• Initial Sign-Up Questionnaire: The sign-up process begins with a quick step-by-step questionnaire to check eligibility. You’ll be asked about your state, gender, height, and weight. If, based on your answers, you’re found eligible, you’ll be asked to create an account using your email.
• Medical Intake Form: Once you’ve created your account, you can complete the more detailed intake form with all the required medical information. You may be asked about your weight goals and any health conditions you may have. At this point, you’ll be asked to pay for the first month’s subscription, depending on your preferred medication.
• Response Review: A licensed medical professional reviews your information and determines if the injectable medication is for weight loss. They’ll make the treatment recommendation, including the weekly dosage. If they find you ineligible for any reason, they’ll let you know, and your subscription amount will be fully refunded.
• Medication Delivery: Once you accept the treatment recommendation, the medication is processed and dispatched in a few days. Medication is delivered directly to your door, typically for the entire month.

Brightmeds cites two well-known studies that show the efficacy of semaglutide and tirzepatide in weight loss. A clinical trial with obese participants showed an average weight loss of 20.9% with tirzepatide in 72 weeks. Another 68-week clinical trial with semaglutide showed an average reduction of 14.9% in participant weight.

These studies show the efficacy of the substances used in the compounded formulations available at Brightmeds. The company says that the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide it prepares can lead to approximately 20% weight loss with continued use. However, it hasn’t conducted any trials with compounded medications, likely because they vary in potency, purity, and dosage.

The monthly medication subscription also includes ongoing support from the Brightmeds team and licensed healthcare providers. Subscribers have the option to message their doctors to seek advice. However, there is no face-to-face consultation at the beginning or during the subscription.

The platform is fairly easy to use. However, some features and associated information can be a bit hard to navigate. Users have reported a lack of clarity on policies and refilling prescriptions. Also, the medication pricing isn’t easily accessible on the website. It’s not listed on the product page but on the terms page, making it difficult for potential customers to know the cost upfront.

Brightmeds doesn’t offer any post-treatment support. Any ongoing support from care providers ends when you cancel your subscription. You may speak to the doctor from Brightmeds about post-treatment options to keep the weight off.

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide have shown promise for weight loss in obese individuals and people with conditions that make it hard to shed weight. However, there are side effects like nausea, vomiting, and injection site reactions. Ensure that you disclose any and all medical conditions to the healthcare professional and discuss potential side effects.
