ShedRX

Here’s how patients can sign up for the weight loss medication program with ShedRx:

• Initial Sign-Up Form: The process begins with an initial sign-up form to quickly check whether you qualify for the medication. You’ll be asked to enter your current and desired weight in pounds. Next, you’ll be asked to indicate your state. This ensures that a state-licensed provider is available and medication can be dispatched to your state. Then, you must type in your name and contact details, including email and phone number. You’ll be asked to create a password to complete the signup process and register your account.
• Medical Intake Form: You can log in and complete the medical intake form, which asks about your height, weight, and any health conditions you may have. You’ll pay the initial consultation fee and submit the information for review.
  Provider Review: A licensed provider will review the information you entered into the form and decide whether you qualify for the GLP-1 injection weight loss program. They will also specify the dosage and any other supplements they see fit. Most people are initially offered the standard plan, but they can choose to sign up for the VIP plan.
• Subscription Starts/Medication Delivered: Once you’ve accepted and paid for the subscription, your medication will be delivered to the provided address within 5 to 10 days. It will also include tools and injection instructions. You can cancel the subscription at any time.

ShedRx doesn’t make any claims specific to its medications. However, it cites research on Wegovy and Zepbound that confirms the efficacy of these drugs for weight loss. According to the study published in Obesity Science and Practice, on average, a person can lose 20% of their body weight in a year with semaglutide or tirzepatide.

While these medications are effective, they do carry the risk of side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, headaches, nausea, and constipation. The ShedRx healthcare provider informs the patient of the potential side effects, especially considering any existing health condition they may have.

ShedRx also offers a health coaching service to help people implement healthy lifestyle changes to complement their medication course. This additional program is not included in the standard medication subscription and costs an extra $64.99 per month. You get one-on-one coaching sessions with text support, nutrition plans, and learning resources.

The platform is user-friendly with a simple interface. Managing your subscription plan is easy and quick. You can get in touch with the ShedRx care team through your account. Unlike other similar telehealth platforms, ShedRx is only web-based and offers no mobile apps.

ShedRx only provides provider follow-ups and weight tracking as part of the subscription. Once you terminate your subscription, you won’t be able to get these support options. The ShedRx healthcare provider can guide you on switching to the maintenance plan and getting off the medication.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are generally considered safe, but there may be side effects in some cases.
