Common FAQS
-
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists that mimic the effects of natural hormones involved in appetite control and insulin regulation. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and improve insulin sensitivity—making it easier to feel full and eat less. This dual-action support helps patients manage both blood sugar and weight effectively.
-
Weight loss results vary by individual, but clinical studies show that many patients can lose up to 15-20% of their body weight with consistent use and healthy lifestyle changes. Our team will help set realistic goals based on your unique health profile and track your progress closely.
-
Most patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks, with more significant results typically appearing after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use. Long-term success is supported by ongoing treatment, nutrition counseling, and follow-up visits with our providers.
-
The most common side effects are mild and typically improve with time. These include nausea, diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Serious side effects are rare but will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
-
While both medications are effective for weight management and blood sugar control, they have some key differences. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been used successfully for years to help patients manage appetite and improve metabolic health. Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering a slightly different mechanism of action. Semaglutide is often a great option for individuals who prefer a well-established treatment with a strong safety profile, especially those just beginning their weight loss journey or looking for a steady, manageable approach.
