Safety information
Every prescription is reviewed by a U.S.-licensed clinician who decides whether this medication is appropriate for you. Tell them during your visit if any of the following applies to you or your family.
In rodent studies, semaglutide and tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It is not known whether they cause these tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people. Do not use this medication if you or any of your family have had MTC, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Full GLP-1 safety information →We start people on Wegovy when they want the FDA-approved pen and the reassurance that comes with a name they recognize — Novo Nordisk's exact device, nothing improvised. The part we coach hardest isn't the shot; it's patience through the first weeks, when the dose is deliberately low and the nausea is loudest before it fades. Cost is the honest tradeoff here, and we'll say that to your face rather than bury it. Respect the slow ramp and most people settle in without much drama.

What members say
4.5I love Zappy Health!! They started me on my GLP-1 journey in February of 2024! They helped me when my own doctors wouldn't! I have exceeded my goal weight and have a healthy BMI of 22! I started at 49! Thank you Zappy for all your kindness, and your support. I will be forever grateful.
I do my online survey every month to let them know about my weight loss and I've received my injections every month. Flat rate, no hidden fees, and the cost doesn't increase. This company is great and helps you every step of the way.
I had read many reviews and decided to give Zappy my business. I lost the needed weight and feel so much the better for it. I received all of my medication on time. I do feel this company has a high regard for each client they treat. They deserve the 5-star rating and I highly recommend them.
