Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Several telehealth platforms make this relatively straightforward. Here are some reputable options:
Popular Services
- Hims & Hers - Offers consultations for semaglutide/tirzepatide; competitive pricing with compounded options
- Ro (Roman) - Has a dedicated weight loss program with licensed provider consultations
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Focuses specifically on metabolic health and GLP-1s
- Noom Med - Combines behavioral coaching with medication management
- Found - Specializes in weight care with multiple medication options
General Process
- Complete an online health questionnaire about your medical history
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Provider reviews eligibility (typically BMI 27+ with a condition, or BMI 30+)
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy or shipped directly
Things to Know
- Cost varies widely - Brand names (Ozempic, Wegovy) can be expensive; compounded versions are cheaper but have some controversy around quality
- Insurance coverage may require prior authorization
- You'll need follow-up appointments to maintain the prescription
- Medical history matters - some conditions may disqualify you
