Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Semaglutide Consultation (Virtual).

During the virtual consultation, a licensed clinician reviews your medical history, current medications, and weight-loss goals, assesses candidacy for semaglutide, discusses benefits and risks, and outlines a personalized treatment plan including dosing, monitoring, and follow-up.

Have a list of medications, recent lab results, medical history, and your weight-loss goals ready. Ensure a quiet, private space with a stable internet connection and complete any pre-visit forms emailed to you.

Adults with overweight or obesity seeking supervised medical weight loss may be candidates. Providers evaluate BMI, comorbidities, pregnancy status, and medication interactions to determine safety; not everyone will qualify for semaglutide therapy.

Some patients require baseline labs, pregnancy testing, or additional medical information before initiation. Our team will inform you if local testing or an in-clinic visit is necessary to ensure safe, informed treatment.

If appropriate, the provider can electronically prescribe semaglutide and arrange education on injections and titration. Follow-up visits occur virtually or in-clinic, with monitoring, refills, and care coordination handled by our team.

Providers review common gastrointestinal effects like nausea, vomiting, or constipation, plus potential dizziness or fatigue. We explain management strategies, warning signs, and dose adjustments to minimize side effects while optimizing benefit.
