The legal route, step by step
- 1. Online intake. Complete a medical questionnaire (weight history, conditions, medications) on a licensed telehealth provider.
- 2. Clinical review. A licensed clinician reviews your intake and decides whether Wegovy is appropriate. This is required — no legitimate service skips it.
- 3. Prescription + fulfillment. If approved, the prescription goes to a pharmacy or ships to you. Cash-pay is fastest (24-72h); insurance adds prior-authorization time.
- 4. Follow-up. Ongoing check-ins for dose titration and side-effect management.
Avoid these
- Any site selling Wegovy without a prescription — illegal and high counterfeit risk.
- "Research" semaglutide/tirzepatide sold "not for human use" — unregulated, frequently contaminated.
- Overseas mail-order without a verified pharmacy — see our cross-border risk guide.

Avoid any site that sells Wegovy without a prescription — those are illegal and frequently counterfeit.

Is it safe to buy Wegovy online?
Only through a licensed pharmacy with a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. Sites offering Wegovy or "research" semaglutide/tirzepatide without a prescription are illegal and carry serious counterfeit risk. A legitimate telehealth provider always requires a clinical evaluation first.
