  • A treatment plan prescribed for you, if - and only if - it's the right call

  • Discreet delivery, anywhere in South Africa
  • Ongoing clinical review for as long as you're on treatment

One process. Every base covered.

Common side effects include nausea and digestive upset, usually easing as your dose is adjusted. Not suitable with a personal or family history of certain thyroid cancers, or pancreatitis. Your doctor screens for this before prescribing.

Two reasons. First, the law: South African rules on describing prescription medicines to the public are strict, stricter still for anything a pharmacy compounds for one named patient. Second, the honest one: what a treatment does for you depends on your history, exam and results - easy to get wrong from a web page, which is exactly why we don't try.

Treatment is one part of it. The rest is you.

Your discipline, training, nutrition, hydration and how you carry stress are foundational in discovering the best version of you.

How Oryx Works

1
Tell us about yourself
Complete a private online assessment. It takes about five minutes. If blood tests are needed, you get a request form for your nearest pathology lab at this point, so your results are ready for your consultation.
2
Consult With A Doctor
Book the next available slot through our booking system, in a couple of clicks. Your consultation is a video call with a South African doctor registered with the HPCSA. They take a full history, go through any results with you, and give you a straight answer about what you have come in with. 
3
Build Your Plan
Your doctor shares your treatment plan with you straight after the consultation, not days later. You see exactly what it costs before you pay, and nothing is dispensed until you do.
4
Stay on track
Your treatment is prepared by a licensed South African pharmacy and delivered to your door, plain and unmarked, anywhere in South Africa. Orders usually arrive within two business days. Your doctor reviews you as you go, and adjusts what needs adjusting.
Meet the doctors
Real doctors. HPCSA-registered. Every time.

FAQs

You start with an online assessment, followed by a consultation with a South African doctor. If appropriate, your doctor prescribes and monitors treatment, adjusting your plan as you go.
Eligibility is decided by an Oryx doctor at your consultation, based on your health history and goals. (placeholder -- exact criteria not yet set)
No - and we'd rather turn you away than prescribe something you don't need. If our doctor doesn't put you on a treatment plan, we'll see you again completely free, in six months. That's the deal.
Depends on your scheme and your treatment - some plans contribute, some don't. Check with your medical aid first. Don't assume either way and get caught out.
