GLP-1 Rx drug products require an assessment from a licensed healthcare provider who will determine if the medication is appropriate. Your clinician will make a treatment decision based on your medical history and overall health after the completion of a telehealth consultation. GLP-1 receptor agonists—including Ozempic®, Mounjaro®, semaglutide, and tirzepatide—have been prescribed (on-and-off label) for weight management, including obesity, along with a reduced caloric diet and increased physical activity. Ozempic® and Mounjaro® are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes treatment, but may be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a healthcare provider’s discretion. Take precaution with, and read all warnings concerning, GLP-1s, as they may cause serious side effects, including a risk of thyroid c-cell tumors. Do not use if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC (medullary thyroid carcinoma) or MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome). See important warnings & safety info about these medications. As an alternative to FDA-approved branded products, where appropriate, a provider may prescribe a GLP-1 compounded drug that is effective when prescribed off label for weight loss, which is prepared by a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy partner. Although GLP-1 compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law, they are not FDA-approved and do not undergo safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review. Thoroughly review all warnings and essential safety information regarding these drugs.
Prescription medications require an online medical assessment and consultation with a licensed clinician who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. GenoPalate will connect you with an independent provider through our telehealth partner WellSync™. They will evaluate whether you’re a candidate for GLP-1 therapies and, if appropriate, write a prescription that you can fill at your local pharmacy.
The information on this page is for educational purposes and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have questions about your health, talk with a doctor. GenoPalate does not recommend or endorse any specific prescription drug, pharmacy, or treatment. We make no warranties about the accuracy or completeness of information here. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting, changing, or stopping any medical treatment. The WellSync clinician can conduct an initial evaluation but may refer you to a specialist or in-person care if needed. If you experience life-threatening symptoms, seek emergency medical help immediately.
Compounded medications are prepared in State Board of Pharmacy–licensed sterile compounding facilities or FDA-registered outsourcing facilities (503(b)). Although these facilities follow strict regulations, compounded drugs are not FDA-approved—they’re made to a provider’s prescription for an individual patient. Differences in strength, dose, administration route, and other factors may affect how outcomes and risks compare with FDA-approved products. Any compounded medication prescribed is based on a licensed provider’s clinical judgment during a telehealth encounter and review of your medical history.
