Getting a GLP-1 Prescription Online
Several telehealth platforms make this process straightforward:
Reputable Services to Consider

- Offers compounded versions at lower cost
Ro (Body Program)
- Dedicated weight loss program
- Includes ongoing provider support and check-ins
Noom Med
- Combines medication with behavioral coaching
- Good if you want a structured program
WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence)
- Insurance navigation support
- Focuses on long-term weight management
General Process
- Complete a health questionnaire online
- Video or async consultation with a licensed provider
- Provider evaluates if you qualify (typically BMI 27+ with a condition, or BMI 30+)
- Prescription sent to pharmacy or shipped directly
Things to Know
- Costs vary widely ($200–$1,000+/month without insurance)
- Compounded versions are cheaper but less regulated
- Brand names (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) may have shortages
- Always use board-certified providers, not just online questionnaires
