Frequently asked questions

DripVitals is a telehealth platform that connects you with licensed clinicians and partner pharmacies for personalized care, including GLP-1 and related treatments when medically appropriate.

Choose a treatment or take our questionnaire, complete a short health profile, and meet with a clinician online if one is required. If prescribed, your medication can ship from a partner pharmacy. Pricing and next steps are shown before you confirm any order.

Drip Vitals is a physician-led telehealth medical clinic for weight loss and wellness. You complete a medical evaluation online, a licensed clinician reviews it and prescribes treatment only when appropriate, and your medication ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy — with ongoing provider support included in every plan.

Four steps: complete a short online medical intake; a licensed clinician evaluates your health history and eligibility; if treatment is appropriate, your prescription is sent to a licensed pharmacy that ships medication to your door; and your care team remains available for dose guidance, side-effect support, and follow-ups throughout treatment.

For most patients, no — the evaluation, prescription, and follow-up care are completed entirely online. Your clinician may request additional information, lab work, or an in-person visit when clinically appropriate, and may determine that telehealth is not suitable for your situation.

Drip Vitals currently serves patients in 26 U.S. states, matching the states where our clinicians hold active medical licenses. Availability expands as licensing does — you'll see whether we can treat you in your state during the online intake.

GLP-1 medications mimic a natural gut hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that reduces appetite, slows stomach emptying so meals keep you full longer, and supports healthy blood sugar. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication; tirzepatide works on GLP-1 plus a second hormone pathway (GIP). Both are weekly prescription injections used alongside diet and exercise.

Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 pathway; tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that activates both GIP and GLP-1 pathways and produced larger average weight loss in clinical trials of the FDA-approved products. Semaglutide has the longer track record and a lower starting price. A licensed clinician can help you weigh the trade-offs for your situation.

That determination is made by your licensed clinician after reviewing your medical history, medications, goals, and any contraindications. The online intake gathers what they need, and you'll see their recommendation — with pricing — before you commit to anything.

Adults with obesity, or overweight with a weight-related health condition, may be candidates when a clinician determines the benefits outweigh the risks. Personal and family history, current medications, and other factors all affect eligibility — and not everyone qualifies. Your clinician makes the final determination.

Yes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription-only medications. Every Drip Vitals treatment requires an evaluation by a licensed clinician, who prescribes only when medically appropriate — and you are never charged for medication unless a prescription is issued.

No. Compounded medications are prepared for individual prescriptions by licensed compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved; the FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. Brand-name products like Wegovy® and Zepbound® are the FDA-approved versions. Your clinician can discuss which path fits your situation.

Prescriptions are filled by licensed U.S. pharmacies — compounded medications by state-licensed compounding pharmacies — and shipped directly to you in discreet, temperature-appropriate packaging. Your pharmacy's information is included with your prescription, and you can contact our care team any time with questions about your medication's source.

Message your care team — dose adjustments, slower titration, or a different treatment may be appropriate, and most digestive side effects are manageable with guidance. Review Important Safety Information before starting. If you experience a severe reaction such as trouble breathing or severe abdominal pain, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Semaglutide plans currently start at $99/month and tirzepatide plans start at $129/month, with the monthly rate depending on the plan length you choose; multi-month plans are billed upfront for the full term. Exact pricing is shown before you confirm anything, and you are not charged for medication unless a clinician prescribes it.

No. Drip Vitals pricing is based on your plan, not your dose — as your clinician titrates your dose up over the course of treatment, your monthly rate stays the same. No dose-based surprises.

Your plan includes the online medical evaluation and provider review, your prescribed medication, injection supplies, free discreet shipping, and ongoing clinical support including dose guidance and follow-ups. Lab work, when your clinician requires it, is not included. You can cancel future renewals at any time.
