Question Topics

About RedBox Rx

  • RedBox Rx was built to save you time and money by offering convenient care on your time at affordable prices. We keep prices low by using technology to efficiently evaluate and treat patients with licensed medical providers and have low prices on medications by purchasing directly from FDA-licensed manufacturers. The result is a lower overall cost to be treated without needing any insurance.

  • Redbox Rx treats any human patient 18 and older (sorry pets!) who desires to have control of their own care through convenient, affordable access to providers and prescription treatment. Our services are available across the entire United States, in all 50 states and D.C.

  • The biggest differences are convenience and the use of technology. You can begin the treatment process for any condition from the comfort of where you are any time-of-day 24/7. There is no driving or waiting in an office. In fact, most of our services do not require a live video or phone call with a provider; simply fill out a questionnaire and a provider will review and prescribe treatment, if appropriate.

  • Your information is safe with RedBox Rx. We follow all required state and federal guidelines surrounding your payment information and personal health information. In addition, we have LegitScript certification and never share your information outside of our organization. To learn more, review our terms of use, HIPAA notice, and privacy policy.

  • No, RedBox Rx does not share or sell your information for marketing or targeting! All of your information is stored safely, and is solely used for medical record purposes, allowing us to treat you the best way we can. Your medical information is only available to you, or a medical provider.

  • RedBox Rx offers a range of services including both subscription-based and non-subscription options. Our weight management services require a subscription, covering the cost of medications, consultations, and more. For non-subscription services, we provide transparent pricing upfront before any consultation or medication purchase. If your prescribed medication includes refills, they are automatically scheduled based on when the medication is expected to run out for your convenience. We aim to simplify the refill process by allowing you to refill early, pause refills, or order multiple refills directly from your account.

  • We believe in affordable, convenient, access to high-quality healthcare and prescription treatment by meeting customers where they are: literally anywhere there’s internet access. We are committed to offering doctor visits and prescriptions at affordable prices so that everyone has access. We believe in providing tools that put you in control of managing your prescriptions- refill early, pause refills, change refill quantities for example. Finally, our teams work tirelessly every day to provide exceptional customer service. We sincerely appreciate your business and trusting us for your care.

  • One of the biggest advantages of RedBox Rx is the ability to receive care in a fraction of the time it would take for a traditional appointment and doctor visit. You can create an account, complete your telehealth visit and have medication on the way to your doorstep in minutes.

  • RedBox Rx prescriptions can be mailed to all 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C.

    We are restricted by state law from treating Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation in North Dakota and South Carolina, but can treat other conditions in these states.

Telehealth

  • Our goal is to make it convenient for you to be evaluated and receive treatment while following all state and federal regulations on how telehealth shall be conducted. All our customers utilizing Mental Health Services (Depression, Anxiety, Adult ADHD, Insomnia) are conducted through a live video visit. For all other services, except where required by law, the medical provider will evaluate you by reviewing your intake form where you provide personal information and answer questions. Our medical team may reach out by phone for clarifying questions. Because we believe in making our providers accessible, all new and existing customers have the ability to consult with the medical provider by phone or video.

  • RedBox Rx has licensed providers in all states. Our healthcare professionals are physicians, pharmacists, and advanced registered nurse practitioners. All RedBox Rx providers are licensed and trained to provide care in the conditions that we offer.

    Some conditions (mental health specifically) and states require by law that visits are completed through video. You can schedule a time that is convenient for you. Our U.S. licensed medical professionals are available for live video consultations daily 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CST. Most patients can schedule an appointment within 1-2 days.

    When you start your weight loss program with RedBox Rx, the following is included with your first month’s purchase:

  • RedBox Rx offers compounded weight loss medications and support as an all-in-one subscription service. We’ve partnered with Hy-Vee dietitians to provide nutrition and weight loss counseling services nationwide. Combining weight loss medication and services from our registered dietitians will set you up for success in reaching your weight loss goals.

    Enrollment starts with an online assessment, and then a U.S. licensed medical provider will review your intake and determine eligibility. That review typically occurs within 24 hours. If you qualify, medication will be ordered from one of our state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy partners and express shipped to your door within five to seven days.

  • Branded GLP-1 weight loss medications were originally developed and prescribed for diabetes management. After years of safe and effective use, these drugs have emerged as a promising and innovative solution for individuals seeking effective and sustainable weight loss. Engineered by leading pharmaceutical companies, these GLP-1 receptor agonists harness the power of the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 hormone to regulate blood sugar levels and aid in weight loss.

    The distinct feature of GLP-1 weight loss medications is the ability to influence satiety and reduce appetite. The drugs work by mimicking GLP-1, a gut hormone produced naturally by your body that is involved in insulin release and appetite regulation. GLP-1 medications have been shown to encourage insulin release after you eat, inhibit glucagon production (to prevent blood sugar spikes) and slow down digestion. Together, these effects help control blood sugar, reduce appetite and lead to weight loss.1

  • In clinical trials, significantly more participants lost at least 5% of their body weight after taking GLP-1 agonists than placebo.2

    Weight loss can vary among patients. Some individuals will experience weight loss within the first four weeks. On average, the most weight loss happens within the first five months.3

    Continue to take as directed and your provider will adjust your dose as needed to promote optimal weight loss tailored to your needs. On average, one to two pounds per week (or six to eight pounds per month) of weight loss is typically considered safe.

  • Drug compounding is the process of combining, mixing or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The FDA also approves medications that are in shortage to be fulfilled by a compounding pharmacy. Compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications fall into the latter group.4

    With RedBox Rx, we ensure that:

    • Ingredients used in the prescribed GLP-1 compounds are pharmaceutical grade and not research grade.

    • GLP-1 medication is compounded using its base form and not its salt form.

    • The compounding pharmacy conducts third-party quality testing to check for potency, sterility and the presence of toxins.

    • Complete due diligence of the compounding pharmacy, including but not limited to accreditations, licensures and manufacturing processes.

  • Compounded GLP-1 medications contain the same active ingredient and work similarly to name brands. The most noticeable difference is that injectable compounded GLP-1 medications come in a vial and the user must measure each dose. The name brands come in an autopen with premeasured dosages.5,6,7

  • Yes, you should not eat or drink (other than water) for 12 hours before you labs are drawn.
