Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Here are some reputable telehealth services that can prescribe GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide):
Well-Known Platforms
- Hims & Hers - Offers consultations and compounded semaglutide; straightforward online process
- Ro (Roman) - Has a dedicated weight loss program with licensed provider consultations
- Noom Med - Combines medication with their behavioral coaching program
- WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence) - Integrates medication with their existing WW program
- Found - Focuses on personalized obesity medicine
General Process
- Complete a health questionnaire online
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Provider evaluates your eligibility (BMI, health history)
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy if appropriate
Things to Know
- Insurance coverage varies widely - many platforms help you navigate this
- Brand-name versions (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) can be expensive without coverage (~$900-1,300+/month)
- Compounded versions are cheaper but have some regulatory considerations
- You'll need follow-up check-ins to maintain your prescription
Important Note
Always use a platform with licensed, board-certified physicians - avoid any service that skips a real medical consultation.
