How to Get Glp1
Medically reviewed by Linda Girgis | MD, Girgis Family Medicine on August 20th, 2026.
GLP-1 medications require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Eligibility typically requires a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The process involves a medical consultation where providers assess your health history, current medications, and weight loss goals. FDA-approved GLP-1 medications include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Insurance coverage varies significantly, with costs ranging from $25-50 monthly with insurance to $800-1,200 without coverage. Many manufacturers offer discount programs that can reduce costs substantially. Virtual consultations are available through telehealth platforms, making access more convenient for eligible patients.
