Our Fees and Services
Can I use health insurance for my visits?
Currently, we operate on a transparent, cash-pay model to keep our services affordable and straightforward.
What can I be expected to pay when I am prescribed medication?
Our patients pay the $30 consultation fee for asynchronous consultations and the cost of medication, with taxes. There are no hidden or surprise charges, and shipping is always free.
Why does Aria Health charge consultation fees?
To ensure the highest standard of clinical integrity, 100% of your consultation fee is paid directly to our independent partner physician group. Aria Health does not retain any portion of the medical consultation fee.
Why does Aria Health separate the consultation fee from the medication cost?
We separate these costs to maintain absolute clinical integrity. By ensuring that 100% of your consultation fee goes directly to our independent partner physician group, we guarantee that your healthcare provider’s medical judgment remains completely unbiased and focused solely on your health needs, entirely free from any financial influence related to the sale of prescriptions.
Why does the separation of fees matter?
First, Clinical Legitimacy. Your evaluation is conducted by licensed providers who are compensated for their expertise, not for the outcome of their diagnosis. Second, Ethical Standards. This model eliminates “per-prescription” incentives, ensuring you only receive treatment if it is medically necessary. Third, Consumer Trust. We believe in a transparent no-membership model where you pay for professional services and products separately, with no hidden kickbacks or subscription traps.
Are the medications you prescribe FDA-approved?
We prescribe both commercially available FDA-approved medications and custom-compounded treatments. While compounded treatments themselves are not evaluated by the FDA as a final product, they are formulated using strictly FDA-approved ingredients and are prepared in state-licensed, FDA-inspected compounding pharmacies.
Who actually fills and ships my prescription?
Your prescriptions are handled by our pharmacy partners. They securely handle packages and ship your medications directly to your door.
How do I know the mail-order pharmacy is safe and legitimate?
They hold a 50-state licensing footprint, meaning they have been legally approved to operate by the Board of Pharmacy in every applicable state. They are also fully verified by LegitScript, which is the gold standard for certifying safe, legally compliant online healthcare and pharmacy services.
How do you guarantee the quality and purity of the medications?
Every single product line sourced through our network is COA Verified. A COA (Certificate of Analysis) is an independent, lab-tested document that confirms each specific batch of medication meets exact standards for chemical purity, strength, and overall safety.
What rules do the pharmacies follow when making customized medications?
All personalized formulas are prepared in strict medical cleanroom environments that observe rigorous national standards:
- USP <795>: The official safety guideline for preparing high-quality, non-sterile customized compounds.
- USP <800>: The strict national safety protocol for handling ingredients safely to protect both the pharmacy staff and the patient.
How do my doctor's prescriptions securely get to the pharmacy?
The system utilizes a secure, industry-standard e-prescribing network. This functions like a secure digital highway, passing your prescription directly from your healthcare provider to the pharmacy network instantly and safely, completely eliminating the risk of lost paper scripts or manual errors.
How are the medications shipped to me?
All treatments are fulfilled by and shipped from our network of licensed U.S. pharmacies. Prescriptions are discreetly shipped directly to you in unbranded packaging to ensure your privacy. Medications requiring temperature control are sent with cold packs.
Weight Loss
What is the GLP-1 hormone?
GLP-1 (which stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a natural metabolic hormone produced in our intestines and released primarily after we eat. It plays a critical role in regulating your appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels.
How does the GLP-1 hormone function?
In our bodies, it essentially acts as a chemical messenger between the brain, stomach, and pancreas and liver to manage how food and energy are processed.
How does GLP-1 signal my brain?
GLP-1 travels to the brain and signals that you have eaten and are full, which effectively curbs your appetite, lowers cravings, and quiets constant thoughts about food (often referred to as “food noise”).
How does GLP-1 work with my gut?
GLP-1 slows down gastric emptying, which is the rate at which food leaves your stomach and enters your small intestine. By keeping food in your stomach longer, GLP-1 extends the physical feeling of fullness after a meal.
How does GLP-1 interact with my pancreas and liver?
GLP-1 boosts Insulin. When your blood sugar rises after eating, GLP-1 triggers your pancreas to release the right amount of insulin to move glucose out of your blood and into your cells for energy. It also suppresses glucagon, stopping your liver from releasing unnecessary stored sugar into your bloodstream.
Why is it a major topic in medicine?
Natural, human-produced GLP-1 only lasts in the body for a few minutes before an enzyme breaks it down. Weight loss and type 2 diabetes medications (known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Semaglutide) are engineered to mimic this natural hormone but are structurally modified to resist being broken down. This allows them to stay active in your system for days, giving you a continuous, sustained version of these natural “fullness” signals.
What are the direct effects of semaglutide?
Semaglutide mimics the naturally occurring GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone in your body to help regulate appetite, slow down digestion, and manage blood sugar levels, which leads to feeling fuller for longer periods.
How are GLP-1 medications administered?
Both are administered via a weekly, self-administered subcutaneous (below the skin) injection using a very fine and small needle.
