Weight management by Nurx includes an online evaluation by a medical provider licensed in your state, medication prescribed (if medically appropriate) and delivered, regular check-ins, ongoing support from your Nurx provider and care team as well as education and lifestyle support to help you on your weight loss journey.
To start weight management treatment with Nurx, visit the Nurx website or download the Nurx app and fill out a comprehensive online intake, detailing your health history. A trained and licensed member of our medical team will evaluate your health profile and ask any follow up questions in order to confirm that we can safely and appropriately treat you via telehealth. If so, your provider will create a personalized weight management treatment plan that may include injections or oral medications. For best results, we recommend combining your prescribed treatment with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. If you’re not currently active, it’s a good idea to double check with your primary care provider to ensure that it’s safe for you to begin treatment.
Depending on the medication prescribed, our pharmacy or partner pharmacy will fill the prescription and mail medication to your home. You may also opt to pick up certain medications at a local pharmacy if preferred.
A Nurx medical provider will check in with you about two weeks after treatment begins and ask you questions about how treatment is working and any side effects you may be experiencing. The Nurx provider will provide any support needed and may adjust the treatment plan as necessary. They can also prescribe certain medications to manage side effects if appropriate. In addition, patients may reach out to our medical team at any time with questions or to request a prescription change.
