ONDRA HEALTH

About Us

Ondra Health was built to make accessing treatment feel clear, straightforward, and grounded in real care — not marketing. It's independently owned and operated, combining clinical experience and operational expertise to create a more thoughtful way to navigate GLP-1 treatment.

Why We Built This

This space has become more complicated than it needs to be.

Between inconsistent pricing, unclear information, and platforms that feel more like subscription products than healthcare, it's often difficult to understand what you're actually signing up for.

From a clinical perspective, we've also seen how important it is for treatment to be individualized — not standardized or rushed.

Ondra was built to simplify both sides of that.

What Makes Ondra Different

Our approach is intentionally simple:

  • Transparent, upfront pricing
  • No unnecessary add-ons or bundled services
  • Provider-led care based on your individual health profile
  • Medications fulfilled through state-licensed compounding pharmacies

We focus on removing friction — not adding to it.

How Care Works

Ondra Health is a platform that connects patients with independent, licensed healthcare providers.

All medical evaluations, prescriptions, and treatment decisions are made by those providers. Medications are fulfilled by regulated compounding pharmacies based on your prescription and location.

Our role is to make that process easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to manage.

Care & Communication

Access is only part of the experience — communication matters just as much.

You should be able to ask questions, understand your options, and feel supported throughout your treatment — not left figuring things out on your own.

We've built Ondra to feel more direct, responsive, and transparent than traditional platforms. As we grow, our focus is to maintain that level of clarity and support across every interaction.

Built to Be Clear

Ondra isn't built around trends, branding, or upsells.

It's built to be something you can rely on — clear information, straightforward access, and honest communication from start to finish.

A Note From Us

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Ondra.

If you choose to move forward with us, our goal is to provide a clear, responsive, and high-quality experience — the kind of care and service we would expect ourselves.

