Safety
What to know about GLP-1 medications
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications with real risks. Your provider will go over the full prescribing information with you before you start. In plain language:
Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion and reactions at the injection site. These are often worse when starting or increasing a dose.
Serious risks
These medications carry a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors seen in animal studies. Other serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with other diabetes medications), kidney problems from dehydration, and allergic reactions. Get medical care right away for severe stomach pain, a lump or swelling in your neck, trouble swallowing, or signs of an allergic reaction.
You may not qualify if you have
- A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- A history of pancreatitis
- Type 1 diabetes
- Pregnancy, plans to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
Ask your provider whether your medication is an FDA-approved brand-name product or a compounded medication, and which pharmacy it comes from. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
Optional add-ons

Weight loss questions
Do I qualify?
Generally you need a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea or high cholesterol. Your provider makes the final decision after reviewing your history and labs.
Do I need labs?
Yes. We need labs from the last 3 months. If you do not have them, we will order them and you can have them drawn at any Labcorp location.
Is the medication shipped to me?
Depending on the option, you can pick up in clinic or have your medication shipped to your home. Your provider will go over this at your consultation.
What happens when I reach my goal?
We focus on keeping healthy habits in place. Depending on your situation, your provider may recommend a lower maintenance dose, a different option, or stopping medication.
How do follow-ups work?
Each month includes a follow-up visit, in clinic or by telehealth. Labs are repeated every 3 months.
