Yes, you can see a doctor about Mounjaro or semaglutide online for free in India. ALTRcare's free consultation is a 15–20 minute video call with a senior specialist, no payment to book. Here is what should happen on a good one, and the warning signs of a bad one.
ALTRcare Medical Team
Clinical Editorial
You can talk to a doctor about GLP-1 medication, including Mounjaro and semaglutide, online and for free in India. At ALTRcare the free online doctor consultation is a 15–20 minute Google Meet video call with one of four senior specialists. There is no fee to book and nothing to pay on the call. You pay only if the doctor recommends a plan and you choose to start.
Key takeaways
- A free consultation should still be a real consultation: a video call with a registered doctor who takes your history, not a form that auto-approves you.
- The doctor should check your BMI and waist, your conditions, your current medicines and anything that rules a GLP-1 out.
- You should leave with a clear answer: which medicine, which starting dose, the exact price, or an honest "this is not for you".
- Online prescribing is legal in India under the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020.
- At ALTRcare nobody chases you afterwards. There is no sales team.
Why the consultation is free
Because the most useful thing we can do before you spend ₹10,999 or ₹34,999 is tell you whether the medicine fits your body. Many people who ask about Mounjaro are better started on semaglutide. Some should not take either. A few need a blood test first. None of that should cost you money to find out.
What a good free consultation covers
- 1Your numbers. Weight, height, BMI on Indian cutoffs, and waist size, which predicts metabolic risk in Indians better than BMI alone.
- 2Your conditions. Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, thyroid, blood pressure, sleep apnoea.
- 3Your medicines. Especially insulin or sulfonylureas (hypoglycaemia risk), and oral contraceptives (which can be less reliable for four weeks after starting tirzepatide and after each dose increase).
- 4What rules it out. A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2, pregnancy or trying to conceive, past pancreatitis. See who should not take Mounjaro.
- 5Which medicine and why. Semaglutide or tirzepatide (Mounjaro or Yurpeak), explained in plain language.
- 6The plan and the price. Starting dose, how it will go up, and the total cost, in writing.
Bring these if you have them
Any blood reports from the last six months (HbA1c, lipids, thyroid, liver, kidney), a list of the medicines you take, and your honest goal. Reports are not required to book.
Red flags in a "free consultation"
- No video, no call. A form, then a prescription. That is not a consultation.
- A sales call dressed as a medical one. Discount deadlines, pressure to pay today, repeated calls after you say no.
- The price only after you pay. A good service shows the price before you talk to anyone.
- "Generic" or "compounded" tirzepatide. There is no approved generic tirzepatide in India.
- Nobody asks what you already take. Drug interactions and contraindications are the whole point of seeing a doctor.
Book your free consultation
Two minutes to book. A health coach calls once to note your details, then 15–20 minutes on video with a senior specialist.

Every consultation is with one of four doctors. Dr. Mujeeb Afzal, MD, DM Endocrinology, for the hormonal and thyroid side of weight. Dr. (Major) Bhavesh Talera, MD, MRCP (UK), FRCP, consultant in internal medicine, for the gut, liver, heart and everything a GLP-1 touches.

If you decide to start
| 1 month | 3 months | |
|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide (Mounjaro or Yurpeak) | ₹13,999 (2.5 mg starting dose) | ₹34,999: all 3 doses, 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 mg |
| Semaglutide (generic) | ₹3,999 | ₹10,999: all 3 doses, 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 mg |
The tirzepatide 3-month plan costs ₹15,157 less than the same three months of Mounjaro at pharmacy MRP (₹50,156), and the doctor is included. The comparison is in Mounjaro 3-month cost: plans compared. Our doctors manage your weight-loss medication; your thyroid, blood pressure and other long-term medicines stay with your own doctor.
