This page contains important safety information regarding certain prescription treatments that may be discussed, prescribed, or otherwise made accessible through independent licensed healthcare providers using the Koves platform. This information is provided for general educational and safety purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice from your healthcare provider. Links to official FDA, DailyMed, manufacturer prescribing information, and other authoritative safety resources are provided throughout this page.
Prescription treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Treatment eligibility, medication selection, dosage, formulation, and duration of treatment are determined solely by the treating licensed healthcare provider exercising independent professional medical judgment.
Tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, allergies, current and previous medical conditions, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, supplements, and any other substances you use before beginning treatment.
If you experience a side effect or suspected adverse reaction, promptly contact your licensed healthcare provider and, when appropriate, the pharmacy that dispensed your medication.
Adverse events or quality problems involving prescription medications may also be reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through FDA MedWatch.
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency or a serious or life-threatening reaction, call 911 or seek immediate emergency medical care. Do not rely on Koves customer support, email, SMS, or website messaging for emergency medical care.
Koves's Role
Koves LLC is not a medical practice, pharmacy, or healthcare provider.
Koves operates a technology and administrative platform that facilitates access to independent licensed healthcare providers and, when applicable, independent licensed pharmacies.
Koves does not:
- practice medicine;
- diagnose medical conditions;
- determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate;
- prescribe medications;
- select medication dosages;
- manufacture medications;
- compound medications;
- dispense medications; or
- control the independent professional judgment of licensed healthcare providers.
All medical evaluations, diagnoses, treatment recommendations, prescribing decisions, treatment plans, monitoring, and other clinical services are performed by independent licensed healthcare professionals.
Any prescription is issued only when a licensed healthcare provider determines that treatment is medically appropriate for the individual patient.
Prescriptions and Treatment Eligibility
Prescription medications require evaluation and approval by an appropriately licensed healthcare provider.
Accessing Koves, completing an intake form, enrolling in a program, submitting payment information, or requesting a medication does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued.
A healthcare provider may determine that:
- you are not eligible for treatment;
- a requested medication is not appropriate;
- a different medication or treatment is more appropriate;
- additional medical information is required;
- laboratory testing is required;
- an in-person evaluation is required;
- your treatment should be modified;
- your treatment should be discontinued; or
- you should seek treatment from another healthcare professional.
Compounded Medications
Some independent healthcare providers accessible through Koves may prescribe compounded medications when they determine that doing so is clinically appropriate and legally permitted.
Compounded medications do not undergo FDA premarket review.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not review compounded medications before they are marketed to verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality in the same manner as commercially manufactured drug products.
Compounded medications may differ from commercially available products in formulation, concentration, inactive ingredients, packaging, stability, route of administration, or other characteristics.
A compounded medication should not be presumed to be equivalent to a commercially manufactured prescription medication.
The availability of compounded medications may change based on applicable law, regulatory requirements, pharmacy availability, ingredient availability, clinical circumstances, and other factors.
Your healthcare provider can discuss whether a commercially manufactured treatment or compounded medication is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Medication Instructions
Medication formulations, concentrations, dosing schedules, and administration instructions may vary between patients and dispensing pharmacies.
Always follow the prescription label, instructions provided by the dispensing pharmacy, and instructions from your licensed healthcare provider.
Do not increase, decrease, discontinue, combine, transfer, or otherwise change your prescribed treatment without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Weight-Management Medications
Weight-management medications may have overlapping active ingredients but different labeled indications, dosage forms, strengths, administration instructions, and safety labeling. Do not substitute one branded product or presentation for another unless your licensed healthcare provider and dispensing pharmacy specifically direct you to do so.
Wegovy® Injection (semaglutide)
Wegovy injection is a prescription semaglutide GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy carries a boxed warning regarding the potential risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Do not use Wegovy if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you have had a serious hypersensitivity reaction to semaglutide or an ingredient in the product.
Serious risks can include acute pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, hypoglycemia when used with insulin or certain diabetes medicines, acute kidney injury due to dehydration, severe gastrointestinal reactions, serious allergic reactions, diabetic retinopathy complications in some people with type 2 diabetes, increased resting heart rate, and pulmonary aspiration during general anesthesia or deep sedation because semaglutide delays gastric emptying. Wegovy is not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis. Tell every healthcare professional involved in a planned procedure or surgery that you are taking Wegovy.
Common adverse effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, indigestion, dizziness, abdominal distension, burping, gas, reflux, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Weight-loss treatment should generally be stopped when pregnancy is recognized; discuss pregnancy planning with your healthcare provider.

