Wegovy and Ozempic are self-administered by the patient into the fat tissue by a pen injector on a weekly basis. The medication can be picked up at any pharmacy that carries it–just like any other medication and it does not have to be administed by a healthcare professional. Or our Weight Loss Premium package includes the consultation and the discounted cost of the medication shipped to your home.

The injection itself is easy to do, but may cause some minimal pain or discomfort. Some of our patients prefer if a family member helps with the injection.

The dose depends on each person’s tolerance to the medication, but generally each month the medication dose will be increased, until a maintenance dose is achieved.

The initial prescription is for 4-6 weeks. Each subsequent follow-up visit would assess if the dose is well enough tolerated to go to the next higher dosage for the next 4 weeks. The maximum maintence dose is usually achieved after about 2-3 months.  At that time the provider would be able to send a prescription for 2 months at a time. The medication is taken for as long as it is beneficial to the patient, and can even be taken long-term to maintain the weight if stopping the medication causes weight gain.

A consultation with one of our weight loss specialists and the Ozempic/Wegovy prescription sent to your pharmacy is just $75–with no hidden fees.

You also have the option to choose our ‘Weight Loss Plus’ option for $429: This includes the consultation, the prescription and one steeply discounted Ozempic pen (2mg or 4 mg, lasting approximately 1 month), shipped to your home, generally within 5-7 business days.

The price of Ozempic varies but is generally aboce $900 per month (1 pen). Please note that health insurances generally do not cover the cost of Ozempic/Wegovy for weight loss. We are therefore offering a discounted price to QuickMD patients for less than half the cost of the Ozempic cash price at the pharmacy.

If we cannot help you, the visit is free and you can request a refund here.

Ozempic and Wegovy are new medications under patent and are therefore not yet available as a cheaper generic. And like most weight loss strategies (apart from dieting and excercising) are quite expensive. Some insurances may cover it, but most do not.

Both Ozempic and Wegovy contain the exact same medication called semaglutide. Wegovy pens can only be used once. Ozempic pens on the other side tend to have a higher dose and the injected amount can be adjusted and the pen can be used to inject multiple doses. This makes Ozempic genenrally more affordable. 

While both medications contain the same ingredients, only Wegovy has been officially approved by the FDA for weight loss. Yet, for cost reasons, oftentimes Ozempic is prescribed instead.

The cost of Wegovy is currently around 350 dollars per injection with a pharmacy coupon

Ozempic is somewhat cheaper, at around half the price of Wegovy. We can offer Ozempic for less than half of the GoodRx coupon price due to bulk orders with the manufacturer as part of our ‘Weight Loss Plus’ service ($429 for a 2mg or 4mg Ozempic pen with about 4 weeks worth of medication, depending on the dose).

‘Weight Loss Plus’ is a service that includes the consultation and the price of Ozempic–without subscription.
Both Ozempic and Wegovy are new medications that are unfortunately quite expensive, and cost-prohibitive for many and insurances generally do not cover these medications for weight loss. 

Due to our high volume of patients we were to source this brand-medication (Ozempic) and have it shipped to your home for less than half the price of the lowest GoodRx price at local pharmacies. This premium service includes the consultation, the prescription and the cost of the medication (one Ozempic pen, 2 mg or 4 mg) which lasts most patients approximately 4-6 weeks.

Note that Ozempic and Wegovy both contain the exact same medication called semaglutide, and both are made by the same company, and you will receive the brand medication made by Novo Nordisk.

The shipping time is approximately 7 business days via FedEx. As an additional service to our patients the Ozempic pen(s) will be mailed out in a cooled package. Please note that the medication will not be affected if the ice is melted when the package arrives (the medication may stay at room temperature for up to 4 weeks without cooling and returns for melted ice cannot be accepted). 

If the provider determines that you are not a good candidate for this medication, your visit is free, and you will receive a full refund. ‘Weight Loss Plus’ is provides the Ozempic at a steeply discounted price and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

‘Weight Loss Plus’ is a service that includes the consultation, the prescription and the cost of one Ozempic pen (2 mg or 4 mg) at a discounted price, as well as the shipping cost of the pen to your preferred delivery address.

The processing time after your consultation is 1-2 days, and the shipping time is an additional ~5-7 business days via FedEx.

Once the medication has been shipped to the address indicated in your intake form, it cannot be returned, and no refund can be issued as we cannot re-use returned medications. If the wrong or incomplete address is provided, and the medication is returned as a result no refund can be provided, as the medication will be discarded by the pharmacy.

Generally, the medication has to be started at a lower dose to prevent side effects. The starting dose is generally 0.25 mg weekly. Every 4-6 weeks the dose can be increased–depending on how the next higher dose is tolerated–until the desired weight loss effect is reached. 

The optimal dose to obtain the desired weight-loss effect and minimize side-effects is generally around 1 mg per week. Only few patients need higher doses. 

Note that the Ozempic pen contains multiple doses inside (e.g. the 2 mg Ozempic pen has 8 doses of 0.25 mg, the 4 mg pen has 4 doses of 2 mg).

Shortly after your visit with our weight loss team, we will send an electronic prescription to your pharmacy of choice–generally this transmission is instant. Once received, most pharmacies will take roughly 2 hours to process the prescription and associate it with your pharmacy patient profile.

There is currently a Wegovy shortage; Ozempic tends to be more readily available at pharmacies. Some pharmacies are also backordered on Ozempic. We are therefor working with a pharmacy partner that has Ozempic in stock is able to ship this to QuickMD patients at a steep discount of more than 50% as part of the QuickMD ‘Weight Loss Plus’ package. (No subscription)

Please note that we are unable to verify beforehand which pharmacies have the medication in stock and which ones would have to order it.

Absolutely! This medication is meant to aid traditional weight-loss efforts like dieting and excercise and should be taken in addition to a calory deficit diet and regular exercising. Please note, that dieting and excercising are always preferred for weight loss over taking medications. 

However, the reason this medication may still significantly benefit overweight patients who haved tried dieting and excercising is the fact that obesity has such harmful effects on the human body in the long-run.

Generally Ozempic/Wegovy is tolerated well by most of our patients. However, any medication can cause side effects and depends on each individual. For a complete list of possible side effects, please visit the manufacturer’s homepage. 

The process is simple: start by creating an account, then choose your preferred plan: Weight Loss Plus or Weight Loss Basic.
