Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose GLP-1 Medication?
GLP-1 Medication promotes weight loss by slowing gastric emptying, regulating blood sugar, and reducing appetite.

Is GLP-1 Medication Right for me?
Certain medical conditions, such as a history of thyroid or endocrine cancer, pancreatitis, or Type 1 diabetes, may make GLP-1 Medication unsuitable for you. Consult with our medical professionals to determine if GLP-1 Medication is the right choice for your weight loss journey.

How does GLP-1 Medication work?
GLP-1 Medication works by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It increases insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion, both of which help lower blood sugar. Additionally, it slows down the movement of food through the stomach, which can help control appetite and lead to weight loss.
How is GLP-1 Medication administered?
GLP-1 Medication is available as a subcutaneous injection, which means it is injected under the skin. It is typically administered once a week, with a starting dose that may be increased over time based on individual needs and response to the medication.
Are there any side effects associated with GLP-1 Medication?
Some common side effects of GLP-1 Medication include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These side effects are generally mild to moderate and tend to improve over time. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Not everyone experiences these side effects. Our GLP-1 Medication is compounded with B12 for energy, which helps reduce side effects.
Can I take GLP-1 Medication if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is not recommended to use GLP-1 Medication during pregnancy, as its safety and efficacy have not been established in pregnant individuals. If you are breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using GLP-1 Medication, as it is not known if the medication passes into breast milk.
Can I take GLP-1 Medication with other medications?
GLP-1 Medication may interact with other medications, including oral diabetes medications, insulin, and some blood pressure medications. Always inform our medical providers of all medications you are currently taking to ensure there are no potential interactions.
How long does it take to see results from GLP-1 Medication?
Results from GLP-1 Medication may vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice improvements in blood sugar levels within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Weight loss can also vary, with some people experiencing gradual weight loss over several months. It is essential to follow our medical provider’s recommendations and maintain a healthy lifestyle to achieve the best results.
Is GLP-1 Medication covered by insurance?
Coverage for GLP-1 Medication varies depending on your insurance plan. Some plans may cover the medication partially or fully, while others may require prior authorization. Contact your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage. We are a private pay medical office that does not accept insurance. Some insurance plans do cover GLP-1 Medication, but coverage for weight loss treatments can vary.
Are There Any Cardiovascular Risks With GLP-1 Medication?
For most people with heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 Medication lowers the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Does GLP-1 Medication Help With My A1C Numbers?
GLP-1 Medication helps reduce A1C. Most people taking GLP-1 Medication see their A1C numbers decrease to a healthy level of under 7%.
