What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of FDA-approved prescription medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes and now approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet clinical criteria. They work by mimicking a hormone your body already produces to help regulate appetite and blood sugar.
Common medications in this class include semaglutide and tirzepatide. These are prescription medications that require ongoing medical supervision — they are not something you should obtain from an unverified online source.
How Nova's GLP-1 Program Works in Rockville
Our approach is deliberately not "click and get a prescription." GLP-1 medications are powerful tools with real side effects, real contraindications, and real costs. They belong inside a medical relationship.
Step 1 — Full Medical Evaluation.
You meet with a board-certified physician who reviews your health history, medications, labs, and goals to determine whether a GLP-1 medication is clinically appropriate for you.
Step 2 — Personalized Plan.
If a GLP-1 medication is right for your situation, your physician will discuss options, side effects, cost, and insurance coverage — and pair the medication with nutrition guidance and lifestyle support to help it work.
Step 3 — Ongoing Monitoring.
GLP-1 care is not a one-time visit. Your physician monitors your response, adjusts your dose, manages side effects, and coordinates with your other providers as needed.

Is a GLP-1 Medication Right for You?
GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for adults who meet FDA-approved clinical criteria for chronic weight management, including certain BMI thresholds or weight-related health conditions. They are not appropriate for everyone.
Your physician will help you understand:
- Whether you meet clinical criteria
- Which medication may be the best fit for your health history
- What side effects to expect and how to manage them
- Whether your insurance covers the medication and what your out-of-pocket cost may be
- What to do if the medication is not available due to a supply issue
We do not compound GLP-1 medications, and we do not prescribe from unverified sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Yes — when a board-certified physician determines it is clinically appropriate for you after a full evaluation. We do not prescribe based on a form or a photo alone.
Will insurance cover my GLP-1 medication?
Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. Our team helps you understand your benefits before you fill a prescription.
Can I get a GLP-1 prescription at my first visit?
Sometimes yes, if your labs and history support it. Some patients need additional evaluation first. Your physician will explain what makes sense for you.
Do you offer compounded GLP-1 medications?
No. We prescribe FDA-approved medications only, filled at a licensed pharmacy.
Can I be seen virtually?
For established patients, some follow-ups may be virtual. Initial evaluation typically requires an in-person visit at our Rockville office.
