GLP-1 Telehealth Red Flags: 9 Warning Signs You're About to Get Scammed

1. No named pharmacy partner

Legitimate programs publish the name of their 503A or 503B partner. If you can't find it in the FAQ or footer, walk away.

2. No real clinician encounter

Asynchronous intake forms are fine. Zero clinician interaction at any point is not. You should be able to message your prescriber.

3. Prices below $150/mo

Sterile injectable compounding has a real cost floor. Pricing far below market means corner-cutting somewhere.

4. 'Research peptides' language

Anything sold as 'not for human use' is unregulated and bypasses sterility, identity, and potency testing.

5. No cancel-anytime policy

Six-month locked contracts are predatory. Reputable programs let you cancel after any month.

6. No published dosing schedule

You should know up front how the program will titrate you over 4–5 months.

7. Aggressive guarantees

'Lose 50 lb or your money back' is illegal medical marketing. Real clinicians don't promise specific outcomes.

8. Hidden fees

All-in pricing should include the consult, the medication, the syringes/needles, and shipping. Surprise lab fees or 'membership' add-ons are a warning sign.

9. No reviews older than 90 days

If every review is from the last quarter, the brand likely just rebranded — usually to escape a previous reputation.

We currently recommend Medvi, TrimRX, Mochi Health, Ro Body, Hims, and Found. All pass the 9-point checklist. See our full brand directory for individual reviews.
