Product integrity
How we evaluate treatments
Product selection criteria
We only feature FDA-approved GLP-1 medications and treatment approaches that are prescribed through licensed clinicians after a proper medical evaluation. We do not promote off-label use, compounded alternatives without disclosure, or unverified weight-loss products.
Pharmacy & fulfillment partners
When we reference pharmacy partners, we work exclusively with state-licensed dispensaries that comply with federal and state regulations. Ongo coordinates fulfillment but does not manufacture medications.
