What if side effects occur?
Your safety is our priority. DrBrainRx offers complimentary follow-up consultations to monitor your progress and support you throughout your weight loss journey. If you experience any side effects, reach out to our medical team immediately for guidance and care.
Do I need to make changes to my diet?
We promote a sustainable and flexible approach to nutrition. While the medication helps reduce appetite and “food noise,” we encourage a nourishing, high-protein diet without strict restrictions or calorie counting. Most patients see progress without the need for overly restrictive eating plans.
Do you prescribe microdoses?
Yes, we do! Most of our patients are on customized doses. If you don't have weight to lose you may benefit from the powerful anti-inflammatory benefits of a microdose of GLP1 medication.
I only need to lose 5-10 pounds. Is this ok for me?
Inclusivity is one of our values and we do not turn away people who are interested in using GLP1s as help to lose only a few pounds and it can be very effective for those interested in this.
How do I get started?
Purchase either an insurance check or get started on a compound medication of your choice. If you need help deciding or have questions, you can book a free telehealth visit with one of our weight loss consultants.
When does Dr. Sara prescribe me?
Dr. Sara will review your chart notes after you have your paperwork and payment in. Once you are a registered patient with DrBrainRx the doctor will have access to your full chart notes and history to prescribe the right medication for you.
How soon can I get medication?
For branded medication, you can expect your prescription written within 24 hours (excluding weekends). Without insurance or for compounded medication, shipments take about 1 week to arrive (5-7 business days).
