Remedy Meds Weight Loss Treatment

About Remedy Meds

A newer name in the business, Remedy has made a strong start, offering compounded and brand name GLP-1 injections for weight loss, a swift onboarding process and a money back guarantee. Similar to other GLP-1 telehealth providers, with Remedy, you work with a licensed medical provider in all aspects of your treatment, from the initial prescription to follow-ups, dosage adjustments and management of any side effects. Their platform is easy to use, and access to a member community is included with your subscription for additional support.

Treatment Options & Pricing

Next, we’ll explore the various treatment options that Remedy offers, along with pricing for each.*

Weight Loss Injections

Remedy can prescribe both compounded and brand name GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide. Let’s take a closer look at your options:

• Compounded semaglutide—GLP-1 injections, administered weekly via injections. Pricing is $299 per month, but patients receive a welcome discount, which brings the cost down to $179 for the first month.
• Compounded tirzepatide—Remedy lists their tirzepatide as an “advanced option” (more on how it works in the next section), but it is available to first-time subscribers. Tirzepatide is a weekly injection via injections and costs $399 per month. Remedy also offers a welcome discount on this drug, which makes the first month price just $279.
• Brand name injections—Ozempic® and Zepbound® are available through Remedy as well, although they are not listed as an option during intake, nor is pricing available (although it’s safe to say that these medications are significantly more expensive than the compounded versions). If you prefer one of these options, you will need to discuss pricing and availability with your clinician during intake.

Beyond the medication, Remedy’s clinicians go the extra step of personalizing plans that maximize results and reduce the side effects of GLP-1s:

• Titrated to reduce nausea
• Designed to reduce muscle loss
• Optimized to counteract fatigue
• Calibrated to prevent poor sleep

Unlike other brands that lock you into multiple months at a time, Remedy operates on a month-to-month basis, giving you the flexibility to cancel anytime. Keep in mind that when you sign up with Remedy, you are agreeing to an auto-pay subscription, which means that your prescription will be charged and shipped monthly, unless you cancel before the next processing date.

How it Works

If you’re new to telehealth platforms or subscription GLP-1 services, you may be wondering how the process works. Here’s what you need to know about getting started with Remedy, including what you get with your subscription and how the medications actually work:

Getting Started

Remedy has a fairly simple process for signing up and getting connected with a clinician. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Intake form: Complete an online questionnaire detailing your health history, current medical and personal information, and your weight loss goals. 
2. Clinician review: A medical provider will review your intake information to determine if you’re a candidate for GLP-1s.
3. Personalized plan: Meet with a clinician one-on-one via video call to confirm which medication is right for you, and receive a personalized treatment plan.
4. Get started: If approved, your medication is shipped to you within 72 hours in discreet packaging; no pharmacy visits or waiting rooms required.
5. Ongoing support: Monthly refills are sent promptly so you never run out. Take advantage of unlimited video and phone calls with a medical provider, as well as the member community for additional support.

Mechanism of Action

This scientific term describes how a medication actually functions in the body. Remedy prescribes both semaglutide and tirzepatide. Here’s how these drugs work to promote weight loss:

• Semaglutide: Mimics the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which regulates blood sugar and appetite. It promotes weight loss by signaling the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, and slows gastric emptying (aka digestion and nutrient absorption in the intestines) to keep food in the stomach longer.
• Tirzepatide: The reason Remedy considers this an “advanced option” is due to it being a dual-functioning drug (GIP and GLP-1), whereas semaglutide only targets GLP-1. This dual-action approach often resulted in better weight loss and greater blood sugar reduction in clinical trials. Tirzepatide works by helping to regulate blood sugar, slowing gastric emptying and signaling the brain to decrease hunger and cravings.

Bottom Line: Why We Love It

Remedy is a straightforward approach to GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Here’s who we think this subscription service may be best for:

• Those looking specifically for semaglutide or tirzepatide injections. Remedy doesn’t offer as many options as some other telehealth providers, but this selection is sufficient for a majority of users.
• Those who prefer video or phone interactions. Most competitors only offer messaging to connect with a clinician, which is great for many people, but leaves others hanging who prefer a different way to get in touch.
• Those who are skeptical and would benefit from having a money back guarantee. Remedy is one of the only providers to offer a weight loss warranty that guarantees the satisfaction of their customers.

We also love that Remedy GLP-1 subscriptions are eligible for FSA and HSA reimbursement, offering even more cost savings for folks who have these plans.

Overall, Remedy is a solid option. They stand out for their all-inclusive pricing, with no hidden fees or memberships required. They also offer a discount on your first month, providing a reason for first-timers to choose Remedy over other options when getting started.
