Frequently Asked Questions
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are administered as once-weekly injections using a pre-filled pen device. The injections are given subcutaneously (under the skin) in areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our medical team will provide thorough training on how to properly self-administer these medications.
Common side effects of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These effects are typically mild to moderate and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it helps minimize these effects. Our medical team will closely monitor you for any side effects and provide guidance on managing them.
Most patients begin to notice weight loss within the first 4 weeks of treatment. Significant results typically become apparent after 2-3 months of consistent use. The rate of weight loss varies from person to person based on individual factors such as starting weight, metabolism, adherence to dietary recommendations, and physical activity level.
Insurance coverage for weight loss medications varies widely depending on your specific plan, the medication prescribed, and whether you have qualifying medical conditions. Some insurance plans cover these medications when prescribed for type 2 diabetes but may not cover them when used specifically for weight management. Our staff can help check your insurance coverage and discuss payment options if needed.
Weight management medications are typically considered long-term treatments, especially for those with significant obesity or obesity-related health conditions. However, the duration of treatment is individualized and will depend on your specific circumstances, goals, and response to treatment. Some patients may eventually transition to a maintenance dose or discontinue medication after establishing sustainable lifestyle changes. This decision will be made in consultation with your healthcare provider.
Some weight regain is common after discontinuing these medications. However, the extent of regain varies and can be minimized through established healthy eating patterns, regular physical activity, and ongoing behavioral strategies developed during treatment. Our program focuses on helping you develop sustainable lifestyle habits alongside medication to improve long-term outcomes.
For optimal results, we recommend incorporating healthy dietary changes (such as increasing protein and fiber intake, limiting processed foods and added sugars) and regular physical activity (aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week). These medications work best when combined with lifestyle modifications, and our team will provide personalized guidance on these changes based on your individual needs and preferences.
