GLP-1 Weight Management Care
Personalized Care From Home
If you’ve been exploring GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, you’re not alone. These medications have helped many patients improve weight management, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic health.
At Oregon Telemed, we offer a safety-focused, provider-guided approach to GLP-1 care with personalized treatment plans and convenient virtual visits.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 medications are used as part of a broader, medically guided approach to weight management and metabolic health.
semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite, fullness, digestion, and blood sugar regulation.
These medications may help support:
- Appetite regulation
- Feeling full sooner
- Reduced cravings or food noise
- Blood sugar regulation
- Long-term weight management when combined with healthy lifestyle changes
GLP-1 medications are not a quick fix or a standalone solution. They work best as part of a plan that includes nutrition, hydration, movement, follow-up, and realistic long-term expectations.
Our Sublingual Approach
An Alternative to Weekly Injections
Oregon Telemed’s program focuses on compounded sublingual semaglutide or tirzepatide, when prescribed.
Sublingual medication is taken by mouth rather than by injection. Your provider and pharmacist will give you specific instructions for how to take your medication, how often to take it, and what to do if you experience side effects or have questions.
This approach may be considered for patients who:
- Are interested in a non-injection option
- Prefer a gradual, adjustable medication plan
- Want provider-guided care with pharmacy support
- Are looking for a self-pay option with clear monthly pricing
Your provider will determine whether sublingual semaglutide is appropriate based on your health history and individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get GLP-1 medication through Oregon Telemed?
Possibly. A provider must first review your health history and determine whether GLP-1 treatment is appropriate for you. Medication is not guaranteed and is prescribed only when clinically appropriate.
How much does the program cost?
The first month average is $325 and includes your telemedicine visit, provider evaluation, standard sublingual semaglutide medication if prescribed, and access to Broadway Apothecary pharmacist support through Broadway InTouch.
Ongoing monthly care is $275/month and includes continued telemedicine visits, medication and pharmacy support.
Is medication included in the price?
Yes. The bundled program includes the standard sublingual semaglutide medication plan if prescribed. If your provider determines that a different plan, additional evaluation, or labs are needed, they will explain next steps before moving forward.
Is this covered by insurance?
This GLP-1 weight management program is designed as a self-pay bundled option. Insurance coverage for weight management medications varies widely and may depend on your plan, diagnosis, medication, and pharmacy benefits.
What does sublingual mean?
Sublingual means the medication is taken by mouth rather than by injection. Your provider and pharmacist will give you specific instructions for your prescription.
Are compounded medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.
Compounded medication may be appropriate for some patients when prescribed by a licensed provider and prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy.
Do I need labs?
Some patients may need recent labs before starting or continuing treatment. Your provider will let you know what is needed based on your health history, current medications, and risk factors.
What side effects are possible?
GLP-1 medications can cause side effects, most commonly nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, abdominal discomfort, reflux, reduced appetite, or dehydration. Some side effects can be more serious.
Your provider and pharmacist will review what to watch for, how to take your medication, and when to seek medical care.
How quickly will I lose weight?
Results vary. Weight management treatment depends on many factors, including your health history, medication response, nutrition, hydration, activity, sleep, stress, and consistency with the care plan.
This program is designed to support long-term weight management, not rapid or guaranteed weight loss.
Who is not a good fit?
GLP-1 treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your medical history, medication list, allergies, risk factors, and goals before determining whether treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
