A step-by-step map of legitimate telehealth prescription weight-management care.
1. Intake
You provide medical history, medication information and other eligibility details.
2. Clinician review
A licensed clinician assesses whether treatment is appropriate. Payment should not guarantee a prescription.
3. Prescription and fulfillment
If prescribed, medication is dispensed through a pharmacy. Product and pharmacy status should be clear.
4. Administration and monitoring
You should receive product-specific instructions and know how to contact the care team.
5. Refills and changes
Ongoing prescribing should account for response, tolerability and clinical judgment.