Do I need to stay on GLP-1 medications permanently?
Obesity is clinically treated as a chronic condition. While some patients transition off with sustained lifestyle changes, others may regain weight upon discontinuation. Your provider will monitor your progress through secure, ongoing evaluations to determine your safest long-term care plan.
Will I lose muscle mass while taking GLP-1 medications?
Rapid weight loss can involve both fat and muscle tissue. Incorporating adequate protein intake and a strength training routine is generally recommended to help preserve lean muscle mass during your treatment plan.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication, meaning it mimics two different natural hormones in your body to help manage weight and blood sugar, GLP-1 and GIP.
What is the GIP hormone?
GIP, (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide) is a natural hormone released by our intestines whenever we eat. It acts as a smart chemical messenger that tells the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin to process food, but only when our blood sugar is actually high. It also interacts with our fat cells to help our bodies use energy more efficiently instead of storing it as excess fat.
But doesn't GLP-1 already signal the pancreas? What is the difference between them?
Correct, but they do it differently. Here are the differences between the 2 hormones, and how they behave elsewhere:
Action | GLP-1 Hormone | GIP Hormone |
Stomach | Slows down digestion, keeps food in stomach so you feel full | Does not slow digestion, has little to no effect of how stomach empties |
Fat Tissue | No major direct effect on fat cells | Targets fat cells directly and helps them process and store energy safely, making fat tissue healthier and lowering the body’s overall insulin resistance |
Brain | Signals fullness, but with side effects such as nausea or upset stomach | Signals fullness, but actually acts as an anti-nausea agent in the brain, taking the edge off GLP-1 side effects |
How does Tirzepatide work?
By mimicking both hormones, Tirzepatide delivers a stronger weight-loss effect with far fewer stomach side effects.
Are compounded GLP-1 medications safe?
Yes, when evaluated by a licensed provider and sourced from state-licensed, FDA-inspected 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies. These facilities must adhere to strict federal guidelines for medication sterility and active pharmaceutical ingredient potency.
Who should avoid GLP-1 weight loss medications?
You should not use these treatments if you have a personal or family medical history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Patients with a history of pancreatitis or severe gallbladder disease should also avoid GLP-1 receptor agonists.
What are the most common side effects of GLP-1 treatments?
Common side effects are gastrointestinal, such as nausea or stomach cramps, as digestion slows. Prescribers typically start patients on a low dose to minimize these temporary effects.
Sexual Health
Are the ED medications you prescribe FDA-approved?
We offer FDA-approved medications and established treatments, including generic options like compounded medication, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care safely.
What is compounded ED medication?
We work with established compounding pharmacies to create customized medications. This means we offer easy alternatives, at a fraction of the price of branded meds, in tablets or alternative forms like gummies or melting troches.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Even though it’s online, a licensed medical provider must review your health profile to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
How do I get started?
Fill out our quick online health questionnaire. A licensed medical provider will review your answers. If approved, your custom medication is shipped discreetly right to your door.
What ingredients are used in compounding these medications?
Our pharmacy partners use the two most trusted, FDA-approved active ingredients for ED:
- Sildenafil: The active ingredient in Viagra®. It works fast and is great for planned encounters.
- Tadalafil: The active ingredient in Cialis®. It stays in your system longer, earning it the nickname “the weekend pill” because it allows for more spontaneity.
How do these oral ED medications work?
Sildenafil and Tadalafil block the PDE5 enzyme, relaxing blood vessels to increase targeted blood flow during sexual stimulation.
How is Sildenafil taken?
Sildenafil is taken as needed and lasts 4 to 6 hours.
How does Sildenafil work in the body?
Sildenafil works by keeping the blood vessels relaxed and open for longer, making it much easier to get and keep an erection when you are sexually stimulated.
When is the best time to take Sildenafil?
You should take Sildenafil roughly 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity. For the fastest and most effective results, it is best taken on an empty stomach, as a heavy or high-fat meal can delay how quickly your body absorbs it.
How does Tadalafil differ from Sildenafil?
Tadalafil has a longer half-life (up to 36 hours) and can be taken as needed or prescribed as a low-dose daily pill.
Why does Tadalafil stay active so much longer than Sildenafil?
While both medications target and block the exact same PDE5 enzyme to keep blood vessels open, your body breaks down Tadalafil at a much slower rate. This slower breakdown allows the medication to remain active in your system for up to 36 hours.
What is the difference between "As-Needed" and "Daily" Tadalafil?
As-Needed Tadalafil uses a higher dose designed to be taken 30 to 60 minutes before sex to provide strong, targeted support for up to 36 hours. Daily Tadalafil uses a much lower continuous dose taken every day at the same time. This builds a steady, permanent baseline of the medication in your system, completely eliminating the need to plan your encounters in advance.
What is the Sildenafil + Tadalafil combination?
We offer a custom blend treatment that puts both ingredients into a single chewable gummy or troche.
Why combine them?
