Can you get GLP-1 weight loss medication in Arkansas?
Yes. Arkansas residents can get doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication through telehealth. Whether Arkansas rules require an in-person visit before a telehealth prescription depends on conditions. See the rule and its source. Through Majesta Health, once we open, a physician licensed in Arkansas reviews your medical assessment online and decides whether treatment is appropriate. Where Arkansas telehealth rules require it, or where the physician decides it is needed, your evaluation includes a phone or video visit before any prescription. If you qualify, compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide is prescribed and shipped discreetly to your Arkansas address from a state-licensed pharmacy. Planned regular ongoing prices start at $299 per 30-day cycle, but enrollment is not open yet. Completing the free assessment joins the waitlist and does not submit a case for physician review. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as final products, and results may vary.

Why GLP-1 telehealth matters in Arkansas
Arkansas is home to roughly 3.1 million people, and about 38.4% of Arkansas adults have obesity. Whether treatment is appropriate for any individual is a licensed physician's decision.
Whether you live in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith or anywhere else in Arkansas, you can start with an online medical assessment once we open, and a physician licensed in Arkansas reviews it and decides whether telehealth treatment is right for you.
Arkansas telehealth rules: A healthcare professional treating patients in Arkansas through telemedicine must be fully licensed or certified in Arkansas, apart from one in another jurisdiction who provides only episodic consultation, and telemedicine care, including a prescription, is held to the same standard of care as in-person care (Ark. Code Ann. section 17-80-404). Whether any medication is appropriate is the clinician's decision.
Before you start an assessment with any program in Arkansas, check six things.
Who prescribes. Ask for the clinician's full name and credential, then check the license with the board that issues it. For a physician or another medical practitioner licensed by the Arkansas State Medical Board, use the Board's license verification in the verified facts; for any other credential, ask which Arkansas board issued it and check there.
Arkansas's telemedicine licensing rule, section 17-80-404(d), exempts a clinician in another jurisdiction who provides only episodic consultation. For other states, see our guide to which states allow telehealth across state lines.
How you will be evaluated. Outside emergencies, telemedicine care in Arkansas needs a professional relationship, and an internet questionnaire, email, text messages, a fax or patient-generated history alone does not create one (section 17-80-403). Ask how a clinician will review your history and records, whether the visit will be by phone or video, and what happens if the clinician wants to see you in person. To get ready, see how to prepare for your first telehealth visit.
A phone call can count. Under section 17-80-402(4)(G), an Arkansas-licensed professional with access to your health record, kept by a healthcare professional, may use the telephone or other technology they judge appropriate to diagnose, treat and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe a noncontrolled drug; the record may be created through telemedicine when it holds the relevant clinical information and is reviewed by a professional held to the in-person standard of care.
Records, follow-up and disclosure. The Arkansas State Medical Board's Rule 38 applies to anyone it licenses who treats by telemedicine. Before the encounter, such a clinician must give you access to information identifying them, their licensure and board certifications, and your financial responsibilities. If they recommend an in-person visit, they must arrange one or direct you to another appropriate provider.
They must also keep a documented medical record, including your history, give you a copy of the encounter record if you ask, send a copy to your regular treating clinician, if that is not the telemedicine provider, unless you decline, and agree to provide or arrange follow-up care when it is indicated. Ask how the program handles each of these.
Which pharmacy dispenses. Ask which pharmacy will fill and ship the prescription, then use the License Verification link on the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy page in the verified facts. When a prescription arrives, check the prescription label.
What the price covers. Ask what a quoted price includes (the clinician's evaluation, the medication, shipping and follow-up care), when the first charge happens, and how renewal and cancellation work; these questions to ask before paying cover the rest. Majesta's plans, and what each one includes, are in the cost question below, and How it works explains when Majesta charges.
How coverage fits in. Coverage is a separate question from price. The Arkansas Medicaid Pharmacy Program says it does not cover medications for weight loss; the same memo refers to separate prior authorization criteria for one brand-name product's cardiovascular risk-reduction indication, and the verified facts link that memo. For any other plan, ask about the exact medication and the reason it is prescribed. Majesta Health does not bill insurance.

