For existing Metabolic Doc patients needing a renewal or follow-up.
Before your call, your doctor reads your full intake form. During the consultation, they screen for contraindications, review your health history, discuss your options, and only prescribe if GLP-1 therapy is clinically appropriate for you. If it's not, you don't pay.
Your intake form is reviewed before the call
You're not repeating yourself on the call. Your doctor arrives prepared — having already reviewed your health history, medications, and goals.
A proper clinical assessment — not a rubber stamp
Contraindications are screened. Your full health picture is considered. GLP-1 therapy is only prescribed where it's medically appropriate.
HPCSA-registered doctors. SAHPRA-approved medications only.
Every consultation is conducted by an HPCSA-registered doctor. We prescribe exclusively SAHPRA-approved medications — Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda. No compounded or unregistered products, ever.
South Africans who finally found something that works — after years of trying everything else.
"I'd been trying to lose weight for 12 years. Different diets, different trainers, a slimming clinic. Nothing stuck. Within 6 weeks on Mounjaro I was down 7kg and for the first time I wasn't obsessing over food. The consultation was quick, private, and my doctor clearly knew what he was talking about."
"I was skeptical — I thought this was just another online scam. But the doctor had actually read my intake form before the call, asked all the right questions, and explained the medication properly. My script was in my inbox the same afternoon — I printed it and collected my medication the next morning. I've lost 9kg so far and my blood pressure is down."
"The privacy aspect was what sold me. I didn't want my GP knowing, I didn't want my family knowing. I filled in the form on my lunch break, had the video call that evening, and nobody I know has any idea. The follow-ups are simple, private, and only R350 for every renewal."
