A doctor-led model, not an online shop
mobivIVe is built around the principle that prescription treatments should be prescribed and supervised by a doctor, not simply sold. Clients complete a medical questionnaire that Dr van Zyl reviews, with a telephone or virtual consultation arranged when screening calls for one, and always for GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. Treatment is then dispensed on a valid script and couriered nationwide.
