Do I need a prescription for GLP-1 medications?

Back to FAQs

Yes, GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide require a prescription. It’s essential to work with an experienced provider who understands weight loss, can safely prescribe GLP-1 medications, monitor your progress, and adjust dosages as needed.

Some weight loss aids like LIPO-C and BioBoost (fat-burning nutrition injections) do not require prescriptions. To access those through Defy Medical, you’ll fill New Patient Paperwork to provide us your health history.
