The Process

From assessment to results.
Four simple steps.

📋1

Complete Your Assessment

Answer 5 minutes of questions about your health, weight history, and goals. Our clinical AI prepares a comprehensive profile for your practitioner.

🩺2

Consult with an iScript Practitioner

Meet your HPCSA-registered practitioner (a doctor, or a Clinical Associate under live doctor supervision) via video call. They will review your profile, assess your eligibility, and design your personalised treatment plan. GLP-1 initiation prescriptions are issued or countersigned by a Medical Doctor as required by the medication's Schedule 4 classification.

💊3

Receive Your Prescription

If appropriate, your practitioner issues a SAHPRA-registered prescription (or, for Clinical Associate consultations, the prescription is countersigned by the supervising doctor). The prescription is sent electronically to a licensed South African pharmacy — or, where appropriate, dispensed directly under the iScript.health Section 22C Dispensing Doctor licence. Nationwide delivery available.

📈4

Monthly Monitoring & Support

Your practitioner checks in every month to review your progress, adjust your dosage, and ensure you're on track. No guesswork — just medically-guided results.

The Science

Your body isn't broken.
Your biology is
working against you.

Research shows that up to 70% of body weight is genetically determined. When you diet and exercise, your body fights back — slowing your metabolism, increasing hunger hormones, and storing more fat. This is called metabolic adaptation, and it's why traditional diets fail 95% of the time.

GLP-1 class medications work with your body's own hormonal system — the same system that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. Instead of fighting your biology, you're correcting it.

🔬 Peer-reviewed evidence

GLP-1 medications were originally developed for Type 2 Diabetes, where they showed a dramatic side effect: significant, sustained weight loss. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, results showed average losses of 15–22% of total body weight — over 6 times more than lifestyle changes alone.
