Klarity connects you with licensed providers who can prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 weight loss medications online, often within 24 hours, supporting safe, personalized treatment plans.
More than half of patients using GLP-1 medications for weight loss shed at least 5% of their starting body weight in clinical trials. For example, individuals weighing 250 pounds can lose at least 12.5 pounds or more. Klarity Health makes obtaining these treatments quick, safe, and convenient through virtual consultations.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists include medications like Wegovy (semaglutide), Saxenda (liraglutide), Ozempic, and Trulicity. These FDA-approved drugs help manage obesity by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite, often leading to significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists such as Zepbound and Mounjaro offer enhanced effects, with clinical data indicating even greater weight reduction. All these medications work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate blood sugar and satiety.
GLP-1 drugs mimic the hormone released after eating, stimulating insulin and reducing glucagon, which lowers blood sugar. They delay gastric emptying, making you feel full longer. When combined with a low-calorie diet and increased activity, they significantly decrease appetite and promote weight loss.
In trials, Wegovy users lost up to 14.9% of body weight over 68 weeks, demonstrating their effectiveness. Saxenda users achieved up to 10% weight loss over 56 weeks.
FDA-approved criteria for GLP-1 prescriptions include adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with related health issues such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Children aged 12+ with obesity may also qualify after medical assessment.
Most GLP-1 drugs are injectable, administered daily or weekly, with dosages adjusted over time to minimize side effects. Rybelsus is available as a pill for type 2 diabetes but may also support weight management.
To obtain a prescription, schedule a virtual consultation with a licensed healthcare provider via Klarity. If the provider determines medication is appropriate, they will send a prescription to your pharmacy, which can include online pharmacies that deliver directly to your door.
Appointments are typically available within 24 hours. You may need an in-person visit depending on local regulations or if prescribed controlled substances.
Injectable GLP-1 drugs come prefilled in pens with varying doses: Wegovy (.25-, .50-, 1.0-, 1.7-, 2.4-mg), Saxenda, Trulicity, and others. Start at the lowest dose to reduce side effects, increasing gradually based on your provider’s instructions.
Dual agonists like Mounjaro and Zepbound are dosed similarly. Tolerance to higher doses varies; your provider will tailor your dose to your needs and side effect profile.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain, which typically resolve within weeks. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis or allergic reactions; consult your provider for guidance.
Patients should discuss potential interactions and contraindications before starting treatment, especially if on other medications or with certain health conditions.
Retail prices for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound can exceed $1,000 per month. Savings programs, coupons from sites like GoodRx, and manufacturer discounts can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Insurance coverage may also lower costs or provide free supplies.
Clinical trials suggest GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy yield greater weight loss than medications such as Qsymia, Contrave, or Xenical. Dual GLP-1/GIP agonists like Zepbound often produce even more weight reduction. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your health profile.
