Medically-supervised weight management with GLP-1 class medication — prescribed by HPCSA-registered practitioners (doctors and supervised Clinical Associates) and delivered to your door. No gym. No crash diet. No surgery.
Assessment takes 5 minutes · POPIA protected · No commitment required
GLP-1 therapy covered by leading SA health publications
Answer 5 minutes of questions about your health, weight history, and goals. Our clinical AI prepares a comprehensive profile for your 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.
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.
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.

* Based on published GLP-1 clinical trial data. Individual results vary. Data from NEJM 2021, 2022 and WHO weight management studies.
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.
