Medical weight loss and GLP-1 care in your area: what to ask

- Ask for the full monthly cost in writing: visits, medication, shipping and follow-up.
- Ask how side effects are monitored and how often you will check in with a clinician or dietitian.

Common questions
Do I need a prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Yes. Both are prescription medications. A licensed provider reviews your health history and decides whether a GLP-1 medicine is appropriate for you.
What is the difference between brand-name and compounded GLP-1 medication?
Brand-name products are FDA-approved finished drugs. Compounded versions are prepared by a pharmacy and are not FDA-approved. Ask any provider which they prescribe and which pharmacy fills it.
Can I do a GLP-1 program by telehealth?
Often, yes. Telehealth programs such as Elevation Health (featured) review your intake online, and some states require a live telehealth visit before prescribing.
What should a weight loss program include besides medication?
Look for nutrition coaching, a plan for side effects, regular check-ins and a plan for what happens when you stop. Registered-dietitian support is a strong sign.
