Q & A
Q: If I am already on a GLP-1 medication do I have to start over on dosing?
A: If you are already taking a GLP-1 medication and are getting started with us, you can continue on your current dose if deemed appropriate by your doctor or nurse practitioner. Documentation of your prior prescription is required to order beyond a starting dose.
Q: Are there any specific weight or BMI requirements?
A: We do not have a hard cut-off for BMI or weight to be eligible for medication; however, if you are underweight for your height, a GLP-1 medication is not recommended.
Q: Do you require bloodwork before starting medication?
A: We do not require bloodwork to be completed prior to starting medication; however, it is recommended to have testing such as an A1C level, thyroid levels, and a cholesterol panel completed with your PCP.
Q: Do you offer maintenance dosing?
A: Yes, we have many patients on maintenance dosing, some short term and some long term.
Q: Do I get to choose which pharmacy I order from?
A: Yes, you can always choose which pharmacy you order from, as long as that pharmacy is available in your state of residence.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Shipping times will vary by pharmacy stock and dosage. The range can be anywhere from 4-10 business days from the date the order is placed for delivery. Invoices paid outside of normal business hours, on weekends, or near holidays may require an additional 1-2 days for processing. Your tracking number is sent to you via email when your medication is ready to ship.
Q: How do I give myself my injections?
A: Included in your welcome email you receive after placing your order is a detailed self-injection guide. You will also receive a prescription summary with details on your specific dose.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Many patients notice some degree of appetite suppression within 48 hours of their first dose. Some patients may require higher doses to have appetite suppression. It may take time to start seeing the scale move while on introductory dosing. There is significant individual variability on the rate of weight loss due to several factors such as diet, exercise, sleep habits, age, genetics, and much more.
