Two different regulatory categories
Prescription GLP-1 medications require evaluation by a licensed healthcare professional and an appropriate prescription. Supplements are consumer products and are not substitutes for prescription therapy. A supplement listing does not establish that it has been tested to treat obesity or any disease.
A retailer can explain the differences, but it should not diagnose, prescribe, promise eligibility, or predict results. For that reason, our directory links out to independent providers instead of collecting clinical information or selling prescription medications.
Questions to ask a telehealth provider
Ask whether you are working with a licensed clinician in your state, which medication is being considered, what the full cost covers, and how follow-up and side-effect concerns are handled. Availability, coverage and clinical eligibility vary by person and location.
Where a supplement fits
An ingredient label can help a consumer compare contents and serving sizes. It cannot replace a medical evaluation. If you take medicines, are pregnant, or have a condition that affects what you should use, a healthcare professional can help assess the full picture.
