GLP-1 Medications - Overview
GLP-1 prescription medications (GLP-1 agonists) are medications sometimes prescribed to people who need help with weight loss or to people with diabetes. People who might need a GLP-1 prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe GLP-1 medications online such as GLP-1 agonist drugs and GLP-1 injection medications when appropriate to do so.
What Are GLP-1 Medications Used For?
GLP-1 prescription medications are sometimes prescribed to people who need help with weight loss or to help with glycemic control in diabetes in conjunction with diet and exercise. Examples of drugs that have GLP-1 drugs as a component include the following:
- Dulaglutide (Trulicity)
- Foundayo (Orforglipron)
- Liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)
- Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy)
- Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)
GLP-1 medications are peptide hormones containing 30 amino acids that are produced in the epithelial endocrine L-cells of the intestine and GLP-1 hormone has been found to be released in response to meals. The "GLP-1" in GLP-1 medications stands for glucagon-like peptide-1. GLP-1 medications are thought to work by modulating insulin secretion, gastric emptying and food intake. GLP-1 receptors are thought to be found throughout the body in areas such as the pancreatic beta cells and ducts, gastric mucosa, lungs, heart, kidneys, immune cells, and hypothalamus. Throughout the body, GLP-1 medication agonists may help lower serum glucose levels and regulate metabolism in certain patients.
GLP-1 Medications - Cost and Dosage
Some people may find GLP-1 online medications to be moderately expensive - ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars - when paying out of pocket. Some manufacturers may offer GLP-1 medication coupons and GLP-1 drug prescription savings cards may also help reduce out-of-pocket costs for GLP-1 prescription medications when buying GLP-1 drugs at a pharmacy. Patients may also find insurance will cover some or all costs associated with GLP-1 injection prescription medications although reimbursement patterns are constantly changing.
The GLP-1 medication dosage and regimen used depends on the specific medication being used, the judgement of the prescribing medical provider, and the health needs of the patient. As might be expected, different GLP-1 drugs will require different regimens although most GLP-1 medications need to be injected subcutaneously.
Can I Buy GLP-1 Medication Online?
GLP-1 injection medications require a prescription to be dispensed by a pharmacy in the United States. For this reason, GLP-1 medications OTC (over the counter) are not available and one cannot just buy GLP-1 online. The first step to getting a GLP-1 medication prescription is consulting a licensed medical provider. People who might need a GLP-1 drug prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe GLP-1 medications, including GLP-1 agonist drugs and GLP-1 injection medications, when appropriate to do so.
GLP-1 Drugs and Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications are sometimes prescribed for medical weight loss. GLP-1 medications may help stimulate insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion, reduce food intake, and increase satiety - all of which can contribute to reducing weight. Appetite suppression has also been reported in studies. These effects may also be enhanced due to the widespread distribution of GLP-1 receptors in the areas of the nervous system. The secondary benefits of the effects of GLP-1 drugs may also be improvements in lipotoxicity due to reductions in fat distribution. Data examining obesity in the US observed that, for the first time in more than a decade, obesity decreased in 2023 with a notable decrease in the South - a region that had the highest observed per capital GLP-1 dispensing rate.
Frequently Asked Questions about GLP-1 Medications
What is a GLP-1 medication?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of prescription drugs that mimic or stimulate the GLP-1 hormone naturally produced in the intestine in response to eating. GLP-1 agonists work by stimulating insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing food intake and appetite. These effects can produce significant weight loss in many patients and help control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 receptor agonists include both injectable medications and oral medications.
What is the difference between Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Foundayo?
Ozempic and Wegovy both contain semaglutide - a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes while Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight management. Mounjaro and Zepbound both contain tirzepatide - a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist. Mounjaro is approved for diabetes while Zepbound for weight management. Foundayo (orforglipron) is a small-molecule oral GLP-1 agonist approved for weight management — the only one that can be taken at any time of day without food restrictions.
Is there an oral GLP-1 medication?
Yes. There are now multiple oral GLP-1 options. Foundayo (orforglipron) is a once-daily pill with no food or timing restrictions and is considered the most convenient oral option. Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) is approved for type 2 diabetes and requires specific morning fasting conditions. The oral Wegovy tablet (25 mg semaglutide) is approved for weight management and also requires an empty stomach and 30-minute pre-meal waiting period. Patients who prefer pills over injections now have multiple GLP-1 options.
Are GLP-1 medications covered by Medicare?
Yes — partially. Starting July 1, 2026, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program provides eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to Wegovy and Zepbound for $50/month through December 2027. Ozempic and Mounjaro are covered under Medicare Part D when prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Foundayo is not currently included in the Bridge program. Patients should verify eligibility with their specific Medicare Part D plan.
What are the most common side effects of GLP-1 medications?
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation. These symptoms are most pronounced when starting the medication or during dose increases and usually diminish over time. Other side effects include injection site reactions (for injectable forms), headache, and fatigue. Rare but serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and kidney injury. GLP-1 medications are contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.
Do GLP-1 medications cause muscle loss?
Some muscle loss has been reported alongside fat loss in GLP-1 trials. To minimize this, providers typically recommend adequate protein intake and resistance exercise during treatment. Patients concerned about muscle loss should discuss strategies to reduce the likelihood of it occurring with their medical provider.
Can I get a GLP-1 prescription without visiting a doctor's office?
Yes. Through Push Health, patients who may benefit from a GLP-1 medication can connect with a licensed medical provider online who can evaluate their situation and prescribe GLP-1 medications when appropriate. No in-person office visit is needed and prescriptions will be sent to the pharmacy of the patient's choice.
GLP-1 Medications - Other Uses
GLP-1 medications have shown promise in helping people with a variety of conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and kidney disease related to diabetes. Decreased alcohol consumption has also been observed in rats and is being studied in greater detail.
GLP-1 Medications - Side Effects
GLP-1 prescription medication can cause side effects when used, including nausea, vomiting, and injection site reactions such as pain and swelling. The majority of reported side effects tend to be gastrointestinal in nature although skeletal muscle loss has also been reported. GLP-1 medications should typically not be prescribed when there is a history of certain types of familial endocrine disorders or thyroid cancer. GLP-1 drugs and alcohol should not be used together. Possible risks associated with the use of GLP-1 medications during surgery are also being studied. People with a hypersensitivity or allergy to GLP-1 agonist medications, ingredients in the formulation, or similar medications should not use GLP-1 prescription medication. Before using GLP-1 medications, it is important to discuss potential side effects and other concerns with a qualified medical provider.
