Frequently asked questions

GLP-1 treatment in Potomac Heights, Maryland

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 Potomac Heights provider or clinic will show you how to self-inject, rotating between the abdomen, thigh and upper arm.

Most people notice reduced appetite within the first week or two, with meaningful weight loss over months. Trials showed ~5–10% loss by three months. Providers in Potomac Heights start you at a low dose and increase gradually, so results build steadily rather than overnight.

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 Potomac Heights provider helps choose based on your history and goals.

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 Potomac Heights provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

Both are semaglutide from Novo Nordisk. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes (often used off-label for weight loss), while Wegovy is approved specifically for chronic weight management at a higher dose. Same molecule, different indication and dosing.

Both are tirzepatide from Eli Lilly. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes, Zepbound for chronic weight management. The molecule and weekly dosing are identical — only the indication differs.
