What to expect: dosing & side effects

GLP-1 medications are given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, starting at a low dose that your provider increases gradually over several weeks to limit side effects. Most Union patients self-inject at home after a short demonstration.

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite and mild injection-site reactions — usually mild and fading over the first few weeks. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues and thyroid concerns; GLP-1s should not be used by people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2. Your provider reviews your full history before prescribing.

Frequently asked questions

GLP-1 treatment in Union, Alabama

Brand-name shots run about $1,000–$1,400/month without insurance in Union. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide via telehealth starts around $199/month all-inclusive. With Alabama insurance coverage, copays can be as low as $25–$50.

Not much. The shots use a short, thin needle (4–5 mm) injected just under the skin, and most patients describe it as a quick pinch. Your Union provider or clinic will show you how to self-inject, rotating between the abdomen, thigh and upper arm.

Clinical trials show tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) produces greater average weight loss (up to ~22.5% of body weight) than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy, ~15–17%). Tirzepatide activates two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) versus one for semaglutide. Both are highly effective; your Union provider helps choose based on your history and goals.

GLP-1 medications are given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection with a small, thin needle — either a prefilled pen or a vial and syringe. They slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite and signal fullness to the brain. Most Union patients self-inject at home after a quick demonstration; all supplies are included.

Compounded GLP-1s are prepared by 503A/503B pharmacies regulated by state boards and the FDA, with purity independently tested. They contain the same active ingredient as the brand-name drugs. Your Union provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

Medication ships directly to your home in Union, Alabama in temperature-controlled, discreet packaging, typically within 2–3 business days of approval. Needles, syringes and alcohol wipes are included.
