Frequently asked
questions.

Complete the secure online questionnaire. One of our doctors reviews your answers and calls you for your consult after you pay the $50 consultation fee. If treatment is right for you, you are approved, you receive a secure invoice for your medication, and it ships from a licensed Florida pharmacy.

Right now, Raw MD Health sees patients who are physically in Florida at the time of their visit. If you live elsewhere, we can't treat you yet.

No. Treatment is prescribed only if our doctor decides it's safe and right for you after your evaluation. If it isn't, you won't be prescribed anything.

Not necessarily. Tell us your medication and dose on the questionnaire, and our doctor will review it and decide where to start.

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Brand-name options are FDA-approved. Our doctor will explain which one is recommended and why.

Many side effects are mild and can be managed at home, and we'll walk you through what to expect. If you have severe symptoms, such as trouble breathing, severe or constant stomach pain, or fainting, call 911 or go to the nearest ER, because we're a remote practice and can't provide emergency care.

GLP-1 medications work on the hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. Many people feel full sooner and for longer, notice fewer cravings and find portion control easier. That makes it simpler to build eating habits you can keep.

Nausea is the most common side effect, and it is usually mild and eases with time. Eating smaller meals, eating slowly, stopping when you feel full, avoiding greasy or fried food and staying hydrated all help. Tell us if nausea doesn't improve, if you can't keep food or fluids down, or if you have severe stomach pain. Our doctor can adjust your plan.

Some muscle loss can happen when people eat too little protein or don't strength train, but it is largely preventable. Eat enough protein every day, strength train a few times a week, avoid crash dieting and aim for steady loss. Our calories and protein calculator can give you a starting range.

Yes. Once your medication is prescribed and filled, it ships directly to you in secure packaging.

See the tirzepatide and semaglutide pages. Tirzepatide starts at $299 per 4 weeks and semaglutide at $199. Your price changes only when your dose does, and shipping and supplies are included.

The consultation fee is a one-time $50, paid when you book your call. It pays for your doctor's time and is not refunded, including if you are not approved. Your next two refill reviews are free, and after that a follow-up consult is $50 every 3 months. If you are not approved, you owe nothing further. You pay for medication only after you are approved.
