1. Telehealth Consent
Our services are delivered through telehealth, meaning a licensed provider may evaluate you and make treatment decisions based on the information you submit electronically, without an in-person visit. Telehealth has benefits and limitations; by proceeding you acknowledge that a provider may determine that an in-person evaluation is necessary and may decline to prescribe.
2. No Guarantee of Treatment
Completing the questionnaire and paying the $119 review fee does not guarantee that you will be prescribed any medication. Licensed providers exercise independent clinical judgment and may decline treatment when it is not appropriate or safe.
3. About GLP-1 Medications
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are prescription medications. They are not suitable for everyone and carry risks and possible side effects, which commonly include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, and may rarely include serious effects. These medications are contraindicated for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, and for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, among others. Discuss all risks with your provider and review the medication's prescribing information.
4. Results Vary
Individual results vary. Weight-management outcomes depend on many factors and are most effective when combined with healthy nutrition and physical activity. No specific result is promised or guaranteed.
5. Not Medical Advice
Information on this site is for general educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.
6. Compounded Medications
Where medications are compounded, they are prepared by a licensed pharmacy pursuant to a valid prescription. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved products; your provider will discuss whether a compounded option is appropriate for you.
7. Independent Providers & Pharmacies
Ascend is a technology platform. Medical services are provided by independent licensed providers, and medications are dispensed by independent licensed pharmacies. Ascend does not practice medicine or pharmacy.
