What to know about GLP-1s in Illinois

Compounded vs. brand-name

Most online programs prescribe compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, which are significantly cheaper than brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Compounded medications are made by licensed pharmacies but are not identical to the FDA-approved branded products. Learn the differences →

Telehealth regulations

Illinois allows telehealth prescribing for GLP-1 medications. Your prescribing provider must be licensed in Illinois, and the dispensing pharmacy must be able to ship to your state. All programs listed above meet these requirements.

Insurance and payment

These programs are cash-pay — no insurance required. Some accept HSA/FSA funds. If you have insurance that covers GLP-1 medications, a local Illinois doctor may be a better route for brand-name options. GLP-1 without insurance guide →
