General information only

The Dr. Franks website provides general educational and informational content about prescription weight-loss medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide. The information on this Site is intended for general adult audiences and is not medical advice.

No doctor-patient relationship

Visiting this Site, reading its content, or contacting us does not create a doctor-patient relationship. The Dr. Franks website is not a healthcare provider, pharmacy, or telehealth service. A doctor-patient relationship can be established only through a consultation with a licensed US healthcare provider — for example, by completing the consultation flow available on the Hydreight Platform at book.drfranks.com.

Prescription-only medications

Tirzepatide, Semaglutide, and other GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs in the United States. They cannot be obtained without a prescription from a licensed US healthcare provider, and they require ongoing clinical oversight. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis by a licensed provider after reviewing your individual health history.

Compounded medications

Some weight-loss medications offered via partner pharmacies are compounded — meaning they are custom-prepared by a licensed US compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved drug products, although they may contain the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as FDA-approved branded products. Compounded medications can be appropriate in certain clinical situations, but they are not equivalent to FDA-approved finished drug products. Discuss the differences, benefits, and risks with your prescribing provider before starting treatment.

Individual results vary

Weight-loss outcomes vary significantly from person to person. Results depend on many factors, including starting weight, age, sex, medical history, adherence to the prescribed regimen, diet, physical activity, and other individual physiological factors. Testimonials, case studies, or example outcomes on the Site reflect specific individuals’ experiences and are not representative of typical results. Many people may achieve more, less, or no clinically meaningful weight loss.

Side effects and risks

All medications carry risks. GLP-1 medications can cause side effects ranging from common (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation) to less common but serious (pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, allergic reactions). Certain medical conditions may make GLP-1 medications inappropriate, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pregnancy, breastfeeding, severe gastrointestinal disease, severe renal impairment, or known hypersensitivity. Discuss your full medical history with your provider before starting treatment.

Medical emergencies

The Dr. Franks website is not designed to support medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Do not rely on this Site, our partner platforms, or any online resource for emergency medical care. For non-emergency clinical questions while you are in active treatment, contact your prescribing provider directly through the Hydreight Platform.

No guarantee of outcome

Nothing on this Site should be construed as a guarantee, warranty, or assurance of any specific medical outcome. We make no representations about the efficacy, safety, or appropriateness of any specific medication for your individual situation. Only a licensed healthcare provider can make those determinations after evaluating you.

Reporting adverse events

If you experience a serious adverse event from a medication you obtained through any provider, report it to your healthcare provider immediately and consider reporting to the US Food and Drug Administration’s MedWatch program at www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088.
