UPDATED APRIL 2026 TO INCLUDE NEW FDA APPROVED ZEPBOUND KWIKPEN & ORAL FOUNDAYO!
A practical framework for clinicians who want to confidently prescribe FDA Approved GLP-1 medications for weight management.
GLP-1 receptor agonists have quickly become one of the most discussed and requested treatments in metabolic medicine. Yet many clinicians feel unprepared to prescribe them confidently — despite patients asking about them more and more frequently.
This GLP-1 Prescribing Quick Start Guide was designed to provide a clear, evidence-informed overview of how these medications work and how to integrate them safely into clinical practice.
Inside the guide you’ll find:
• A concise overview of GLP-1 mechanisms
• Clear candidate criteria and clinical indications
• Contraindications and important safety precautions
• Lifestyle guidance to support successful treatment
• A comparison of available medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, etc.)
• Administration methods and dosing schedules for major FDA Approved GLP-1 medications
• Practical guidance for insurance prior authorizations and documentation
• Cash-pay prescribing pathways and pharmacy resources
You will also get handouts for each of the options for your patients that include a brief overview, how to use, side effects and warning signs.
The goal of this guide is simple: to help busy clinicians move from uncertainty to confident prescribing.
Whether you’re new to GLP-1 medications or looking for a streamlined reference to support patient care, this quick start guide provides the essential clinical information you need in one place.
