Online Weight Loss Clinic in Ottawa
TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic serving Ottawa and the wider Ontario region with medical weight management you can access from home. Our licensed doctors provide secure video and phone consultations, complete a full medical assessment, requisition bloodwork through Ottawa-area labs, and prescribe the Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medication that fits your clinical picture — Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro — when it is clinically appropriate. You fill your prescription at any Ottawa pharmacy. There is no physical office to visit and no family-doctor referral required. Most importantly, this is ongoing care, not a one-time script: structured follow-ups support safe dose titration, side-effect management, and steady progress. Same-day or next-business-day appointments are typical for Ottawa residents.

TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic for Ottawa, Ontario residents. licensed doctors assess clinical fit (BMI 30+, or 27+ with a comorbidity), prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro by video, and provide structured ongoing follow-up. Care is delivered entirely online.

- Average trial weight loss at maintenance dose: Wegovy approximately 14.9% of body weight (68 weeks), Ozempic 12-15%, and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) 15-22.5% (72 weeks).
- Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are weekly subcutaneous injections; Wegovy is Health Canada-approved on-label for chronic weight management, while Ozempic and Mounjaro are prescribed off-label for weight loss when clinically justified.

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 Ottawa Residents
TelePlus Care is a virtual doctor-led clinic, not a compounding pharmacy or supplement subscription. The model is straightforward: we assess, we prescribe Health Canada-authorized medication when appropriate, and we follow up. Ottawa residents book a secure video or phone consultation with a licensed doctor, complete an intake form covering medical history and goals, and share recent bloodwork or have new labs requisitioned at an Ottawa-area collection site. If a GLP-1 medication is clinically suitable, your doctor issues a prescription you fill at any pharmacy in Ottawa. Because everything happens online, there is no commute to a clinic in Centretown or Kanata and no waiting room. The same evidence-based standards apply whether you live downtown, in Barrhaven, Orléans, Nepean, or a smaller community across Eastern Ontario.
- Book a same-day or next-business-day video or phone appointment online.
- Complete a medical intake: history, BMI, weight history, comorbidities, medications, and allergies.
- Have a 15-25 minute consultation with a licensed doctor.
- Receive a prescription, if appropriate, that you fill at any Ottawa pharmacy.
GLP-1 Medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by slowing gastric emptying, increasing satiety, and helping regulate appetite, which supports meaningful weight loss when combined with lifestyle change. Ottawa patients have several Health Canada-approved options, each with a different mechanism, efficacy profile, and supply situation. Your doctor matches the medication to your clinical picture rather than the other way around. Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is the only on-label semaglutide for chronic weight management in Canada, though supply can be intermittent. Ozempic (semaglutide) is prescribed off-label for weight loss and is often more reliably stocked. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with the highest efficacy in head-to-head trial data. All three are weekly injections. Your doctor will review benefits, common side effects such as nausea, and titration before any prescription is issued.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, weekly) — on-label for chronic weight management; approximately 14.9% body-weight loss in trials.
- Ozempic (semaglutide, weekly) — off-label for weight loss; 12-15% body-weight loss; generally reliable supply.
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide, weekly) — dual-agonist with the highest trial efficacy, 15-22.5%; off-label for weight loss.
Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss (BMI Criteria)
Clinical suitability follows Obesity Canada's 2020 Clinical Practice Guidelines. Off-label prescribing of medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro for weight loss is legal across Canada, including Ontario, when clinically justified and documented. Your TelePlus Care doctor reviews your full history before recommending any medication, and some patients are better served by lifestyle measures alone or by referral. The following criteria guide who is typically a candidate for GLP-1 therapy through a virtual visit.
- Adults with a Body Mass Index of 30 kg/m squared or greater (Class I obesity or higher).
- Adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m squared or greater plus at least one weight-related comorbidity — 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, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy in the near term.
- Willingness to attend follow-up appointments for safe dose titration and monitoring.

Why Choose Medical Weight Management Over Fad Diets
Fad diets, cleanses, and unregulated supplements rarely produce durable results because they do not address the biology of appetite regulation. Medical weight management is different: it combines a Health Canada-approved medication, when appropriate, with evidence-based lifestyle support and clinical monitoring. GLP-1 medications act on the same appetite and satiety pathways that make sustained weight loss difficult through willpower alone, which is why trial results consistently outperform diet-only approaches. Just as important, a doctor monitors your blood pressure, tolerance, and side effects, and adjusts your plan over time. Your TelePlus Care doctor will also discuss realistic nutrition patterns, resistance training to preserve lean mass during weight loss, sleep, and stress management — because medication works best alongside sustainable habits. This is care designed for the long term, not a quick fix, and it avoids the rebound cycle common with restrictive crash diets.
- Targets the underlying biology of appetite, not just calorie restriction.
- Includes clinical monitoring of tolerance, side effects, and progress.
- Pairs medication with nutrition, activity, and sleep guidance for lasting results.
