Telehealth/Telemedicine Consent

Welcome to our Telehealth/Telemedicine platform. Before proceeding with your exam, it is important to read and understand the following consent information regarding the use of GLP-1 medications for weight management. Your initial consultation will include a discussion of your health history, current medications, and specific goals for treatment. Please note the following important information regarding GLP-1 use and associated risks.
No Guarantee of Results
While our team is committed to providing high-quality care and support for your health goals, it is important to understand that individual results may vary. The effectiveness of GLP-1 medications can depend on various factors, including adherence to treatment, lifestyle, and individual health conditions. There are no guarantees that you will achieve your desired weight loss or health outcomes through the use of GLP-1 medications.
Understanding Obesity and BMI Requirements
Obesity is generally defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. In some cases, individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related health conditions may also be considered for treatment with GLP-1 medications. It is vital to discuss your BMI and health history with your healthcare provider to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria for GLP-1 therapy.
Risks of Self-Injection
Some GLP-1 medications are administered via injection. Self-injection carries certain risks, including but not limited to:
  • Improper administration techniques, which can lead to reduced effectiveness of the medication or injury.
  • There is a potential for infection at the injection site if proper hygienic practices are not followed.
  • Injection site reactions, including redness, swelling, and discomfort.
  • Psychological factors such as anxiety or fear associated with self-injection can impact adherence to the treatment protocol. Before beginning therapy, your provider will ensure you are adequately trained in the self-injection process and address any concerns you may have.
Risks of Compounded Medications

  • While some GLP-1 medications may be available in compounded form, it is important to understand the following risks:
  • Compounded medications may not undergo the same rigorous regulatory oversight as FDAapproved medications, leading to variability in potency, purity, and overall safety.
  • There may be a lack of clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of compounded options, which could affect your treatment outcomes.
  • Potential for allergic reactions or adverse effects that could arise from excipients or non-standard ingredients used in compounded formulations.
We encourage you to discuss any concerns about compounded medications with your healthcare provider.
