Who prescribes it, and what does the clinical review involve?
A legitimate GLP-1 program requires a licensed clinician to review the patient's history before any prescription. Clinical support. Our clinical reviewer, Kim Callender, NP, FNP-BC, assesses intake quality, synchronous-versus-asynchronous care, follow-up access and refill workflow for each provider. Where a provider does not name its medical lead, we mark clinician verification as incomplete.
Which pharmacy fills it, and where does the medication come from?
Pharmacy transparency is one of the strongest legitimacy signals. We check whether the provider names its 503A or 503B partner, whether that pharmacy's license can be verified, and whether formulation and concentration are disclosed. For Shed: Not independently verified.

Frequently asked questions

Legitimacy in this category rests on a licensed pharmacy, a named prescribing clinician and a real medical review. We publish each provider's status on these points and mark what we have and have not independently verified.
How much does Shed cost?
$149/mo (sema microdose) to start (reported — pending verification). See the pricing section for renewal and highest-dose figures.
Does Shed require a prescription?
Yes. Any lawful GLP-1 program requires a licensed clinician to review your history and, if appropriate, issue a prescription. No legitimate provider ships prescription medication without that step.
