Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cora and our weight loss programs.
Getting Started
Cora provides access to prescription weight loss medications through a convenient online process. Complete a brief health questionnaire, then receive a personalized medical evaluation from a board-certified provider — including a live consultation when required for your safety and state regulations. Once approved, your personalized treatment plan and medication ship directly to your door.
Cora is designed for adults with a BMI of 22 or higher with a weight-related condition, or a BMI of 30 or higher. Your provider will review your health history to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.
Getting started is easy: complete our online health questionnaire (takes 5–10 minutes), get reviewed by a board-certified provider within 24 hours, and receive your medication at your door. The entire process is 100% online.
Once you've completed the questionnaire, our network of licensed physicians will review and approve your request within 24 hours. Your medication will then ship discreetly and arrive at your doorstep in 2–5 days.
Your Cora shipment arrives with everything you need to start or continue your GLP-1 treatment safely and conveniently: a compounded medication vial (semaglutide or tirzepatide, clearly labeled with your dose), sterile syringes and needles ready-to-use for subcutaneous injection, alcohol disinfectant pads/wipes for proper site cleaning, and discreet packaging with free expedited shipping (2–3 days to your door). Plus, you get immediate access to our 24/7 patient portal where you can message your provider anytime, request dose adjustments or refills, and track your progress and get support. No hidden fees, no pharmacy runs — just simple, complete care delivered right to you.
Medications
We offer personalized GLP-1 treatments for weight loss, including compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Both are prescribed to support weight loss.
Semaglutide works on GLP-1 receptors, while Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors (dual-action). Your provider will help determine which medication is the best fit for your needs.
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are administered as once-weekly injections using a small needle. We provide detailed instructions and support to make self-injection easy and comfortable.
Weight loss medications work best as part of a long-term treatment plan. Your provider will work with you to determine the right duration based on your goals and progress. Many patients continue treatment for several months to achieve and maintain their target weight.
While GLP-1 medications have high success rates, individual responses vary. Your provider will monitor your progress and may adjust your dosage or switch medications if needed. You can also pause or cancel at any time.
Pricing & Plans
Compounded semaglutide as low as $99/month and compounded tirzepatide as low as $125/month. No hidden fees or membership charges.
Currently, our services are not covered by insurance. Compounded GLP-1 medications are prescribed when a provider determines they are clinically appropriate for you — for example, to provide personalized dosing, accommodate specific patient needs, or when a commercially available product is not suitable. We also offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and accept HSA/FSA payments.
Yes! We offer significant savings when you commit to 3, 6, or 12-month plans. Monthly pricing gives you flexibility, while longer commitments provide the best value for your weight loss journey.
For both our 6-month and 12-month plans, we'll ship your medication every 3 months. This schedule helps maintain the highest quality and freshness of your medication.
Side Effects & Results
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach discomfort, especially when starting or increasing dosage. These typically improve over time. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. We offer Zofran to help with these side effects.
Results vary by individual, but clinical studies show patients can lose 15–22% of their body weight with GLP-1 medications when combined with lifestyle changes. Your provider will help set realistic goals based on your specific situation.
While the medications work by reducing appetite and helping you feel full, combining them with healthy eating and regular physical activity will maximize your results. We provide guidance on lifestyle changes that complement your medication.
Weight maintenance requires ongoing effort. Many patients continue treatment long-term, while others transition to lifestyle-based maintenance. Your provider will create a plan to help you maintain your weight loss.
