What is
Wegovy
?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is part of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist class of medications.

Wegovy is typically used in combination with a reduced calorie diet and exercise to assist with chronic weight management in adults.

For more resources, including a full list of the risks and benefits of Wegovy, please review the product monograph.

How does
Wegovy
work?

Wegovy works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which binds to and activates GLP-1 receptors in your body.

GLP-1 helps regulate both your appetite and caloric intake, and this receptor is present in several parts of the brain that regulate your appetite. Wegovy is similar to the natural GLP-1 hormone that our intestine releases after we eat a meal.

This means that Wegovy not only helps slow the digestion process, but it also helps promote a feeling of fullness.

In combination with positive diet changes, and regular exercise, this can help encourage weight loss or assist with weight management.

What is
Wegovy
used to treat?

Wegovy is used to assist with chronic weight management, alongside a reduced calorie diet and exercise regimens, in patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher.

In some cases, Wegovy is also used for patients with a BMI between 27 and 30, when these people are experiencing weight-related health issues.

How do you take
Wegovy
?

Wegovy injections are taken subcutaneously, which means under the skin. This is done once per week. The injections come pre-filled and ready to use.

The best places to use you Wegovy injections is on the front of your thighs, the front of your abdomen (stomach), or your upper arms.

If you have any questions about how to use your online Wegovy prescription, be sure to ask your healthcare practitioner during your online assessment with Felix.

How long does
Wegovy
last after you take it?

What are the common side effects of
Wegovy
?

The most common side effects of taking Wegovy include:

  • Nausea
  • Hair loss
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Lowered blood sugar
  • Stomach pain
  • Weakness or fatigue
  • Headache
  • Indigestion
  • Bloating or gas
  • Inflamed stomach (‘gastritis’)
  • Reaction at the injection site
  • Low blood pressure
  • Increase in pancreatic enzymes (i.e.,  lipase)

If you start to experience any serious side effects, you should speak to your Felix healthcare practitioner about it right away. They’ll be able to suggest different dosages or alternative treatments that may work better for you.

Who shouldn't take
Wegovy
?

There are a number of people who should be cautious about taking Wegovy, such as:

  • People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People under the age of 18
  • People over the age of 75

If any of these categories describes you, you should be sure to talk to your Felix healthcare practitioner about additional risks with Wegovy, and if another treatment might be a better choice for you.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a prescription to certain medications but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a prescription lifestyle medication safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about the medications you are currently using.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialist to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email hello@felixforyou.ca and we’ll look into it.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Please email our Customer Support team at hello@felixforyou.ca and they will be able to assist you with the transfer.

Privacy and Security

Is my information private and secure?

Yes, your security is paramount to Felix’s mission. Personal health information provided during your medical assessment is strictly and legally confidential between you and the Felix healthcare practitioner.

Beyond that, all your account information (including the medical assessment, credit card, and shipping information, etc.) is also stored safely and securely. Felix is compliant with all federal and provincial health privacy legislation. It is our duty to protect your data with comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies to ensure it stays private and secure.

Read more on our Privacy Policy.

Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic. These practitioners do not provide prescriptions unless they deem it medically safe and appropriate to write them based on your medical profile and assessment answers. Our assessments have been crafted by the practitioners on our medical team. Finally, all Felix Pharmacies are provincially accredited just like any retail pharmacy.

How is my privacy protected?

Your privacy is our top priority. All your data is 256 bit SSL/TLS encrypted, and we take significant steps to keep your data secure. You can read our Privacy Policy for more information. 

Shipping

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-3 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages are shipped via Express Post, which usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

What courier do you use for shipping?

Pricing and Payment

How much is the online visit?

Felix charges a fee for the online visit, but only if and when you are approved by the healthcare practitioner. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.

How much will my treatment cost?

It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be charged once approved. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

When am I charged?

Insurance

Am I covered by my insurance?

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.

‍

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.
