Weight loss · FAQ
How are approved weight loss medications shipped?
Short answer
After physician approval, prescribed weight loss medication can be shipped to you by the dispensing pharmacy. Shipping needs depend on the product, and delivery dates are not guaranteed. Expedited shipping is $20. Check your order’s shipping details, and contact the pharmacy if the package is damaged or its condition is unclear.
Weight loss medication is charged only after a licensed physician approves it. The dispensing pharmacy then handles the prescribed order and shipment. Review the shipping details for your specific product rather than assuming that pills and injectable medicines use the same packaging or delivery process. Expedited shipping is $20.
Delivery timing can depend on prescription review, pharmacy processing, product availability, and the carrier. Do not assume expedited shipping removes the time needed for medical review or pharmacy preparation. If you need medication before travel, confirm the expected schedule before placing an order. Keep your delivery address accurate and check any order updates provided.
When the package arrives, read the enclosed instructions before storing or using the medicine. Storage requirements differ by product and formulation. If a shipment is late, damaged, or appears to have been exposed to unsuitable temperatures, contact the dispensing pharmacy for guidance. Do not use a product whose condition is uncertain until the pharmacy has advised you.
