How to Administer GLP-1 Medication
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Henry work?
Henry is designed to be more than a telehealth platform, but still simple for our patients. You can start treatment in three easy-steps. 1) Complete a medical intake and (if necessary) have lab work done to verify a medical need for treatment. 2) Speak to your new healthcare provider through a telehealth (audio-visual) appointment. 3) If medically appropriate, receive your medication in the mail every 30-days, or 60-days, or 90-days from a mail order pharmacy provider (depending on your provider’s decision). We want to enable you to form a long-term connection with Henry so that we can provide ongoing care for your specific condition. With that in mind, Henry is designed for patients seeking long-term care.
How much does Henry Cost?
It’s only $297 per month for compounded semaglutide, and $149 per month for compounded liraglutide. That includes everything you need, from your online appointment to your medication. Multi-month pricing options may offer discounts but require a commitment to the selected term. If you want to have your order filled at a local pharmacy instead of through Henry Meds’ network, please note that the local pharmacy may not honor the low price. Most patients save over $1,000 per month by filling their order with Henry Meds.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel any time in your customer account or by contacting our support team. Canceling before your contract term has ended will require payment of your remaining contract balance. Patients who are unable to continue the multi-month pricing program due to health-related issues, as determined by a healthcare provider, may cancel their commitment without incurring further charges. Contact our support team to learn more.
Is this real medication?
Yes, all medications are made in a State Board of Pharmacy licensed 503(A) compounding pharmacy, or 503(B) Outsourcing Facility. We work with pharmacies licensed in all 50 states using only the highest-quality ingredients. Medically approved clients are typically offered prescription (Liraglutide/Cyanocobalamin) or (Semaglutide/Cyanocobalamin) injections. These are slowly absorbed by the body over a day or week to help reduce appetite and cravings.
How much weight will I lose?
Actual weight lost is dependent on a number of factors but many Henry Meds patients lose around 5% of their initial body weight. Over 12 weeks, it can be as high as 10%. This equates to a weight loss of 10–20 pounds for a 200 pound person. Everyone is different though and the most successful patients also work hard to make diet and lifestyle changes. Healthy weight loss is often defined as 1-2lbs per week. Extreme weight loss is not a medically desired effect.
How soon will I receive my medication?
After your provider has prescribed a GLP-1 Medication, or another weight loss option, we send your prescription to a licensed compounding pharmacy. It typically takes 3-4 business days for the pharmacy to process the order which is then shipped via 2-Day shipping. Overall, most patients receive their medication within 8-10 business days from when they speak to their provider. Please note, patients in California may experienced increased fulfillment time due to additional compound testing requirements.
How do I inject my medication?
Please see the above video about performing a subcutaneous injection. Always ask your provider or licensed medical professional if you have any difficulties or questions.
What is the age range for treatment?
Patients seeking treatment for GLP-1 programs need to be at least 18 years of age and no older than 80.
