Medical Disclaimer
Last Updated: December 22, 2025
This is important information about the nature of our content and its limitations. Please read it carefully.
We Are Not Medical Professionals
We are not doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or licensed healthcare providers. Nothing on this site—including articles, reviews, comparisons, or any other content—is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Our content is educational and informational. Think of it as a starting point for your own research and conversations with qualified healthcare professionals.
GLP-1 Medications Require Medical Supervision
GLP-1 receptor agonists—including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza), and others—are prescription medications. They are not available over the counter.
These medications:
- Require evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider to determine if they're appropriate for you
- May not be safe for everyone (certain medical conditions, medications, or circumstances may make them unsuitable)
- Require ongoing monitoring for side effects, efficacy, and safety
- Should only be started, adjusted, or stopped under medical supervision
We cannot and do not determine whether these medications are right for you. That's a decision only a qualified healthcare provider can make based on your individual health history, current medications, and personal circumstances.
Individual Results Vary
Weight Loss and Metabolic Outcomes
Clinical trials of GLP-1 medications show a range of outcomes. While average weight loss in studies may be 15–20%, individual results vary widely:
- Some people lose more weight than the average
- Some people lose less weight than the average
- Some people experience minimal or no weight loss
- Results depend on factors like genetics, adherence, lifestyle, underlying health conditions, and more
We do not and cannot predict how you will respond to any medication.
Side Effects
Side effects are common with GLP-1 medications, but not everyone experiences them to the same degree:
- Some people tolerate these medications well with minimal side effects
- Some people experience significant side effects that may require dose adjustments or discontinuation
- Side effects often improve over time, but not always
- Your healthcare provider can help you manage side effects and determine whether continuing the medication makes sense
We cannot tell you whether you'll experience side effects or how severe they'll be.
We Don't Replace Your Doctor
What Your Doctor Does (That We Don't)
Your healthcare provider:
- Reviews your complete medical history
- Evaluates your current medications and potential drug interactions
- Assesses whether you have contraindications to GLP-1 medications
- Monitors you for side effects and adjusts treatment as needed
- Provides personalized medical advice based on your unique situation
We do not and cannot do any of these things.
Our Role
Our role is to:
- Summarize publicly available information about GLP-1 medications
- Explain how these medications work in accessible language
- Review telehealth providers and services that offer GLP-1 prescriptions
- Share what clinical research has found (with proper citations)
- Help you understand what questions you might want to ask your doctor
We're a research tool, not a replacement for professional medical care.

One Final Note (In Plain Language)
We care about your health and safety. That's why we're clear about what we are and what we aren't.
We're here to help you understand GLP-1 medications, compare your options, and ask better questions when you talk to your doctor. We're not here to replace that conversation.
If you take nothing else from this disclaimer, take this: talk to your doctor. They know your health history, your current medications, and your individual risk factors. We don't. And that matters.
Stay safe, stay informed, and take care of yourself.
