Online Weight Loss Clinic in Fredericton
TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic serving Fredericton and communities across New Brunswick. There is no waiting room and no physical office to visit — our licensed Canadian doctors meet you by secure video or phone, complete a full medical assessment, review or requisition bloodwork, and, when appropriate, prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. You fill your prescription at any Fredericton pharmacy. Because obesity is a chronic medical condition, our care is built around ongoing support — structured follow-ups for dose titration, side-effect management, and progress reviews — rather than one-off prescriptions. Whether you live downtown, in the North End, or commute from Oromocto or New Maryland, you get evidence-based weight management from the comfort of home.

TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic for Fredericton, New Brunswick residents. Licensed Canadian doctors provide medical weight management over video, prescribing Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) at BMI 30+, or 27+ with a comorbidity, with structured ongoing follow-up.
- Eligibility for GLP-1 weight management follows Obesity Canada's 2020 guidelines: BMI 30 kg/m squared or greater, or BMI 27 or greater with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, or prediabetes.
- Most GLP-1 medications are once-weekly injections: Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are administered subcutaneously once per week; Saxenda (liraglutide) is daily.
- Average trial weight loss at maintenance dose: Wegovy approximately 14.9% over 68 weeks and Mounjaro 15-22.5% over 72 weeks, when paired with diet and activity changes.
- Your doctor reviews medication options, pharmacy steps, and follow-up needs during the appointment. Medication access and dispensing requirements depend on the prescribed medication, dose, supply, pharmacy, and pharmacy requirements. TelePlus Care does not dispense medication; your pharmacist can confirm pickup timing and any plan documentation before you start.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments proceed only when clinically appropriate after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
How an Online Weight Loss Clinic Works for Fredericton Residents
TelePlus Care is a virtual doctor-led clinic, not a compounding pharmacy or a supplement subscription. For Fredericton residents the pathway is simple: you book an appointment online, complete an intake form covering your medical history, weight history, BMI, current medications, and goals, then meet a licensed Canadian doctor by secure video or phone. Your doctor reviews recent bloodwork or requisitions new labs, which you can complete locally through Horizon Health Network collection sites in the Fredericton area. If a GLP-1 medication is clinically appropriate, a prescription is sent to the Fredericton pharmacy of your choice — Shoppers Drug Mart, Sobeys, Costco, or your neighbourhood pharmacy. You never need to drive to a clinic. The same clinical standard that applies in an in-person office applies here: assessment, screening, prescribing, and follow-up. No family-doctor referral is required to get started.
- Book online — flexible video or phone appointments, often same-week.
- Complete a detailed medical intake before your visit.
- Meet a licensed Canadian doctor for a 15-25 minute consultation.
- Have bloodwork reviewed or requisitioned through local Horizon Health labs.
- Receive a prescription filled at any Fredericton pharmacy.
GLP-1 Medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
GLP-1 receptor agonists are the most effective medications currently available for chronic weight management, and several are Health Canada approved. They work by slowing gastric emptying, reducing appetite, and improving how your body regulates blood sugar. Your TelePlus Care doctor matches the medication to your clinical picture, medication history, and pharmacy availability, and current supply — not the other way around. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is the on-label semaglutide for chronic weight management in Canada, though supply has been intermittent. Ozempic (semaglutide) is approved for type 2 diabetes and is prescribed off-label for weight loss when clinically justified, and it is often more reliably stocked. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with the highest efficacy in head-to-head trials. Saxenda (liraglutide) is a daily, well-established option. Off-label prescribing is legal across Canada when supported by clinical judgment, and your doctor will explain the trade-offs of each option during your visit.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, weekly) — on-label for chronic weight management; supply can be intermittent.
- Ozempic (semaglutide, weekly) — approved for diabetes, prescribed off-label for weight loss; reliably stocked.
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide, weekly) — dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with the highest trial weight-loss results.
- Saxenda (liraglutide, daily) — on-label, established daily injectable option.
Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss
Eligibility for medical weight management follows Obesity Canada's 2020 Clinical Practice Guidelines, which use body mass index alongside weight-related health conditions rather than appearance alone. During your Fredericton virtual visit, your doctor confirms your measurements, screens for contraindications, and discusses whether a GLP-1 medication is safe and appropriate for you. Some people are not suitable candidates, and your doctor will tell you honestly if that is the case and discuss alternatives.
- Adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m squared or greater (Class I obesity or higher).
- Adults with a BMI of 27 or greater plus at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, or prediabetes.
- No personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2 syndrome.
- No history of pancreatitis.
- Not currently pregnant or planning pregnancy in the near term.
- Willingness to engage in ongoing follow-up and lifestyle changes alongside medication.

Why Choose Medical Weight Management Over Fad Diets
Fad diets, detox teas, and unregulated online semaglutide can be tempting because they promise quick results, but they rarely produce lasting change and can be unsafe. Obesity is a chronic, relapsing medical condition driven by physiology, not a failure of willpower, and it responds best to medical treatment paired with sustainable lifestyle change. Medical weight management at TelePlus Care means a licensed doctor evaluates your full health picture, screens for conditions that affect safety, prescribes Health Canada-approved medication at the correct titrated dose, and monitors you over time. That structure protects you from the side effects and rebound weight gain that often follow crash diets. Just as importantly, GLP-1 medications work best alongside realistic changes to nutrition, activity, sleep, and stress — and your doctor will help you build those habits. Fredericton's river trails, the Green, and an active local fitness community make it easier to stay consistent. The goal is durable, medically supervised progress, not a short-term number on the scale.
