Our existing Weight Management Program commences at $299 per month for semaglutide and $449 per month for tirzepatide, requiring a minimum initial subscription of 3 months. This fee covers both your medication and the doctor’s consultation. Prices may vary after each 3-month billing period.

EllieMD currently offers semaglutide and tirzepatide.

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and support long-term weight management.

EllieMD’s healthcare providers might prescribe a custom-made version of semaglutide that includes additional metabolic support ingredients such as Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Carnitine, or similar ones. The specific ingredients included may vary depending on your location and the pharmacy partnered with EllieMD. Therefore, depending on where you live, you may receive different metabolic support ingredients from your local pharmacy.

Semaglutide aids in weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness. It mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone naturally produced by the gut when you eat. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels in the body.

Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved weekly injection used to treat type 2 diabetes. Although its primary purpose is for diabetes management, doctors may prescribe it off-label for weight loss. Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide can aid in weight loss, despite lacking FDA approval specifically for this purpose.

At EllieMD, our healthcare providers may prescribe a customized version of tirzepatide, potentially containing additional metabolic support ingredients. The pharmacy that ships your medication will depend on your state of residence, and each partnered pharmacy may offer its unique blend of metabolic support ingredients. As a result, you may receive different metabolic support ingredients based on your location.

Tirzepatide aids in weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing the feeling of fullness. It mimics the effects of natural hormones in your body, GLP-1 and GIP, which regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Additionally, the medication slows down the emptying of your stomach, helping you feel satisfied sooner and remain full for an extended period.

No, EllieMD does not offer any salt-based form of semaglutide.

Certain pharmacies we collaborate with utilize standard ingredients like sodium dibasic phosphate to stabilize the pH of the formula. However, this does not constitute semaglutide salt; it’s merely an inactive buffering agent. All our partner pharmacies adhere to FDA-approved ingredients that are pharmaceutical-grade and rigorously regulated.

Semaglutide is a medication approved by the FDA for treating type 2 diabetes and helping with long-term weight management. Tirzepatide is also FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes treatment. While it’s mainly used for diabetes, doctors may sometimes prescribe tirzepatide “off-label” to help with weight loss. Even though it hasn’t been officially approved for this purpose by the FDA, studies have shown that tirzepatide can help people lose weight.

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are part of a group of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). They work by acting like a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide goes a step further by also mimicking another hormone called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Research has found that the combined effect of GLP-1 and GIP in tirzepatide is more effective for weight loss compared to semaglutide.
