Check

I have found a service.

Check the licence of the person providing care and the pharmacy. Ask for the product name and the full bill.

Make the licence checks

Is the medicine real?

FDA approval means the US Food and Drug Administration reviewed a specific medicine for a specific use.

As of September 26, 2026, tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) is an FDA-approved medicine that requires a prescription.

The brand names have different approved uses, so asking for the exact product is worth the trouble.

Before paying, get clear answers.

  • Who would review my health?

    Ask for that person’s full name and where to check their licence.

  • What would the bill include?

    Ask about medicine, visits, tests, and any ongoing fee.

  • What happens after the visit?

    Find out how to contact the person providing your care with later questions and when they will review your health again.
