What does this actually cost? What's included in the monthly price?
Starting at $149/month, all-inclusive. This covers your doctor visit, personalized plan, medication (when approved), shipping, and ongoing support. No hidden fees or surprise charges – just one monthly price for everything you need.
Is this safe? How do I know you're legitimate and not just another online scam?
RxION is a real medical service with licensed U.S. doctors who follow strict safety rules. Your medications come from licensed U.S. pharmacies, not sketchy overseas sources. We're HIPAA-compliant and transparent about our process – unlike scam sites that hide their doctors or pharmacy sources. Clinical studies show GLP-1 medications have an established safety profile with no unexpected safety issues when prescribed properly by medical professionals.^[1,2]
What are the side effects and how will you help me manage them?
Your doctor will explain all possible side effects during your visit so you know what to expect. The most common side effects are stomach-related (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and typically happen during the first few weeks as your body adjusts.^[3] You can message your medical provider anytime with concerns, plus our 24/7 chat team is always available. You're never dealing with side effects alone.
Will this actually work for MY specific situation and weight loss goals?
Every person is different, which is why our doctors review your health history and goals to create a plan just for you. Major clinical studies (STEP trials) show that GLP-1 medications help most people lose significant weight when used with medical supervision - averaging 12-16% of body weight over 68 weeks.^[4,5] Our program gives you the best chance for success.
Can I cancel anytime? What if this doesn't work for me?
Yes, you can cancel anytime with no penalties or long-term contracts. If you're not happy with your progress, talk to your doctor first – they can often adjust your treatment to get better results.
How long before I see results and receive my first medication?
Your medication ships within 5-7 days after your doctor visit. Most people start feeling less hungry within a few days and see weight loss within 2-4 weeks.^[7,8] Results build over time as your body responds to treatment, with the most significant weight loss typically occurring in the first 4-5 months.
What makes you different from cheaper options I've seen online?
You get real board-certified doctors (not just nurses), ongoing medical supervision, FDA-approved medications from licensed U.S. pharmacies, and real support throughout your journey. The FDA has warned about safety risks with cheaper, unregulated compounded versions that can have dosing errors and quality issues.^[6] Cheaper options often cut corners on safety and support, which can cost you more in the long run.
How does the RxION weight loss program work?
Our program connects you with licensed medical providers who assess your health and prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide if appropriate. GLP-1 medications work by mimicking natural hormones that reduce appetite and slow digestion, leading to natural weight loss.^[9] You'll complete a quick intake form, have a virtual consultation, and receive your prescription delivered straight to your door.
Do I need a prescription before signing up?
No, you don't need a prior prescription. Our licensed providers will evaluate your health during your consultation and determine if a GLP-1 medication is right for you based on established medical criteria.
What exactly are the eligibility requirements? Will I qualify?
You typically need a BMI of 30+ or BMI of 27+ with health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes. These are the same criteria used in major clinical studies that proved GLP-1 medications work safely.^[4,5] Your doctor will check if you qualify during your consultation by reviewing your complete health picture.
Is the consultation really online?
Yes! Our entire process is 100% virtual. You'll complete your intake form and meet with a licensed provider via telemedicine — no office visits, no waiting rooms, just convenient and expert care from anywhere. Research shows telehealth consultations for GLP-1 prescribing can be as effective as in-person visits when proper medical protocols are followed.^[10]
Are these real, FDA-approved medications or compounded versions?
We provide both FDA-approved brand medications (like Ozempic® and Mounjaro®) and high-quality compounded versions from licensed U.S. pharmacies. Your doctor picks what's best for your specific needs and what's available. When compounded medications are used, they come from accredited pharmacies that meet strict safety standards.
What States do you Service?
RxION currently offers telemedicine services and prescription fulfillment in all 50 US states.
What are the credentials and experience of the board-certified doctors?
Our medical team consists of licensed physicians who are board-certified in relevant specialties and licensed in the states they serve. Board certification means they've met rigorous standards and passed specialized exams in their field.
How often will I actually talk to my doctor for follow-ups?
You'll have regular check-ins with your doctor (usually monthly at first) to track progress and adjust your treatment. Clinical studies show regular medical follow-up improves safety and effectiveness of GLP-1 treatment.^[11] You can also message them anytime through our secure platform for medical questions.
What kind of ongoing support do I get beyond the initial consultation?
You get direct access to your doctor for medical questions, 24/7 chat support for other needs, and helpful resources. This support continues as long as you're in the program. Studies show ongoing medical support improves treatment adherence and results.^[12]
Are these medications proven to work long-term?
Yes, clinical studies show sustained weight loss for up to 2 years with continued treatment.^[13] The STEP 5 trial demonstrated 15.2% weight loss maintained over 104 weeks (2 years) with ongoing semaglutide treatment. However, studies also show people tend to regain weight when stopping the medication, which is why long-term treatment is often recommended.^[14]
How do I learn to give myself injections? Is it difficult or painful?
The injection pens are easy to use with very small needles. We provide step-by-step videos and guides. Most patients say it's much easier than they expected and becomes routine quickly. The needles are very fine and designed to minimize discomfort.
Is my personal health and payment information secure?
Yes, we're HIPAA-compliant with bank-level security. Your health and payment information is encrypted and protected by strict privacy laws. We follow the same security standards as major hospitals and medical centers.
Who fills my prescription?
All prescriptions through RxION are filled and shipped by our licensed pharmacy partner, Pharmacy Hub, located in Miami, Florida. Pharmacy Hub is fully licensed and compliant with all applicable state and federal regulations.
What information do I need to provide before my consultation?
You'll fill out a secure health form about your medical history and weight loss goals. It takes about 10-15 minutes. Sometimes your doctor may ask for recent lab results if needed for your safety assessment.
How quickly can I expect responses when I have questions or concerns?
Urgent medical questions get fast responses. Regular medical questions through our platform typically get answered within 1-2 business days. Our 24/7 chat team responds immediately for non-medical questions like shipping and account issues.
How soon will I see results with GLP-1 medications?
Clinical studies show most people notice reduced appetite within the first week, with meaningful weight loss beginning within 2-4 weeks.^[7,8] Peak weight loss typically occurs between 4-5 months, with studies showing average weight loss of 12-16% of body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes.^[4,5]
What happens if I experience side effects?
Most side effects are mild and temporary, especially gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, which typically improve as your body adjusts to the medication.^[3] Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects during your consultation and provide guidance on managing them. You can contact your medical provider anytime through our platform for clinical concerns.
How does this compare to other weight loss methods?
Clinical studies show GLP-1 medications are significantly more effective than diet and exercise alone. The STEP trials showed 12-16% average weight loss compared to 2-3% with lifestyle changes only.^[4,5] This is also more effective than older weight loss medications, which typically achieve 3-9% weight loss.^[15]
Will insurance cover this?
Our program is designed as a self-pay option, so you don't need insurance coverage. Many insurance plans don't cover weight loss medications, and those that do often have complex requirements and restrictions. Our transparent pricing starting at $149/month gives you predictable costs without insurance hassles.
What lifestyle changes do I need to make?
The medication works best when combined with healthy eating and regular exercise. Clinical studies included lifestyle counseling along with medication.^[4,5] You don't need extreme diet changes – the medication naturally reduces your appetite, making it easier to eat smaller portions and make healthier choices.
Can I stop taking the medication once I reach my goal weight?
Studies show that stopping GLP-1 medication often leads to weight regain.^[14] Most people need to continue treatment long-term to maintain their weight loss. Your doctor will work with you to determine the best long-term plan for maintaining your results.
