Sound familiar?

The brand-name system is failing most people

If you've been looking for weight loss medication and hit wall after wall, you're not alone.

Perpetual pharmacy shortages

Brand-name GLP-1 medications are frequently backordered, leaving patients without their prescribed doses.

$900–$1,300/month out of pocket

Without insurance coverage, brand-name options are simply out of reach for most budget-conscious patients.

Insurance denials and delays

Prior authorization can take months — and still result in denial. Many plans exclude weight loss medications entirely.

In-person visit requirements

Traditional clinics require in-person appointments, adding waitlists, travel costs, and time you don't have.

How it works

4 simple steps to your prescription

1

Health assessment

Complete a short online intake covering your health background, goals, and current medications. Takes 5–10 minutes.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What are my weight loss treatment options through GLP-1?
Gala offers compounded GLP-1/GIP (Tirzepatide), a doctor-prescribed compounded medication prepared by licensed US compounding pharmacies — not a brand-name drug. A licensed physician independently reviews your intake and recommends a treatment plan at their sole discretion.
Is compounded GLP-1 medication legal?
Yes. Compounded medications are a legal, FDA-regulated category prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies. They require a valid physician prescription, which is included in Gala's platform. They are not generic versions of brand-name drugs — they are independently compounded formulations of the same active ingredient.
Is a doctor visit required?
No in-person visit is needed. Gala is a telehealth platform — a licensed US physician reviews your online health intake and determines whether treatment is appropriate. The physician consultation is included in your $179/month plan at no additional charge.
Do I need insurance to qualify?
No insurance is required. Gala operates on a direct-pay model at $179/month on a 12-month subscription ($2,148 total billed over the year). This covers your physician consultation and prescription. Insurance cannot be billed for compounded medications.
Are GLP-1 medications available in all states?
Gala currently serves many US states; however, not all states are eligible due to varying compounding regulations and telehealth licensing requirements. Your state eligibility will be confirmed during the intake process. Residents of certain states may not qualify.
Is compounded GLP-1 the same as Ozempic or Mounjaro?
No. Compounded GLP-1/GIP is not a brand-name drug and is not a generic version of Ozempic or Mounjaro. It is an independently compounded formulation — not an FDA-approved finished drug product — prepared by a licensed US compounding pharmacy. A physician prescription is required and is not guaranteed.
How long until I see weight loss results?
Results vary significantly by individual and are not guaranteed. Clinical studies on Tirzepatide have shown weight reduction in study populations when combined with diet and lifestyle changes; however, these results may not apply to all patients. Your licensed provider will guide dosing at their sole discretion.
What are the possible side effects of GLP-1 medications?
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and reduced appetite, particularly during dose titration. A licensed physician reviews your health history as part of the intake process to assess suitability. Always consult a healthcare provider about potential risks before starting any new medication.
