Frequently Asked Questions — GLP-1 Medications
Yes. All providers listed on this site offer fully online evaluations by licensed physicians. You'll complete a health intake form, share relevant medical history, and a licensed provider will review your case. If you're eligible, a prescription is sent to a pharmacy (for brand-name medications) or shipped directly to you (for compounded versions). No in-person visit required in most states.
Ozempic and Wegovy both contain semaglutide but are FDA-approved for different uses: Ozempic for type 2 diabetes, Wegovy for chronic weight management. Mounjaro and Zepbound both contain tirzepatide — a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist shown to produce greater average weight loss than semaglutide alone. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound for weight management. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your health history.
Brand-name Ozempic costs approximately $900–$1,100/month without insurance. Wegovy is $1,300–$1,500/month. Mounjaro and Zepbound run $1,000–$1,200/month. Compounded semaglutide (a pharmaceutical-grade generic alternative) costs $150–$400/month through telehealth platforms — dramatically cheaper. Note: the FDA has lifting of the semaglutide shortage designation affects compounded availability; check with your provider for current status.
Coverage varies significantly. Ozempic is often covered by insurance when prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Wegovy coverage for weight loss is less consistent — some plans cover it, many don't. Several telehealth providers on this list actively help with insurance prior authorization appeals. Medicare currently does not cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss only, though this is under legislative review. Always check with your specific insurance plan.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain — especially when starting or increasing doses. These often improve after the first few weeks. More serious but rare risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and a potential (theoretical) thyroid cancer risk seen in animal studies. GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone. A licensed physician must evaluate your complete medical history before prescribing. This site does not provide medical advice.
Compounded semaglutide is legal when prepared by an FDA-registered 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy and prescribed by a licensed physician. It is not FDA-approved as a drug product (only the brand-name versions are), but compounding itself is legal. Quality varies by pharmacy, so always use providers who source from accredited compounders. The FDA designated a shortage of semaglutide in 2023–2024 which allowed compounding; check current status with your provider as availability changes.