You do not need to resubmit a full intake for ongoing treatment.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>How refills work</h2> <p>After your first shipment, refills are managed through your patient portal. Your prescription is set up on a recurring cycle aligned with your treatment plan — your provider determines the appropriate refill cadence based on your dose and vial size. You do not need to resubmit a full health intake for each refill; the provider reviews your ongoing treatment at each refill to confirm continued eligibility and make any necessary adjustments.</p> <p>Refills are sent to the same pharmacy that dispensed your original prescription. Shipping is free and typically arrives within 2–3 business days. If you need to adjust your refill timing — for example, if you are traveling or if your schedule has shifted — message your provider through the portal and they can coordinate accordingly.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">When to request your next refill</p> <p>Do not wait until you have used your last dose to request a refill. Because compounding pharmacies prepare medications to order and shipping takes 2–3 business days, it is good practice to initiate your refill when you have 7–10 days of medication remaining. This ensures continuity without a gap in treatment. A gap of more than one or two missed weekly doses can result in reduced appetite suppression as blood levels fall.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>How dose changes work</h2> <p>GLP-1 medications are titrated — you start at a low dose and increase gradually over weeks or months. This is not optional or a formality; it is clinically important for minimizing side effects and giving your body time to adapt. Your provider sets your initial titration schedule at the point of prescribing, but dose decisions throughout treatment should involve them.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Semaglutide titration — standard schedule</p> <p>Weeks 1–4: 0.25mg weekly. Weeks 5–8: 0.5mg weekly. Weeks 9–12: 1mg weekly. Weeks 13–16: 1.7mg weekly. Week 17+: 2.4mg weekly (maintenance). Your provider may adjust this schedule based on your tolerance and response. Some patients stay at a lower dose longer; some progress faster. Individual schedules vary.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Tirzepatide titration — standard schedule</p> <p>Weeks 1–4: 2.5mg weekly. Weeks 5–8: 5mg weekly. Weeks 9–12: 7.5mg weekly. Weeks 13–16: 10mg weekly. Weeks 17–20: 12.5mg weekly. Week 21+: 15mg weekly (maximum dose). As with semaglutide, your actual titration may differ based on your clinical profile and how you are tolerating each step.</p> </div> <p>To request a dose change — either upward because you are tolerating the current dose well and have been on it for 4+ weeks, or downward because side effects are persistent — send a message to your provider through the patient portal. Describe what you are experiencing, how long you have been on your current dose, and what you are hoping to change. Your provider will review and respond, typically within 24 hours. Your next shipment will reflect the updated dose.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Never self-adjust without provider input</p> <p>Drawing up a higher dose than prescribed, injecting more frequently than weekly, or skipping steps in the titration schedule without provider guidance is not safe. GLP-1 side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) are directly related to dose — escalating too quickly is the most common cause of intolerable side effects and treatment discontinuation. Your provider is there to guide this; use them.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>How to reach your provider</h2> <p>All clinical communication at Ondra Health happens through secure messaging with your provider at <a href="https://ondra.health/blog/who-reviews-your-glp1-intake-ondra-health">Wasef Health, PC</a>. You can send a message at any time through your patient portal at <a href="https://care.ondra.health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">care.ondra.health</a>.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Good reasons to message your provider</p> <p>You have been on the same dose for 4+ weeks and feel ready to titrate up. Side effects are persistent or worsening beyond the typical adjustment period. You are experiencing something unexpected and are not sure if it is medication-related. You want to discuss switching medications (semaglutide to tirzepatide, or vice versa). You need to pause treatment — for surgery, pregnancy planning, or another reason. You have a new medication or health condition that may be relevant to your GLP-1 treatment.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">If something urgent happens</p> <p>For severe, acute symptoms — significant abdominal pain that does not resolve (possible pancreatitis), difficulty breathing, signs of a serious allergic reaction, or anything that feels like a medical emergency — do not wait for a portal message reply. Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Your provider can follow up via secure message once you are safe.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Pricing during ongoing treatment</h2> <p>Ondra Health's pricing is flat across all dose levels. Your monthly cost for compounded semaglutide is the same whether you are on 0.25mg (starter) or 2.4mg (maintenance). The same is true for tirzepatide across the 2.5mg–15mg range. This is a deliberate structural choice — at some GLP-1 platforms, the price increases as your dose increases, meaning you pay more precisely at the point in treatment when you are consuming more medication.</p> <div class="ondra-info-card"> <p class="ondra-info-title">Current pricing (May 2026)</p> <p><strong>Compounded semaglutide:</strong> $113/month (quarterly plan, $339 billed quarterly) or $149/month (monthly plan). <strong>Compounded tirzepatide:</strong> $183/month (quarterly plan, $549 billed quarterly) or $215/month (monthly plan). Pricing is the same at all dose levels. Free shipping included. New patients can use code Ondra50 for first-month savings. Full pricing detail at <a href="https://ondra.health/blog/ondra-health-pricing">ondra.health/blog/ondra-health-pricing</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>What to do if your medication is delayed or damaged</h2> <p>Occasionally, shipments are delayed by carrier issues or arrive with concerns about the packaging or temperature exposure. In either case, contact the Ondra support team via your patient portal immediately. Do not use medication that arrived without cold packaging, that appears damaged, or that you believe may have been exposed to high heat or freezing during transit — see the <a href="https://ondra.health/blog/compounded-semaglutide-storage">storage guide</a> for guidance on evaluating a vial after a temperature excursion. The support team can coordinate replacement shipments through your pharmacy if there is a confirmed issue.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>How to pause or stop treatment</h2> <p>You can pause or stop treatment at any time. Message your provider before stopping if possible — they can advise on whether a gradual taper makes sense for your situation, or whether stopping abruptly is appropriate. See the <a href="https://ondra.health/blog/how-to-taper-off-semaglutide">tapering guide</a> for more detail on what to expect when stopping semaglutide.</p> <p>Stopping treatment typically leads to gradual weight regain — the SURMOUNT-4 trial (Aronne et al., <em>JAMA</em>, 2024) documented that tirzepatide patients who discontinued regained a meaningful portion of lost weight within 52 weeks. This does not mean you cannot stop, but it is worth discussing the transition plan with your provider before discontinuing.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-section"> <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2> <div class="ondra-faq-item"> <h3>How do I request a refill at Ondra Health?</h3> <p>Refills are managed through your patient portal at care.ondra.health. Log in, navigate to your prescription, and request a refill — or message your provider directly if you have questions about timing or your next dose. Refills are fulfilled by the same pharmacy that filled your first prescription and typically ship within 1–2 business days of processing.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-faq-item"> <h3>Can I increase my own dose if I feel ready?</h3> <p>No — dose changes require provider approval. This protects you from escalating too quickly, which is the primary cause of severe GI side effects on GLP-1 medications. Message your provider through the portal, describe your current experience, and they will advise on whether and when a dose increase is appropriate. Most providers are comfortable escalating when you have been on the current dose for 4+ weeks with tolerable side effects.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-faq-item"> <h3>Does my cost increase when my dose increases?</h3> <p>No. Ondra Health's pricing is flat across all dose levels for both semaglutide and tirzepatide. You pay the same monthly rate whether you are at 0.25mg or 2.4mg semaglutide, or at 2.5mg or 15mg tirzepatide. This is not true of all GLP-1 telehealth platforms — some charge more as doses increase.</p> </div> <div class="ondra-faq-item"> <h3>How quickly will my provider respond to a message?</h3> <p>Most messages receive a response within 24 hours on business days. Urgent clinical concerns flagged in your message are prioritized. Ondra Health uses a provider at Wasef Health, PC — not an automated bot or non-clinical support team — for clinical communications. If you have a genuine emergency, do not rely on portal messaging; call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.</p> </div> </div> <p class="ondra-disclaimer">† This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
