An update on compounded semaglutide

WeightWatchers Clinic is a telehealth medical clinic offering that focuses on weight-loss management using behavior change with effective weight-loss medications. It provides members with ongoing, comprehensive access to a dedicated Care Team including doctors, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and fitness coaches; 1:1 virtual support; an award-winning app; and a supportive community.

The exact medication that your Clinician will prescribe depends on your medical history, biology, and insurance coverage. When appropriate, your Clinician may prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (brand name Wegovy), liraglutide (brand name Saxenda), or tirzepatide (brand name Zepbound). When appropriate, your clinician may prescribe other medications with which other members have found success such as Metformin and combination Naltrexone and Bupropion. If your treatment plan isn’t working for you, talk to your WeightWatchers Clinic Care Team about adjustments or alternative plans.

Please note, some GLP-1 medications are experiencing intermittent nationwide shortages. See which medications are affected on the FDA shortage database.

It depends on your treatment plan. For GLP-1 medications, your medications are not included, but your Care Team will work with you to get your medication covered by insurance and send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy. If insurance covers your medication, you may still be responsible for a copay.

For certain non-GLP-1 medications, the cost of membership will include your estimated medication fee when you choose our preferred mail-order pharmacy.

WeightWatchers Clinic provides access to US-licensed and board-certified providers who have years of clinical experience. WeightWatchers Clinic also works with specialists and leaders in the industry to construct a program that fits each person’s unique biology, behaviors, and preferences.
