primary‑care and specialty providers who manage weight‑loss meds.
   • Teladoc or Amwell — large telemedicine platforms where you can see licensed doctors who may evaluate and prescribe GLP‑1s.
   • Hims & Hers (Hims/Hers) — DTC telehealth company that has weight‑loss programs and may prescribe GLP‑1 therapies.
   • GoodRx Care — inexpensive telehealth visits and can help with prescription access and coupons.
   • Or your own primary-care doctor via telemedicine.

   (Before booking, confirm the specific provider will prescribe Wegovy or another GLP‑1 — some will prescribe semaglutide products, some may prescribe other medications.)

4. Do the telehealth visit

   • Be open about medical history and goals. The clinician will assess risks/benefits and may order labs, recommend starting dose/titration, and plan follow‑up.

5. If prescribed

   • Wegovy is dispensed by specialty pharmacies (CVS Specialty, Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy, others). Many insurers require prior authorization.
   • Check Wegovy savings resources on Wegovy.com (Novo Nordisk) — there is a savings/copay program for eligible commercially insured patients and a patient support hub for starter training and injection instructions.

6. Safety and cost considerations

   • Expect high out‑of‑pocket cost without insurance (often $1,000+ per month). Ask the telehealth service about prior authorization help and manufacturer savings.
   • Beware of unregulated sellers, social‑media offers, or foreign pharmacies — these can be counterfeit or unsafe.
   • Important contraindications: personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2, pregnancy/planning pregnancy, certain pancreatitis history. Discuss side effects (nausea, vomiting, pancreatitis risk, gallbladder issues).
