Frequently Asked Questions
What is GLP Winner?
GLP Winner is a platform that helps patients find and compare weight loss providers for GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, compounded semaglutide, and compounded tirzepatide.
We provide transparent pricing, sourcing information, and reviews for telehealth providers and compounding pharmacies, improving affordable access to these medications.
How does GLP Winner work?
GLP Winner works by aggregating and analyzing data from various telehealth providers and pharmacies.
We collect information on pricing, availability, and patient experiences to help you make informed decisions about your healthcare options.
Our platform uses an algorithm that considers factors like price, user reviews, provider care quality, shipping, and customer service to rank providers.
Does GLP Winner require insurance?
No, GLP Winner does not require insurance to use our platform. We show both insurance and cash prices when available.
Many of our listed providers offer cash pay compounded options, making medications accessible even without insurance coverage.
What do the warning icons on the providers and pharmacies mean?
If you see a warning icon then that means we've heard reports from reddit and other social media of recent issues with the provider or pharmacy.
Please let us know, if you see something that needs changing.
How did you get the pricing? I can't find them on the telehealth provider sites.
It can be tough to find pricing information.
Some providers are transparent with their pricing while others we called or emailed to find this information.
We also stay up to date with pricing, just in case there is a sale or markup.
Does GLP Winner prescribe GLP-1s?
No, GLP Winner does not prescribe medications directly.
We are an independent platform that helps you find and compare legitimate providers who can prescribe GLP-1 medications.
All prescriptions come from licensed healthcare providers through our verified telehealth partners.
What do you do with my email & data?
We keep this information secure and don't share it!
The email is used for verifying submitted reviews. This prevents astroturfing (i.e., illegitimate reviews) that is commonplace on reddit subs.
Also, we never send spam and rarely email you unless there are major price changes that we think you should be made aware of or major updates to glpwinner.
I don't see my provider or pharmacy.
Let us know - don't feel shy!
What does 'regulatory compliance' mean for pharmacies?
Regulatory compliance means that a pharmacy meets all the necessary standards and regulations to ensure
the pharmacy is safe, high-quality, and legal. Here's what it involves:
503A Classification: These are traditional compounding pharmacies making medications tailored to individual prescriptions.
503B Classification: These are larger facilities producing medications in bigger batches, following FDA's strict Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
cGMP: These are the FDA's standards to ensure the quality and safety of pharmacy facilities.
State Licenses: These are the legal permissions a pharmacy needs to operate within a specific state.
PCAB Accreditation: This is a special certification that shows a pharmacy meets the highest standards in compounding medications.
NABP Accreditation: This certification ensures a pharmacy meets high standards for safety, quality, and patient care across all pharmacy services, not just compounding.
ACHC Accreditation: Offers comprehensive accreditation for a range of healthcare services, including pharmacy services, ensuring adherence to high standards of practice.
In short, regulatory compliance ensures that a pharmacy is doing everything right to provide you with a safe manufacturing process.How do I know what pharmacies a provider uses?
If you click on a provider, you'll notice that there is a section of pharmacies that the provider uses. Clicking on the pharmacy will take you to that corresponding pharmacy page.
Some providers aren't upfront about which pharmacies they use, and they can vary by state. You may want to confirm with your provider where your medication will be coming from.
If your pharmacy is missing or you see something wrong, let us know! We would love to have complete information by state and provider.
What is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are versions of GLP-1 medications created by compounding pharmacies.
These medications are prepared in a compounding pharmacy and are not FDA approved.
They offer an alternative option when branded medications are in shortage or need to be customized due to a specific medical need. Learn more about compounding and shortages.
What states can I use GLP Winner in?
GLP Winner is available nationwide in all 50 US states.
However, provider and pharmacy availability may vary by state due to different licensing requirements and regulations.
You can enter your state on our platform to see available options in your area.
