Who qualifies

A prescription is required for every GLP-1 sold in the US. Prescribers write it for an approved use on the label:

Diet and activity support long-term weight loss and weight maintenance. Children 12 and older (over 60 kg) and adults with obesity fall within the scope. Adults who have overweight and a weight-related condition are included as well.

Scam signals

No prescription required: sellers who skip that step are not licensed US pharmacies.
Sold as the brand, compounded drugs lack FDA approval. They are therefore not Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.
Claims that a drug was the same as the brand were misleading. FDA sent 30 warning letters about this to telehealth companies.
The FTC acted against one program that left the drug out of the monthly price. See the NextMed review.
