Who qualifies

Prescription is required for every GLP-1 medicine sold in the US. The label lists approved uses, and a prescriber writes the prescription for one:

It lowers blood sugar when used with diet and exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes.
It reduces the chance of heart attack, stroke or death related to the heart in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
In adults with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, it lowers the chance of worsening kidney disease, kidney failure or death related to the heart.

The FDA drug label (DailyMed) is required.

Scam signals

A seller that skips the prescription is not a licensed US pharmacy.
This brand's lowest self-pay price is $149 a month, which is well under the manufacturer's own price.
Compounded drugs sold as the brand are not FDA approved. That means none is Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.
Notes say the active ingredient in approved drugs differs from semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate.
FDA sent 30 warning letters to telehealth companies over misleading claims, including claims that a product is the same as the brand.
The FDA lists 990 adverse event reports involving compounded semaglutide.
One program faced FTC action over monthly pricing that excluded the drug; see the NextMed review.
