Common Side Effects
Begin with a low dose. You may notice reduced appetite and mild GI symptoms as your body adjusts.
Gradually increase to therapeutic dose. Appetite suppression becomes more noticeable. Some patients see 3-5 lbs lost.
Full therapeutic effect kicks in. Expect steady weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week. Cravings significantly reduced.
Most patients reach 10-15% body weight loss. Energy improves. Clothing fits differently. Lab markers may improve.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists mimic a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They slow stomach emptying, reduce hunger signals to your brain, and help you feel satisfied with smaller portions.
Generally, candidates have a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes), or a BMI of 30+. Our providers will review your complete health history to determine if you're a good fit.
Clinical studies show average weight loss of 10-20% of body weight over 12-16 weeks. Results vary based on starting weight, lifestyle factors, and medication compliance. Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 2 weeks.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide contain the same active ingredients as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound®. They're prepared by FDA-registered 503A compounding pharmacies when brand-name medications are in shortage or cost-prohibitive.
The most common side effects are GI-related: nausea, constipation, and decreased appetite. These typically improve as your body adjusts. Starting with a low dose and titrating slowly helps minimize side effects.
GLP-1 medications work while you take them. Many patients use them for 6-12 months to reach their goal, then work with their provider on a maintenance plan. Some continue long-term for weight maintenance.
