It covers your medical history, current medications, weight history, and treatment goals. There are no video calls required in most states — the entire process is asynchronous, meaning you complete it at your own pace and a provider reviews it independently.</p> <p>You are not charged at this stage. No payment is collected until a provider reviews your intake and approves treatment.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Step 2: Provider review by Wasef Health, PC</h2> <p>All clinical decisions at Ondra Health are made by licensed providers at <a href="https://ondra.health/glp1-reference#wasef-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasef Health, PC</a> — an independent medical practice led by board-certified physicians. Ondra Health connects you with these providers; it does not prescribe medication itself.</p> <p>A provider reviews your intake and determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate based on your individual profile. If approved, they issue a prescription with your starting dose and titration schedule. If more information is needed, they may follow up via secure message. Typical review time is under 24 hours.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">What providers evaluate</p> <p>Your medical history and current medications, BMI and weight-related comorbidities, any contraindications (personal or family history of thyroid cancer, MEN2 syndrome, or pancreatitis), and whether a compounded GLP-1 prescription is clinically appropriate for you.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Step 3: Pharmacy fulfillment</h2> <p>Once approved, your prescription is routed to one of Ondra's named, state-licensed compounding pharmacies based on your state of residence, the medication prescribed, and formulation preference.</p> <p>Ondra works with five pharmacy partners:</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Ondra Health pharmacy partners</p> <p><strong>Hallandale Pharmacy (503A)</strong> — Semaglutide + Tirzepatide, no additives.</p> <p><strong>Boudreaux's New Drug Store (503A)</strong> — Semaglutide + Tirzepatide, with Glycine.</p> <p><strong>Vials RX (503A)</strong> — Semaglutide + Tirzepatide, with B12 and Glycine.</p> <p><strong>White Label / Nova Pharmacy (503A + 503B)</strong> — Tirzepatide only. Not available in CA or PR.</p> <p><strong>Apothecary Pharma (503B)</strong> — Tirzepatide only, no additives.</p> <p>Availability varies by state and is subject to change. Check the <a href="https://ondra.health/service-areas">state availability finder</a> for current information.</p> </div> <p>You can check which pharmacies serve your state using our <a href="https://ondra.health/service-areas">state availability finder</a> before you start your intake. Shipping is free and medication typically arrives within 2–3 business days of approval.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Step 4: Dosing and titration</h2> <p>GLP-1 medications are started at a low dose and increased gradually over weeks or months — a process called titration. Your provider sets your starting dose and titration schedule based on your individual profile.</p> <p>For <strong>semaglutide</strong>, the typical starting dose is 0.25mg weekly, titrating toward a maintenance dose of up to 2.4mg. For <strong>tirzepatide</strong>, starting doses typically begin at 2.5mg weekly, titrating toward 10–15mg.</p> <p>At Ondra Health, <strong>pricing is flat across all dose levels</strong>. Your cost does not increase as your dose increases.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Step 5: Ongoing care and refills</h2> <p>After your initial prescription, ongoing care is managed through secure messaging with your Wasef Health provider. You can ask questions, request dose adjustments, or flag side effects at any time. Refills are processed through the same pharmacy that filled your initial prescription.</p> <p>Ondra Health is not a set-and-forget program. The goal is for your provider to be available throughout your treatment — not just at the point of initial approval.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>What Ondra Health does not do</h2> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Important clarifications</p> <p>Ondra Health does not prescribe medication directly — all prescriptions are issued by licensed providers at Wasef Health, PC.