How it works in Arkansas
- 1
Start your 2-minute assessment
A short health questionnaire about your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals. We screen for the contraindications that matter, including thyroid history, pancreatitis, and gallbladder issues. There is no charge to start the assessment. If you enroll, nothing is charged at checkout: your first month's price is charged only after the physician reviews your file and approves treatment, and it includes a $20 medical consultation fee paid through to the licensed physician. If the physician does not approve treatment, you are not charged.
- 2
A real AR-licensed doctor reviews your file
Not an AI, not a form bot. Once we open, a physician licensed in Arkansas reads your full assessment and decides whether GLP-1 is right for you. Where Arkansas telehealth rules require it, or where the physician decides it is needed, your evaluation includes a phone or video visit before any prescription. If it's not right for you, they'll tell you that, too, honestly.
- 3
Your medication ships discreetly to your Arkansas address
Compounded medication is dispensed by a state-licensed pharmacy in plain packaging, covering every Arkansas address, from Little Rock and Fayetteville to rural ZIP codes, once we open.

Message your doctor anytime
Side effect questions, dose adjustments, food and lifestyle questions, they're all included. The program is designed so you always have the same doctor.
Frequently asked questions about GLP-1 in Arkansas
Can an online questionnaire alone get me treated or prescribed medication in Arkansas?
No. Ark. Code Ann. section 17-80-403(c) states that a professional relationship does not include one established only by an internet questionnaire, an email message, patient-generated medical history, text messaging, a facsimile machine, or any combination of those. The Arkansas State Medical Board's Rule 38 adds that a patient completing a medical history online and forwarding it to a provider is not sufficient to establish the relationship. Outside emergencies, a licensed clinician has to meet one of the relationship routes in section 17-80-402(4) to treat you by telemedicine, and whether to prescribe is the clinician's decision.
Does a telehealth doctor treating me in Arkansas need an Arkansas license?
Yes. Section 17-80-404(d)(1) requires that a healthcare professional treating patients in Arkansas through telemedicine be fully licensed or certified to practice in Arkansas and subject to the rules of the appropriate state licensing board. That subsection's exception, in subdivision (d)(2), covers a professional in another jurisdiction who provides only episodic consultation services. Medical Board Rule 38 restates the requirement for the Board's licensees: all providers giving care via telemedicine to a patient located within Arkansas shall be licensed to practice medicine in Arkansas.
Can a phone call count as a telehealth visit in Arkansas?
It can, within limits. Section 17-80-402(4)(G) lets an Arkansas-licensed professional who has access to your personal health record maintained by a healthcare professional use any technology deemed appropriate, including the telephone, to diagnose, treat and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe a noncontrolled drug, and section 17-80-404(a)(2) allows care through telemedicine, including interactive audio, once a professional relationship is established. Controlled substances are different: the Medical Board's Rule 38 bars its licensees from prescribing schedule II through V medications by telemedicine unless they have seen you in person or one of the rule's specific relationship exceptions applies.
Can I get GLP-1 medication through telehealth in Arkansas?
Yes. Arkansas residents can be prescribed GLP-1 medications through telehealth where a licensed physician finds treatment appropriate. Through Majesta Health, once we open enrollment, a Arkansas-licensed physician reviews your assessment, and medication is dispensed by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped discreetly to your home.
How much does GLP-1 cost in Arkansas?
At Majesta Health, Essential (compounded semaglutide injection) has a planned regular ongoing price of $299 per 30-day cycle.

Completing the free assessment joins the waitlist and does not submit a case for physician review. First-cycle and waitlist terms are on our pricing page.

Code Ann. section 17-80-404). Whether any medication is appropriate is the clinician's decision.
