Common questions See all FAQs

How does pricing work?

Every product shows its price upfront, including your provider visit, the medication and shipping. There are no membership fees. A 3-month supply costs less per month than monthly.

How do I get a prescription?

Choose a product and complete a short online visit. A healthcare provider licensed in your state reviews it. A prescription is issued only if the provider decides treatment is appropriate for you. If you are not approved, you are not charged for the medication.

Are compounded medications FDA-approved?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. They are prepared by state-licensed pharmacies under a valid prescription, and they are not generic versions of brand-name drugs such as Wegovy® or Zepbound®. Each product page states whether it is compounded or FDA-approved.

Can I message a provider after I start?

Yes. Your patient portal includes provider messaging, order tracking and follow-up visits at no extra cost.
