Quick Answer
TelePlus Care runs a virtual weight loss clinic for Winnipeg, Manitoba residents. Licensed doctors assess clinical fit by video, prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) when appropriate at BMI 30+, or 27+ with a comorbidity, and provide ongoing follow-up. No referral needed.
- Eligibility for medical 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 condition such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, or sleep apnea.
- GLP-1 medications are administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro), with the dose titrated gradually to improve tolerability.
- In clinical trials at maintenance dose, average body-weight reduction was roughly 12 to 15 percent with semaglutide (Wegovy ~14.9 percent over 68 weeks) and up to about 15 to 22 percent with tirzepatide (Mounjaro) over 72 weeks.
- Structured follow-up matters: GLP-1 medications are intended for long-term chronic weight management, and ongoing clinical monitoring helps manage side effects, adjust dosing, and sustain results.

How an Online Weight Loss Clinic Works for Winnipeg Residents
TelePlus Care is a virtual doctor clinic, not a compounding pharmacy or supplement subscription. Winnipeg residents book a secure video or phone appointment with a licensed Canadian doctor, complete an intake covering medical history, weight history, current medications, and goals, and share recent bloodwork or have new labs requisitioned locally. The doctor confirms eligibility, discusses the options, and, when clinically appropriate, issues a prescription you fill at any Winnipeg pharmacy. Care is delivered entirely remotely, so there is no drive to a clinic across the city and no waiting room. The same evidence-based standards apply whether you live in St. Vital, Transcona, River Heights, or a community outside the Perimeter Highway. No family-doctor referral is needed, appointments are usually available forin a few business days, and your visit is documented like any clinical encounter.
- Book a virtual video or phone appointment, no referral required.
- Complete a medical intake and share or arrange bloodwork.
- Receive a prescription you fill at any Winnipeg pharmacy.
- Continue with scheduled follow-ups for titration and monitoring.
GLP-1 Medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
GLP-1 receptor agonists are the cornerstone of modern medical weight management. They reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and help regulate blood sugar. Your doctor matches the medication to your clinical picture, considering your health profile, pharmacy availability, and current supply. Each is a once-weekly injection with a gradually increasing dose to limit nausea and other early side effects. These are prescription medications and are not appropriate for everyone; your doctor will review your history, screen for contraindications, and explain the benefits and risks before prescribing.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is the on-label semaglutide approved by Health Canada for chronic weight management; supply has been intermittent at times.
- Ozempic (semaglutide) is approved for type 2 diabetes and is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight management when clinically justified.
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with the highest weight-loss data in head-to-head trials.
- All three are once-weekly subcutaneous injections, titrated slowly to improve tolerability.
Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss
Clinical suitability follows Obesity Canada's 2020 Clinical Practice Guidelines. During your virtual visit, the doctor calculates your BMI, screens for weight-related conditions, and reviews your medical history to determine whether a GLP-1 medication is safe and appropriate. Off-label prescribing for weight loss is legal in Canada when clinically justified. Not everyone qualifies, and the goal is safe, effective, long-term care rather than a one-off prescription.
- 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 condition such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- 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.
- A willingness to attend follow-up appointments for monitoring and dose adjustment.
Medication Access and Pharmacy Steps in Manitoba
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.
- During the appointment itself, medication options, pharmacy logistics, and follow-up are all covered with your doctor. What it takes to access and dispense a medication varies with the drug, dose, supply situation, and your pharmacy's own process. Dispensing happens at your pharmacy, not through TelePlus Care - check with your pharmacist about pickup timing and any paperwork your plan needs.
- Your doctor reviews medication options, pharmacy steps, and follow-up needs during the appointment
- Medication choices, how the pharmacy handoff works, and what follow-up you need are all part of the visit conversation. Access and dispensing details differ by medication, dose, current supply, and how your particular pharmacy operates. Your pharmacy, not TelePlus Care, dispenses the medication - they can tell you when it will be ready and what your plan requires.
- Confirm pharmacy-specific next steps with your pharmacist using the medication's DIN before you begin.
Why Choose Medical Weight Management Over Fad Diets
Fad diets, detox programs, and unregulated supplements rarely produce lasting results, and many people regain the weight once the restriction ends. Obesity is now recognized as a chronic medical condition, not a failure of willpower, and it responds best to evidence-based clinical care. Medical weight management combines a proper diagnosis, screening for underlying contributors, prescription medication where appropriate, and ongoing professional support. GLP-1 medications work best when paired with sustainable changes in nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress, and a doctor can help you build a realistic plan rather than an extreme one. Just as important, medical care includes safety monitoring: your doctor watches for side effects, adjusts your dose over time, and reviews your progress at structured intervals. This longitudinal approach, rather than a single prescription or a short-term diet, is what supports durable, healthier outcomes for Winnipeg patients.
