What is the MinuteClinic® Weight-Loss Program?
The MinuteClinic Weight-Loss Program is designed to give you the right tools and support to help you achieve your health and weight-loss goals.
MinuteClinic providers are trained to check your physical health, review your lifestyle, set realistic goals and prescribe weight-loss medication when appropriate.*
Weight-loss program consultation
During your weight-loss consultation, your MinuteClinic® provider will review your past medical history including current medical conditions, medications, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diet, lifestyle and weight-loss goals. The provider will then determine if you are eligible for weight-loss medication and provide a personalized weight-loss plan for you.
Weight-loss medications
GLP-1 agonist medications mimic the effects of a natural hormone that tells your body to make more insulin which lowers your blood sugar, potentially increasing the feeling of fullness and can contribute to weight loss.
A MinuteClinic® board-certified provider can prescribe weight-loss medications virtually or at an in-person visit. Your provider will evaluate your overall health including a physical exam and will review your past medical history, current medications, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are a candidate for weight-loss drugs.
If eligible, MinuteClinic® providers will determine the best weight-loss medications for you. MinuteClinic providers can prescribe oral or injectable FDA approved weight-loss medications including Orlistat, Semaglutide, Saxenda and Tirzepatide. FDA approved medications ensure safety, efficacy and rigorous quality standards that give our providers and patients the confidence they need.
The actual cost you pay for Semaglutide, or any other weight-loss drug, depends on your insurance coverage and if you are eligible for any discount programs.
Maintaining weight loss
If you are prescribed a weight-loss medication, board-certified providers will continue to evaluate you and may slowly adjust the dose about every four weeks to find the right dose that works best for you. Once your provider determines that the dose is right for you, it is recommend to schedule a visit once every three months.
Additional nutritional counseling, monitoring and injection training is also available in between your appointments.
In a follow-up visit, board-certified providers will continue to review your health status, lifestyle and weight loss to make sure you stay on track and your health needs are met.
