Evidence, criterion by criterion

The evidence behind each disposition in the table above, where it appears, and its date.

S1PASSA doctor or nurse practitioner reviews the medical history in a video visit and prescribes only if appropriate, and the page says a prescription depends on a medical evaluation and is not guaranteed. The terms say the Walgreens-branded medical practices, among them Walgreens Health Medical Group, P.A., are owned and operated by licensed physicians.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page; Walgreens Weight Management's terms of use page.

S2PASSThe answers on the program page say the buyer first completes a short online questionnaire about health history and eligibility, and only if qualified starts a video visit with a provider who decides whether to prescribe. The visit fee is paid for the visit, and no medication is sold before the provider's evaluation.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page; Walgreens Weight Management's virtual healthcare page.

S3FAILThe program page does not name the pharmacy that fills a weight management prescription. It names the chain's own pharmacy only for a separate Medicare program, and the virtual care page says only that a prescription can be filled in store or delivered.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page; Walgreens Weight Management's virtual healthcare page.

S4PASSThe seller offers no compounded drug through this program: the program page lists only Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo and Saxenda and describes each as FDA-approved for weight loss.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page.

S5FAILNo certificate, lot number or purity document appears on the program page, the virtual care page or the terms.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page.

The terms name Illinois law.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's terms of use page.

S7PASSVisits cost $49 each with no subscription, and the medication is billed separately. Through manufacturer self-pay offers the Wegovy pill and Foundayo start at $149 a month with later doses from $199 to $299, Zepbound pens start at $299 a month with later doses from $399 to $449, and Wegovy injections cost $199 a month for the first two fills as an introductory offer, then up to $349 a month.Source: Walgreens Weight Management's weight loss page.

S8PASSFDA warning letter 663404, September 2023, names the parent company Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. and the seller's own website, and alleges that homeopathic eye drops sold under the Walgreens name are unapproved new drugs. A second September 2023 letter names Walgreen Company over the drug listing of a Walgreens toothpaste. Neither concerns weight loss medication. No FDA action has halted the business, and the company continues to operate.Source: FDA warning-letter index.
