Medical disclaimer

GLP-1 Desk is an independent research desk. We read provider disclosures, drug labeling, and published science, then write it up in language a busy person can use. That work is educational. It is not the practice of medicine, and it is written for a general audience rather than for you specifically.

Nothing you read on this site is medical, clinical, or diagnostic advice, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our scores, comparisons, and articles are a starting point for questions to bring to a professional — not a substitute for one.

Visiting GLP-1 Desk, emailing us, or acting on something we published does not create a physician–patient, pharmacist–patient, or any other professional relationship between you and this site or the people who write it. We are not a pharmacy, a telehealth service, or a prescriber, and we do not provide care of any kind.

Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment, and before acting on anything you read here. Bring your full history, current medications, allergies, and any conditions to that conversation. Never delay seeking care, or disregard advice you have already been given, because of something you read on this site.

Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products. They are prepared by pharmacies and can differ from brand-name products such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound in formulation, strength, ingredients, and oversight. Approved and compounded products alike carry risks, side effects, and contraindications that depend on your individual situation.

Whether any GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you — and at what dose — is a clinical judgment that rests entirely with a licensed prescriber. It is not a decision this site can make, and not one you should make on the strength of our coverage alone.

Outcomes, side effects, timelines, and costs differ from person to person. Any figures, ranges, or experiences we describe are general and illustrative; they are not a prediction or guarantee of what you will experience.

If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency room right away. Do not rely on this site for urgent or emergency needs.

When we name, describe, or score a GLP-1 provider, we are reporting on them — not vouching for the safety, quality, or suitability of their care for you. Any information about third-party providers, products, or services is theirs to stand behind, and any dealings you have are strictly between you and them.

We take accuracy seriously, but medicine and the telehealth market change quickly. We make no warranty that the information here is complete, current, or error-free, and details can go out of date without notice. Confirm anything important — pricing, availability, coverage, or clinical facts — directly with the provider and with your own clinician before you rely on it.
