How OakMD Works
Common Questions
What safety information should I review?
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide products carry a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents; human relevance is unknown. Contraindications include personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2, and serious hypersensitivity to the product. Other risks include gastrointestinal reactions, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, dehydration-related kidney injury, and hypoglycemia with certain diabetes medicines. Review the full product label and discuss pregnancy, gastroparesis, eye disease, and upcoming anesthesia with a clinician.
Are compounded medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. Brand approval does not extend to a compounded preparation.
Does an intake guarantee a prescription?
No. A clinician reviews your history and determines whether further records, testing, or an in-person evaluation is needed. Listing a brand does not guarantee that it will be prescribed or dispensed.
Ready to Get Started?
Complete a brief online intake. A licensed provider will review your information and determine if treatment is appropriate for you.
Completing an assessment, checkout, payment authorization, or account creation does not guarantee that treatment will be prescribed.
