Elevate Now vs ALTRcare: Medicine Included, Price on the Page, Three Senior Specialists, No Sales Calls
Elevate Now quotes you a price on a call, puts a health coach in front of an assigned physician, and does not say publicly whether the medicine is in the fee. ALTRcare puts the price on the page, the medicine in the price, and a senior endocrinologist, internal medicine consultant or diabetologist directly on your WhatsApp. Here is the comparison.
ALTRcare Medical Team
Clinical Editorial
Elevate Now and ALTRcare both describe themselves as doctor-led and both prescribe GLP-1 medication when it fits. The difference is what sits between you and the doctor, and what sits inside the price. At ALTRcare nothing sits between you and a senior specialist, and the medicine sits inside a price you can read before you talk to anyone. We are ALTRcare; every figure below is dated so you can check it.
Key takeaways
- ALTRcare: ₹10,999 for 3 months, ₹21,998 for 6 months of semaglutide, medication, senior specialist, monthly reviews and cold-chain delivery included, GST included, on the pricing page.
- Elevate Now: price quoted after an assessment call, not published. Whether GLP-1 medication is inside the fee is not stated on their site.
- ALTRcare: one of three senior specialists, the same one every month, directly on WhatsApp. Elevate Now: a health coach day to day, a physician assigned behind.
- ALTRcare has no sales team, no follow-up calls, no haggling.

Three senior specialists. No junior doctors, ever.
Every ALTRcare consultation is with one of three senior specialists, and the one who sees you first sees you every month after. Dr. Mujeeb Afzal, MD, DM Endocrinology, consultant endocrinologist, for the hormonal and thyroid side of weight. Dr. (Major) Bhavesh Talera, MRCP-MD (UK), FRCP, consultant in internal medicine, for the gut, liver, heart and everything a GLP-1 touches. Dr. Archana Rathi, diabetologist and medicine specialist, ex-Registrar at Bombay Hospital, for diabetes, PCOS and women's health. Between them the bench covers endocrinology, gastroenterology-level side-effect care, diabetes and women's health. There is no junior doctor, no rotating panel, no coach relaying your question to someone you have not met.
How we sell, because it is part of the care
The price is on the page before you speak to anyone. The assessment is free, the doctor consultation is free, and if the doctor thinks medication is not right for you, you are told so plainly and that is the end of it. There is no sales team. Nobody calls three times a day, nobody offers a limited-time price, nobody haggles, and if you say no or not now, you will not hear from us again unless you message us. We think a medical decision deserves quiet, and we think it is why our patients stay for the six months a result takes.
Where Elevate Now is a fair choice
Elevate Now runs a diagnostics-first programme: a blood panel and a continuous glucose monitor as standard, a coach checking in daily, programmes that can run two years, and a gastric balloon option. If you want all of that and you are comfortable learning the price on a call, it is a real programme. Before you pay, ask three things: is GLP-1 medication inside the fee, will the same physician review me every month, and what is the six-month total in writing. Our answers are yes, yes, and ₹21,998.
