Not every medicine fits every person
GLP-1 type medicines are not appropriate for everyone, including people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, and during pregnancy. Your physician reviews your history, current medicines and goals before recommending anything.
What we do not offer
TeleSlim Clinic does not dispense medication and does not offer compounded GLP-1 medications. We prescribe FDA-approved medicines only, sent to your pharmacy.
