Are Injections the Right Weight Loss Medication for Me?
At Ivím Health, we are dedicated to helping our clients feel their best. As a majority of Americans are overweight or obese, the first step to feeling better could be weight loss. The right weight loss medication can facilitate your weight loss goals.
At Ivím Health, we prescribe patients Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Learn more about whether these medications could be right for you.
What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are categorized as GLP-1 agonists shown to reduce appetite and increase metabolism. Studies indicate that clients can expect a 15% decrease in body weight with Semagltide in 68 weeks or a 22.5% decrease in body weight in 72 weeks with Tirzepatide.
How Do I Take Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
We prescribe Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as injectables. You will need to inject the medicine into your muscles. Injections provide better bioavailability than pills, meaning the medicine will be better absorbed into your bloodstream. Better absorption equals better results. Your medication will come with instructions on how to give yourself intramuscular injections. You can also find a detailed instructional video on our website.
The Process
To get started, you’ll need to create an account with Ivím Health. The first month is free. After that, the cost for your subscription is $74.99/month.
As part of your subscription, you’ll receive:
- Diet/nutrition plan
- Access to medication
- Supplement and progress tracking
- 20% off accessibility programs
As part of the sign-up process, you’ll complete a simple health quiz to teach us more about your health and your wellness goals.
Next, you will need to schedule a brief Telehealth visit with one of our providers. The provider will verify your health information with you to ensure that you are a good candidate for medication. With the prover’s approval, you and your provider will create a personalized treatment plan. After your appointment, you will receive your medication
and access to the Ivím Health app.
After you complete your treatment plan, you will schedule a new appointment with your provider to go over your progress and any changes you might need to make going into your next plan.
Cost
Talk to your insurance provider to see if Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are covered under your policy. If you go through your insurance provider, you will pick up your medication at the pharmacy of your choice. It can take about a week for the prescription to be authorized.
If your insurance does not cover the weight loss medication, you may qualify for one of our accessibility programs. Programs are originally priced at $415/month. However, you can bring the cost down with your Ivím Health membership and buy three months of medication at a time. This can help you save money while also helping you achieve your weight loss goals.
