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 Oakwood Hills 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 Oakwood Hills, Illinois

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 Oakwood Hills provider helps you choose.

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 Oakwood Hills 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 Oakwood Hills 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 Oakwood Hills vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

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 as the dose increases. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues and thyroid concerns. Your Oakwood Hills provider starts you low and monitors progress.

Some weight regain is common after stopping, with patients often regaining a portion within a year. Providers usually recommend gradual tapering and building sustainable habits while on the medication. Your Oakwood Hills provider can design a long-term or maintenance plan.
