How does an online weight loss program work?
An online weight loss program combines a prescription GLP-1 medication with telehealth visits, ongoing medical support and home delivery. You fill out a health evaluation online, a licensed provider reviews it, and your medication arrives at your door. Our guide to your first month on medication covers each stage.

What makes one online weight loss program better than another?
Medical oversight, clear pricing and ongoing support separate the best programs from the rest. Top programs cover the medication, consultations and follow-up care in a single monthly fee. Before enrolling, read how to evaluate a telehealth provider.
Which GLP-1 medications do online programs prescribe?
Most leading programs prescribe semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), or both. These are the two most effective GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Some programs offer both and others focus on one. Our tirzepatide vs semaglutide guide explains the differences.
Who qualifies for an online GLP-1 weight loss program?
