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 Cornell 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 Cornell, Illinois

You can get weight loss shots in Cornell at the local medical weight-loss clinics ranked on this page, or online through a licensed telehealth provider that ships semaglutide or tirzepatide to your home. Both require a prescription from a Illinois-licensed provider.

Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) targets one receptor and averages ~15% weight loss; tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) targets two receptors and reaches up to ~22.5%. Tirzepatide is generally more effective but costs more. A Cornell provider helps you choose.

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 Cornell provider helps choose based on your history and goals.

In clinical trials, semaglutide patients lost about 15% of body weight and tirzepatide patients up to 22.5% over roughly 68–72 weeks on the highest dose. For a 200-pound person that is roughly 30–45 pounds. Results in Cornell vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

Standard criteria: BMI 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia or sleep apnea. Cornell providers follow FDA-guided criteria; a free assessment confirms eligibility in minutes.

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