Telehealth weight loss safety checklist
Use this checklist before sharing health data or paying. A careful program can explain each role, show verifiable licenses, and separate the evaluation from medication.
1. License for your location
Confirm who reviews and prescribes, and where that professional can treat. Availability should be checked before any decision.
2. Real medical history
The evaluation should review diagnoses, medications, allergies, contraindications, symptoms, and goals. A form can help but does not replace clinical judgment.

Care starts with a $119 review of your history and contraindications by Dr. Anjmun Sharma, MD. If a prescription is appropriate, we name the dispensing pharmacy so you can verify its license before fulfillment, and we say plainly that compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved, not brand-identical, and that results vary.

A prescription should not be guaranteed before review. A 503A preparation, if appropriate, is tied to an identified patient and dispensed by the pharmacy.
4. Verifiable pharmacy
Ask for the legal name and check the license and public discipline. The clinic does not manufacture or dispense the preparation.
5. Accessible follow-up
Know who answers questions, how to report side effects, when the plan is reviewed, and which symptoms require urgent care.
6. Separate pricing
Get the evaluation, medication, follow-up, renewals, and cancellation in writing. If care is available, the published medical evaluation is $119 and medication is separate.
7. Privacy and responsible claims
Review how health data is protected. Pause at guaranteed outcomes, brand-equivalence claims, or access to medication without a valid evaluation and prescription.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most important checklist item?
A professional licensed for your location must review the case and be responsible for the clinical decision. A purely automated approval does not replace that review.
How do I verify a program's pharmacy?
Ask for the legal name, confirm the state license, and review public discipline. Ask what documentation accompanies the exact prescription because practices vary.
Are compounded weight-loss drugs FDA-approved?
No. They are not FDA-approved, not brand-identical, and results vary by individual.
Which costs should I see before paying?
The evaluation, medication, follow-up, renewal, and cancellation should be explained separately. Availability depends on location and pharmacy coverage.
Why does follow-up matter?
It allows review of side effects, response, health changes, and goals. There should be a clear path for questions and urgent symptoms.
