Losing weight isn’t just about diet and exercise—it’s about having the right medical support, personalized care, and access to the best treatment options. At My Virtual Physician, we are committed to helping patients achieve their weight loss goals through comprehensive virtual consultations, including access to GLP-1 medications, both compounded and non-compounded.
GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, have been game-changers in obesity medicine. These medications work by regulating appetite and improving insulin function, making it easier for patients to lose weight and maintain results. However, the high cost and limited insurance coverage of brand-name GLP-1 medications have made them inaccessible to many Americans.
At My Virtual Physician, we offer a solution: our board-certified doctors provide virtual weight loss consultations and help patients access both brand-name and compounded GLP-1 medications, depending on their needs and preferences.
Due to ongoing supply shortages and cost barriers, many patients are turning to compounded GLP-1 medications. Compounded medications are custom-prepared by specialized pharmacies, such as PROMED Pharmacy in Houston, TX, which is aligned with our referral network. While compounded medications can be a great alternative, it is essential for patients to understand the differences between these and their FDA-approved counterparts.
Our physicians provide thorough counseling on the risks and benefits of compounded medications, ensuring that patients can make informed decisions about their care. We follow strict clinical guidelines to prioritize patient safety and efficacy.
Weight loss is multifactorial, and at My Virtual Physician, we take a holistic approach to treatment. Our doctors assess each patient individually, considering medical history, lifestyle, and treatment preferences. If a patient has strong insurance coverage, they may be able to access brand-name GLP-1 medications with ease. For those facing financial or insurance barriers, compounded alternatives may be a more viable option.
With nearly 60 doctors in our network, we ensure that patients are connected with physicians who are experienced in obesity medicine and comfortable prescribing the right weight loss treatment for their specific situation.
