How Your Weight Loss Program Works

We have a simple three step process for your GLP-1 evaluation.

Step – 1

Step – 2

Meet With a Licensed Clinician

Meet with a licensed healthcare provider by video or audio to assess your medical history, BMI (when applicable), and eligibility for GLP-1 treatment.

Step – 3

Receive a Prescription (If Clinically Appropriate)

If clinically appropriate, your clinician issues a prescription and treatment plan, with guidance on filling it through a licensed pharmacy. A provider–patient relationship is established before any prescription is issued.

What is Ozempic® used for?

Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic®?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic®. It is a brand-name medication containing semaglutide, primarily prescribed for type 2 diabetes management.

How do GLP-1 medications like semaglutide support weight management?

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide support weight management by reducing appetite, slowing stomach emptying, and improving blood sugar regulation, which helps lower calorie intake and promote gradual, sustained weight loss.

How long does it typically take to notice weight changes on semaglutide?

Many patients begin noticing appetite changes within the first few weeks, with measurable weight changes typically occurring after 4 to 8 weeks, depending on dosage, lifestyle factors, and individual response.

How much weight can someone lose in the first month on semaglutide?

Weight loss in the first month varies, but many patients lose a small percentage of body weight as the starting dose is designed to help the body adjust rather than maximize weight reduction.

What is the typical dosing schedule for GLP-1 injections?

Most GLP-1 injections are taken once weekly, except some medications like Rybelsus or Liraglutides. Starting at a lower dose and gradually increasing every 4 weeks to improve tolerability and reduce side effects under medical supervision.

How many doses are included in a GLP-1 injection pen?

Most GLP-1 injection pens are single-use and contain one weekly dose. Some brands offer multi-dose pens, but dosing depends on the specific medication and prescribed strength.

Where should GLP-1 injections be administered?

GLP-1 injections are given subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Injection sites should be rotated weekly to reduce irritation and improve absorption.

What are the most common side effects of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, and mild injection-site reactions. These symptoms often improve as the body adjusts to treatment.

Are there any foods I should avoid while taking GLP-1 medication?

There are no strict food restrictions, but high-fat, greasy, or large meals may worsen nausea. Smaller, balanced meals are generally better tolerated.

Can alcohol be consumed while using GLP-1 medications?

Alcohol is not strictly prohibited, but it may increase nausea, worsen side effects, and affect blood sugar levels. Moderate consumption should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

How should semaglutide be stored?

Semaglutide should be stored in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) before first use. After opening, some pens may be kept at room temperature per manufacturer guidelines.

How long can semaglutide remain outside the refrigerator?

Depending on the brand, semaglutide can typically remain at room temperature (below 86°F) for up to 28 days after first use. Always follow the specific storage instructions provided with your medication.

Who is eligible for GLP-1 weight management treatment?

GLP-1 weight management treatment is generally prescribed for adults with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related medical condition, following evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider.

Can GLP-1 medications be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

GLP-1 medications are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patients planning pregnancy or who are nursing should discuss alternative options with their healthcare provider.