It gives you the best of both worlds: Sildenafil kicks in quickly to get you ready fast. Tadalafil stays in your system longer so you don’t have to rush.
Will I get an instant erection?
No. These medications do not cause instant, random erections. They only work when you are mentally or physically aroused.
What are the typical side effects of ED medications?
Most people tolerate these well, but some mild side effects can happen. The most common are headaches, flushing (warmth or redness in the face), stuffy nose, mild back pain and/or mild upset stomach.
What is priapism, and is it a risk?
Priapism is a prolonged, painful erection lasting more than four hours. While extremely rare (occurring in less than 0.1% of users), it is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention to prevent tissue damage.
What forms do these medications come in?
Depending on the formulation, we offer tablets, the traditional pill form; troches, small lozenges that dissolve slowly under your tongue or between your cheek and gums; and gummies, soft, chewable treats that make taking your medication simple and discreet.
Why choose a Troche or Gummy?
Medications absorbed through the mouth (like troches and gummies) often enter your system faster than regular pills because they bypass your digestive system.
How to use tablets, troches and gummies, and what do I expect?
Here are the following uses and usual expectations, although it may vary from patient to patient:
Form | When to take | How to take |
Tablet | Swallow with water | 30 to 60 minutes before sex |
Troche | Place under tongue/in cheek and let melt | 15 to 30 minutes before sex |
Gummy | Chew thoroughly and swallow | 15 to 30 minutes before sex |
What does the packaging look like?
Your privacy is our priority. Everything is shipped in a completely plain, unmarked box or mailer. No one will know what is inside but you.
Counter indications
Are there any medications that interact dangerously with PDE5 inhibitors?
Yes. They must never be mixed with nitrates or certain alpha-blockers, as this can cause a sudden, life-threatening drop in blood pressure.
Is it safe to use ED medications if I have high blood pressure?
Generally, ED medications may be prescribed to patients with well-controlled blood pressure. However, combining PDE5 inhibitors with certain blood pressure drugs can cause unsafe hypotensive episodes. It is vital to disclose your complete medical history during your secure intake.
Can I drink alcohol while taking PDE5 inhibitors?
Moderate alcohol consumption is generally acceptable. However, excessive drinking can worsen erectile dysfunction, reduce the medication’s efficacy, and increase the risk of dizziness and low blood pressure.
Hair Loss
How long does it normally take to see visible results for hair loss treatments?
Hair growth cycles move slowly. Visible improvements typically begin after 3 to 4 months of consistent daily use, with peak results appearing between 9 to 12 months. Don’t be alarmed if you notice a slight increase in shedding during the first few weeks—this is a normal, temporary sign that the treatment is working, as new growth pushes out older, resting hairs.
What happens if I stop using my hair loss treatment?
Ongoing use is required to maintain your results. Hair loss treatments work by protecting your follicles from hormone damage. If you discontinue treatment, that hormonal protection stops, your new medication-dependent hair will shed within 3 to 6 months, and your natural progressive hair loss pattern will resume.
How does oral Finasteride (Propecia) stop hair loss?
It inhibits the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone – the hormone that shrinks hair follicles), safely halting hair loss and promoting regrowth in many patients. Oral Finasteride works systemically to lower DHT throughout the body.
How do prescription topical sprays work?
Topical Finasteride is compounded to be applied directly to the scalp, providing localized DHT reduction. Topical formulations appeal to patients looking to minimize systemic exposure. These sprays are often combined with Minoxidil, a vasodilator that increases blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to hair follicles, actively stimulating the growth phase. It is highly effective when used in conjunction with Finasteride.
Why choose a compounded topical spray over an oral pill?
Oral pills are highly effective but work systemically throughout your entire body. Compounded topical sprays allow you to deliver the active ingredients directly to your scalp’s hair follicles. This targeted approach achieves maximum hair-protecting results locally while significantly lowering the risk of system-wide side effects.
How do I apply the compounded topical spray, and will it ruin my hairstyle?
The spray should be applied directly onto a clean, dry scalp in the target thinning areas (not just sprayed onto the hair strands) and gently massaged in. Our custom-compounded topical sprays are formulated to be fast-absorbing, quick-drying, and non-greasy, meaning they easily integrate into your morning or nighttime routine without leaving heavy residue on your hair.
Are these hair loss treatments safe for women?
Finasteride is strictly contraindicated for women of childbearing potential due to severe risks of birth defects if a pregnancy occurs. However, Minoxidil is highly safe and effective for women, though it utilizes a completely different concentration and dosage protocol. Women interested in hair restoration options should complete our dedicated intake form to ensure they are prescribed a formula tailored specifically to their biological profile.
Are the sexual side effects of Finasteride permanent?
No. Clinical studies show that mild sexual side effects (such as a slight drop in libido) occur in only a very small percentage of men (typically less than 2%). For the vast majority of individuals who do experience these temporary effects, they resolve completely either as the body adjusts to the medication or shortly after discontinuing the treatment.
