Dope Doctors is an online weight loss clinic offering compounded GLP-1 medications, NAD+ injections, and emotional support animal (ESA) letters through telemedicine. Patients complete a virtual visit with a licensed provider, and if approved, medication ships directly to their home.
Are these medications proven weight loss treatments?
GLP-1 receptor agonists have been studied in clinical trials and have shown significant weight loss benefits for certain patients when combined with diet and exercise.
What is a GLP-1 medication?
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. They slow digestion, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce hunger, which can support weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
What are the common side effects of GLP-1 medications?
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach discomfort, especially when starting treatment or increasing doses. These usually improve as your body adjusts. Your provider will start you at a low dose and increase gradually to minimize side effects. Contact your provider promptly about severe or persistent symptoms.
Do I need to diet and exercise while on GLP-1 medication?
GLP-1 medications work best combined with healthy eating and regular physical activity. The medication reduces appetite, which makes lifestyle changes easier to maintain, but it is intended to support — not replace — healthy habits. Your provider will discuss nutrition and activity as part of your treatment plan.
Getting started takes three steps: (1) complete a free online consultation, (2) meet virtually with a licensed provider who reviews your health history, and (3) if approved, your medication ships directly to your home.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes, it is completely free to see if you qualify for our program!
No, this program will be out of pocket for patients. We do accept FSA and HSA.
FSA (Flexible Spending Account) is an employer sponsored healthcare benefit. HSA (Health Savings Account) is an account for individuals with high deductible health plans.
Are there any hidden fees or contracts?
No. Billing is month-to-month with no contracts, no membership fees, and no hidden costs.
Please note that all sales are final.
