Frequently Asked

Still have questions?

Short, direct answers — from intake to side effects.

What is GLP-1 therapy?
GLP-1 therapy uses a class of prescription medications that may help regulate appetite and support metabolic health. It is used under medical supervision as part of a clinician-guided weight management plan.
How does GLP-1 help with weight loss?
GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone that signals fullness and slows stomach emptying, which can reduce appetite and food intake. Combined with lifestyle changes, many patients experience meaningful weight reduction over time.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. GLP-1 medications are prescription-only. A licensed clinician reviews your intake and determines whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Is it safe?
When prescribed by a licensed clinician and used as directed, GLP-1 therapy is generally considered well-tolerated. All prescribing decisions are individualized.
Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. They may be prescribed by clinicians and prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies when appropriate.
How long does it take to start working?
Patients often notice appetite changes within the first one to two weeks. Meaningful weight changes typically emerge over several weeks to months of consistent treatment.
Who should not take it?
GLP-1 therapy is not appropriate for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2, pregnancy, or certain other conditions. Your clinician will screen for these during intake.
What are the common side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, reduced appetite, constipation, and mild GI discomfort, particularly during dose adjustments. Most improve over time. Contact your clinician if symptoms are severe or persistent.