Zepbound® KwikPen® (tirzepatide)
Zepbound KwikPen is a single-patient-use multi-dose presentation of tirzepatide. The medication risks are the same core tirzepatide risks described for other Zepbound presentations below. Zepbound carries a boxed warning for risk of thyroid C-cell tumors observed in rats; the human relevance is unknown. Do not use Zepbound if you or a family member has a history of MTC, if you have MEN 2, or if you have had a serious hypersensitivity reaction to tirzepatide or an ingredient in the product.
Never share a Zepbound KwikPen between patients, even if the pen needle is changed. Sharing can create a risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens. Use a new compatible pen needle for each injection and follow the Instructions for Use supplied with the exact device dispensed to you.
Tirzepatide can cause severe gastrointestinal reactions and is not recommended in people with severe gastroparesis. Other serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, dehydration-related kidney injury, hypoglycemia when combined with certain glucose-lowering medicines, serious hypersensitivity reactions, diabetic retinopathy complications in some people with type 2 diabetes, and pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia or deep sedation. Tirzepatide delays gastric emptying and can affect absorption of oral medicines.
Zepbound may reduce the effectiveness of oral hormonal contraceptives after treatment is started and after dose increases. Patients using oral hormonal contraceptives should discuss temporary use of a non-oral method or an additional barrier method with their healthcare provider. Zepbound may cause fetal harm and should be discontinued when pregnancy is recognized.

Zepbound® Single-Dose Pen (tirzepatide)
The single-dose Zepbound autoinjector contains tirzepatide for one subcutaneous dose. The boxed thyroid tumor warning, contraindications, pregnancy precautions, medication interactions, and serious adverse-reaction profile described above for tirzepatide apply. Do not reuse a single-dose pen and follow the manufacturer Instructions for Use for the exact strength dispensed.
Official resource: Zepbound U.S. Prescribing Information
Zepbound® Vial (tirzepatide)
Zepbound is available in vial presentations. Depending on the product dispensed, a vial may be single-dose or part of a multi-dose presentation. The same core tirzepatide warnings and contraindications described above apply. Vials require careful measurement and administration; use only the syringe, needle, volume, and technique directed by the dispensing pharmacy, Instructions for Use, and your licensed healthcare provider. Never estimate a dose or transfer instructions from a different concentration or presentation.

Ozempic® (semaglutide)
Ozempic is a prescription semaglutide injection for type 2 diabetes and certain cardiovascular and kidney-risk indications in eligible adults. Ozempic is not the same product or indication as Wegovy. If a licensed healthcare provider prescribes Ozempic, follow the Ozempic label and individualized treatment plan rather than instructions for another semaglutide product.
Ozempic carries a boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors observed in rodents and is contraindicated in people with a personal or family history of MTC, MEN 2, or a serious hypersensitivity to semaglutide. Serious risks include pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy complications, hypoglycemia when combined with insulin or certain diabetes medicines, dehydration-related kidney injury, severe gastrointestinal reactions, serious allergic reactions, gallbladder disease, and pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia or deep sedation. Never share an Ozempic pen between patients, even if the needle is changed.

Tell your provider about heart disease, blood-pressure problems, recent heart attack or stroke, vision or hearing disorders, bleeding disorders, penile anatomical conditions, kidney or liver disease, and every prescription, over-the-counter, recreational, and supplement product you use.
Sildenafil
Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction in appropriately selected patients. Do not use sildenafil with nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Sildenafil is also contraindicated with guanylate-cyclase stimulators such as riociguat.
Use caution with alpha-blockers, antihypertensives, substantial alcohol intake, and medicines that strongly affect CYP3A4. Serious adverse effects can include symptomatic hypotension, an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), sudden vision loss associated with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), and sudden decrease or loss of hearing. Common effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, visual changes, dizziness, and back or muscle pain. Seek emergency care for an erection lasting more than 4 hours.
Official resource: DailyMed sildenafil Label
Tadalafil
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction in appropriately selected patients. Do not use tadalafil with nitrates, and do not use it with guanylate-cyclase stimulators such as riociguat. The same major PDE5-inhibitor warnings regarding hypotension, priapism, sudden vision loss, and sudden hearing loss apply.
Because tadalafil has a longer duration of action than some other PDE5 inhibitors, clinically important interactions may persist after a dose. Tell emergency and other healthcare professionals when tadalafil was last taken, especially if nitrate treatment might otherwise be considered. Use caution with alpha-blockers, antihypertensives, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, kidney or liver impairment, and substantial alcohol use.
