How do I get a GLP-1 prescription online?

Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online

Several telehealth platforms make this relatively straightforward. Here are some well-known options:

Reputable Services to Consider

• Hims & Hers - Offers semaglutide consultations with licensed providers, often with competitive pricing
• Ro (Body Program) - Connects you with doctors and includes ongoing support/coaching
• WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Focuses specifically on metabolic health and GLP-1 medications
• Noom Med - Combines behavioral coaching with medical weight loss treatment
• Teladoc - Larger telehealth platform with weight management services

General Process

1. Complete an online health assessment (medical history, weight, goals)
2. Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
3. Provider evaluates if you qualify (typically BMI 27+ with a condition, or BMI 30+)
4. Prescription sent to a pharmacy if approved

Important Considerations

• Insurance coverage varies significantly - check beforehand
• Compounded vs. brand name - Some services offer compounded semaglutide at lower cost (note FDA has raised some concerns about compounders)
• Ongoing monitoring is important - avoid services that skip follow-ups
• Be honest about your health history during the consultation
