Weight-loss medication FAQs

GLP‑1 agonist medications can help your body control blood sugar when it’s high, help you feel full longer and contribute to weight loss.

You can receive a prescription for weight-loss medications through MinuteClinic® or any licensed health care provider if it is medically appropriate.

At MinuteClinic®, a provider can prescribe weight-loss medications virtually. Your provider will evaluate your overall health and will review your past medical history, current medications, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are a candidate for weight-loss medication.

If you qualify, they can prescribe FDA approved weight-loss medications in either pill or injectable form.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH/NIDDK), weight‑loss medications are typically considered for adults with the following BMI:*

  • BMI of 30 or higher, or
  • BMI of 27 or higher combined with a weight‑related condition (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or sleep apnea)

Weight-loss medications are prescription-only and should be used alongside lifestyle modifications, not as a standalone strategy.

If eligible, MinuteClinic providers will determine the best weight-loss medications for you. MinuteClinic providers can prescribe oral or injectable FDA approved weight-loss medications, including:

  • Contrave
  • Liraglutide
  • Orlistat
  • Semaglutide
  • Saxenda
  • Tirzepatide

FDA approved medications ensure safety, efficacy and rigorous quality standards that give our providers and patients the confidence they need.

Yes. FDA approved GLP‑1 oral options include:

Yes. Research shows that oral GLP‑1 medications, like oral semaglutide, can produce metabolic results and weight loss similar to injectable GLP‑1s* when taken at effective doses and with good adherence. They work the same way in the body and offer a needle‑free alternative for many people.

Effectiveness depends on:

  • Taking the medication as prescribed 
  • Correct dosing
  • Following medication instructions, which may include timing or food requirements depending on the prescription
  • Lifestyle support

Injectables remain more widely studied for weight loss, but oral options are emerging as equally effective alternatives.

Yes, weight-loss pills are clinically proven to support meaningful weight reduction,* but they are most effective when combined with healthy eating, physical activity and medical supervision.

The actual cost you pay for semaglutide, or any other weight-loss medication, depends on your insurance coverage and if you are eligible for any discount programs.

Maintaining weight loss

If you are prescribed a weight-loss medication, board-certified providers will continue to evaluate you and may slowly adjust the dose about every four weeks to find the right dose that works best for you. Once your provider determines that the dose is right for you, it is recommended to schedule a visit once every three months.

Additional nutritional counseling, monitoring and injection training is also available in between your appointments.

In a follow-up visit, board-certified providers will continue to review your health status, lifestyle and weight loss to make sure you stay on track and your health needs are met.
