- F.A.Q's
At Shape Meds, we believe in a tailored approach to your health. Should your doctor prescribe medication, options may include GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy® & Ozempic®) or tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound™ & Mounjaro®). There are other medications that may be beneficial for your treatment goals. Those medications could include drugs like metformin, bupropion, topiramate. We also understand that managing side effects is crucial, so medication to alleviate symptoms like nausea might also be part of your care plan. Remember, your well-being is our priority!
Your health journey is unique, and so is our approach to your care. When you join, the prescription of semaglutide, tirzepatde or any other medication will depend on the professional judgement and assessment of the doctor matched to you through our platform. Rest assured, your treatment plan will be as unique as you are.
We know that understanding potential side effects is essential. The side effects you might experience can vary, depending on the medication prescribed, your medical history, and lifestyle factors. Your doctor will provide you with comprehensive information on possible side effects, ensuring you're fully informed as part of your personalized care plan.
When we started Shape Meds we knew that we wanted to provide the best service possible, with fair pricing and, above all else, ensure the safety of our patients. While we understand that this can seem like an inconvenience, we do not believe anyone should be prescribed these medications without looking at all potential risks and side effects.
All health visits, required lab work, and medication is covered under the costs outlined above. On top of that, we will provide you with a 4 week meal plan with shopping list to help you start building better habits. This meal plan was written by a third party certified dietician and nutritionist. We also have member exclusive live Q&A sessions with providers, nutritionists, and admin members of Shape Meds to help answer questions as you navigate your new lifestyle!
Yes! Not only are we LegitScript certified but our entire provider network and any pharmacy you work with is also required to be LegitScript certified as well! Many companies sport the LegitScript certification but ship medications from pharmacies that have not been properly vetted in order to save money. We take your health seriously and will only work with pharmacies that feel the same way!
Absolutely! We do charge a small fee for the visit ($49) but our provider can write a prescription for supportive medications and have it called in to your local pharmacy where you can utilize your insurance for those meds. Don't have insurance? Reach out and we can provide you with a discount code to help with the costs of medication!
As we've mentioned before, the team at Shape Meds is dedicated to providing our patients with the safest experience possible. Working with only LegitScript certified providers and pharmacies, requiring bloodwork, and video consults are all benefits for our patients that we believe are necessary. That being said, these additional steps and requirements mean we pay more and in turn our prices are not the cheapest. We believe, once signing up with us, you will see the difference and won't regret your decision to work with us!
